Hi All,
Some late night, wine fuelled ebaying resulted in me “winning” an Orange 5 frame from 2006 (straight top tube and steeper geometry than current models). I’m thinking of building it up for the winter (to save all those pivots on my Trance frame and just to see what it’s like). So, the first question is what forks to put on it?
I’m assuming that I can’t use my Fox F125RL forks from the Trance as these have the “new standard” overdrive 2 with a taper from 1 and 1/2″ to 1 an 1/4″, which presumably wont fit in the 1 and 1/8″ head tube on the Orange.
I would quite like to use my existing wheels though, but the front has a 15mm Fox QR.
Cheers,
Andy
