    hi guys, the names jase from midlands, i ride an alpine 160 2010 and am into freeride/ dh and xc if the lads are out as they arent as nuts as me. on other forums just to meet others who love riding and hooking up for days out all around the country. done all but a few of the 7 stanes, alot around wales and canock chase is my local. heading to morzine to soon so a new experience there.

    looking to swap my rear shock ( rp23 boostvalve) to a coil shock so any input great.

    Welcome to the mad house, note: the majority of the threads on this forum dont or wont relate to anything about mountain bikes :mrgreen:

    I also have an alpine, and changed to a fox coil shock, it is a lot plusher with a coil shock.

    Greetings.

    Not sure if it’s in your price range but, a mate of mine rides an Alpine with a CaneCreek Double Barrel and reckons it was worth every penny to upgrade. I can’t comment as I haven’t ridden it though (HTH 🙂 )

    Welcome alpinestar. There is a longstanding tradition that certain topics are re visited at certain times- e.g. “what tyres for (insert name of place/ style of riding” or “How much is this worth?”. These topics can lead to frustrated comments from some of the members of the community.

    As an example of a fast moving topic, perhaps take a look at “Friday A+A”.

    And an all time classic is “Agent Picolax”

    Lipseal, I find setting three works on pretty much all toasters. But I am a ‘warm-bread’ man rather than a ‘charcoal’ man.
    Hope that helps.

    Just been experimenting with hot cross bun bread (setting 4) it’s rather tasty.

    Sorry forgot to say hi, as you can see we can get easily distracted on here, you’ll get the hang of it. 8)

    pedals were what orange suply with the bike, crappy. cushions were straight before i started reading my copy of razzle then got distracted setting my meat toaster to high and fast if you know what i mean pmsl. dont know if you meant me living in a reception area, its my conservatory/ bike work shop lol. as for the green, looks stunning. got the green grips now and got a blackspire stinger on order with the green roller to. thought about a hope seat clamp in green but dont know if they do it. can get hope pro 2 in green but arent spending that kind of money when im running them in black now.

    got the bike direct from orange, ex magazine demo bike. been out 3 times from new. they fitted new tyres, brake pads, gear cables and bb before i picked it up. rrp was £2800. they wanted £2100. haggled and begged and got it for £1900 including a spare set of super tacky 2.5 high rollers and 2 orange logo fleeces totaling £120 in bits. sweet deal. also a week after i got the bike the shock started playing up so sent it off to orange and got a brand new rp23 replacement so cant complain.

    As no-one has mentioned it, I’m assuming that is your ‘fettling rug’?

    why bro, you going to be riding it. brakes work fine for me. 😉 🙄

    Hot cross buns should really be 2, not 4. Up to 6 for crumpets. 3 for everything else. Except potatoe waffles, which need maximum power, and sometimes two goes if it’s a poor toaster.

    They look almost vertical. A recipe for pain in my book but whatever floats your boat. Lovely bike though.
