Orange Five Pro - Kashima Fox 36

christurbo

I thought that I would add my MTB to the list of steeds on here.

She is an Orange Five Pro with some nice upgrades. I have usually gone for Specialised FSR type rigs so going to a single pivot was a big step but I love everything about it. It is a mans bike and likes to be treated that way over the trials I frequent, however it is surprisingly a decent XC rig when it needs to be too.

Very shiny but an odd build which looks better suited to an Alpine than a Five.

I'm looking out for a chain guide at the moment. MRP, e*thirteen or Superstar?

Superstar chain devices dont work particularly well. MRP and E Thirteen both work very well but the bottom guide is quite fragile and costs around £50 to replace.
Just fit a clutch mech and narrow wide ring then theres no need for a chain device.

That's my current setup - I have realised what must have happened. I went from a 34t to a 32t but didn't remove any links so it must be a bit loose. I am going to get that done and I should be OK.
