The rest of us just appreciate the ride that having more than one pivot/linkage
yeah, my Mk 1 Nomad with 90 quids worth of bearings that wore out every 6 months and climbed like a dog with a broken back in the granny ring totally rocked... 🙄
The Alpine 160 that replaced it might not be perfect but it is a damn sight nicer to ride.
Wahaayy! I knew I'd get some interest as soon as & said 'Orange 5', on an otherwise pretty uninteresting thread, some of you lot are too predictable for your own good you know.
[i]TBF if the job is so simple OP why did you have to pay the LBS to do it for you?
Not so much a win for the simplicity of the five as a fail for the initiative of a five owner...
Velcro fastening shoes? or do you get someone in the shop to do your laces up for you?[/i]
Fail x 2. Double post AND you didn't read the OP, pay attention instead of jumping with both feet at the mention of 'Orange 5'
Thanks for the other 'insults', keep them coming but try something I've never heard before.
FYI, I'm a 56 yr old ex Council fitter who now works in a prison & is only 5'6" so you'll need to come up with something original. The winner gets a knackered pivot bearing off a 5. 😆
Not sure but has the Heckler not got a lifetime warranty on the pivot bearing? Not had to change it yet but the Heckler is now due a bit of TLC so it will be checked. Guess I will have to ride the hard tail in the mean time.
Good call on the OP and the LBS to respond it was warranty. They could have quite easily charged for the bearings.
Non warranty bearings from Simply Bearings for me. 🙂
Will that be a metric brick or an imperial brick?
Happy birthday by the way (I noticed you were 55 on a recent post).
