What happened to the Five you were rebuilding, Ratty?

Got a good deal on a 650b version so sold one to buy the other and then the other guy decided to keep it after he knew how much faff I went to sorting out payment for him.

Search does not seem to be throwing up anything useful.

2016 Orange Five, anyone got any tips on base tune for a CCDB Air shock please. CC only goes up to 2014 on its app.

Thanks.

Afternoon all. Any Alpine 160 owners out there? If so (and I know this is a hopeful ask) can anyone give me any indication of whether a 170 reverb would work with a large frame???

You're in the UK, just give Orange a call..?

Does anyone knows a Company to have a Shock tuned for Orange frames? I tried Push Industries but they don´t work with Orange.

I also spoke to Creig from Avalanche Racing but, by the linear SP linkage suspension and a few numbers of Orange frames in US, it is not easy to find an expert to tune the shocks up.

Same problem here. Push say they don't have Orange in the USA.


Extreme Shox might be the answer. They have already worked with Orange frames.

Never tried though.

Hi guys,

I have always had my shocks tuned to weight, riding style, linkage etc by J-Tech suspension - this has been across a few bikes (IH Sunday, Devinci Wilson, Orange 322) to excellent effect.

I note both of you are quite a way from the UK! If local suspension tuners can't offer anything, I'd suggest dropping J-tech an email and seeing if they can provide settings (possibly shim stacks/ other internal guidance for your local suspension servicers to put into effect)
