    Seatpost is bent, and it looks like you have a female saddle on there, and a blindfold or something hanging off the handlebar.

    Thanks for that, I've not long got one myself (Five) and the chain slap was doing my head in.

    I couldn't get hold of a of a Lizard skins Jumbo for mine, apparently these fit Five frames so tried a Speedstuff Monster...... to big, Speedstuff XXXL ......nearly, but still a bit too big and a Speedstuff XXL.... to small WTF ? :roll:

    Have you run into any pivot clearance issues running the Double and Bash, 36 outer ?

    and are you using the SLX double specific front Mech?

    Cheers

    I've had to run an extra bb spacer on the driveside to allow the chain to pass the pivot bearing on and off the 36t ring.

    paul20v How you get on with the Smart Sams? They lasted about 50miles on my previous bike before I ditched them for fire XC's

    There fine in the dry on fire roads and hard pack but they wash out very easy with any hint of wet
    i think the compound is too hard
    if its going to be wet i swap to high roller super tackys .

    It used to be on Orange's website, that 32T was the max. I'm running a 34T on my 08 model and needed an extra 1mm spacer to clear the pivot.

    Others I ride with have 2011 models and no issues with 36T so maybe something has been tweeked.

    Lovely looking bike i nearly brought one of these instead of my P7 whic i have in Neon Green (frame and rims ) with a Ritchey Wet white finishing kit topped with a speciallized Phenom 143 saddle well comfy due to the split seating area running standard slx /Truvativ running gear but swapping them for a pair of XTR m970 with a pair of red jockey wheels to match

    he's got pics here now.

    I've only just noticed that your forks have changed colour from white to black :?

    edit - Have you gone up to 160mm travel too ? The through axle looks to be a 20mm now.

    Hi yeah the black forks are 36 talas R s there actually modified to 150mm and they have a tapered steerer where as the 32s were using a stepdown adapter .
