[b][u]nicemates:[/u][/b] Big ride tomorrow where I WILL take some pics, and test it a bit more thoroughly.
So, was it so awful that you are embarrassed to tell us about it, so good that you haven't stopped riding it yet, or did you stack it and we have to wait for you to get out of traction before hearing all about it? Enquiring minds want to know.
I realise that one shouldn't set too much store by first ride reports. Nobody ever dropped the best part of £3K on a bike and thought it was anything other than fantastic, but I'd still be interested to hear your thoughts.
Box storage is great.... I recommend it.. check back later.
Very nice, thanks. Could do with a bit more mud on it though 🙂

I can't deny it, I've cleaned it more times than I've ridden it..
Still well and truly in the honeymoon period.
P.S. running a 38/24 front chainset
Tidy! Just needs a Kashima dropper now 🙁
How was the cheeky trail? 🙂
I'm rather surprised that Orange aren't doing 142 rears - I'd have thouight their (relatively) small, in-house manufacturing would have lent itself quite readily to updating stuff quickly.
How's the clearance with the double? I thought it was an un-do-able due to the pivot position but obviously not.
This thread doesn't make my life any easier, i wanted to step away from single pivots and try something different but i'm drawn back to the Gyro time and again.
Yeah seems a bit odd it's not 142, although it looks like they're waking up with the Five29.
Can't see why it's such massive issue though, all the wheelsets I was looking for came with 135x12 as an option (accept form Shimano) and most come with adapters should you need to change it in the future.
Double ring worked fine up front, it did look a little tight but I haven't spaced out the drive side at all so I can't invision any problems.
I've come from FSR and the single pivot has made the constant cleaning of my new bike a breeze!
Nice looking bike, what size is it and how tall are you?
It's a large, I'm 6.2" and lanky with it. Suits me perfect.
