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 
I also have an alpine, and changed to a fox coil shock, it is a lot plusher with a coil shock.
which did you go for. looking at a van r and the dhx 4. both discounted but want one to be my only shock so can sell the rp23 boostvalve fitted now.
Indeedy welcome to the mad house, don't be put off by the constant mickey taking

Does anyone know about toasters and the optium time bread should be in there?
been here 5 mins and my heads already getting ****ed lol. vegan farm sets, toasters lol. save me some of that strong stuff lads.
welcome.
you're bike is too clean. please ride it. 😉
Careful with the language, the mods don't like it.
Nice carpet BTW.
had alot of time with the snow recently so stripped it and did a full tart up. took the pics for something to do. will put some action shots on shortly. 😉
Flashy - Is that your way of applying for Sales Director of my new business?
Your coasters aren't as aligned as some on here would like
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 🙂 )
will sort them out asap lol. since this pic changed the grips for odi ruffians in lime green and put tioga surefoot mx pro flats on in white. awsome pedals with mega grip.
looked at the ccdb but its a £300 option. big bucks. also looked at an elka stage 5 but they are mega big bucks. the 2 i listed are in the price range but also may go to a van rc, new model for an extra £80
what are they on your pedals? are they.... emmm.... what they called..... emmmm.... reflectors?
LOL sorry couldn't resist - veryt smart, the pic just helps push me in the direction of an Orange for my new bike later this year!
Welcome aboard!
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"
Do you live in an office reception area?
Liking the greenness of things btw 🙂
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.
is that a copy of razzle on your coffee table 😆
oh and welcome to the madhouse
Cushions need straightening, sorry, welcome and good luck you'll need it...,,,,
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.
Henry or Dyson?
Hello and welcome
Nice bike
As no-one has mentioned it, I'm assuming that is your 'fettling rug'?
Reflectors on pedals fail.
Cushion infestation.
hard to keep up here. fettling rug? not sure, henry, not dyson. am i making any sense or doesnt it really matter.
Hmmm, toaster. Ponders a muffin.
Henry or Dyson?
We've got both a Henry and a ball dyson
One week of builders dust killed the dyson,, six months of builders dust and Henry is lapping it up, dysons are rubbish!
Ooooh yes, hello new peep, nice bike 😀
Hmmm, Punctuation young man 🙄
(welcome btw 😉 )
Half term already?
Jesus Christ sort those brake levers out.
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.
hey thats my colour of my bike..you cant have that ! 😉
lol my son has the orange Alpine 160 with the cane creek coil shock.... bit of a faf to 'set it up right' at first but sorted now...
got it at a reduced price as ex demo so didnt wory about the colour. going to get it changed at a later date for a birthday or Xmas pressie or something. not sure what to though. i like the plasma blue but you see alot of 5s in that. also like the purple they do and quite rare out on the trails so that's leading the way so far. for now im still in love. at the moment im grounded, the hope axle in the rear wheel snapped at llandegla. contacted and its being repaired under warranty but wheel gone away to orange. said they have had a load of the maxle light axles snap so converting back to the thicker one. also sending me a new axle so may have a 135 x 12 maxle going if anyone interested later. as for the levers i will give them ago in a diff position, see if it helps or hinders as i dont pretend to have all the answers except if you were to ask my lady, then shed tell you im always right pmsl.
next upgrade is a blackspire stinger in green and a set of v1 bars rather than the standard ones. also a 36t raceface chainring with 104 bcd. anyone got one spare? got the supertacky 2.5 tyres for when i go to inners dh course and morzine. crc got 2.35 highrollers atm for £18 odd with single ply case and super tacky. great price for all purpose tyres.

What's wrong with his brake levers? Are mine too far round as well?
Should I stop braking with my middle finger? Anything else we should do to fit in with the latest STW dictated fashion?

you could line your tyre logo's and valves up and while your at it sort out your brake cabling 😉
