Does any know the maximum middle size an Orange five (2009) can take.
Currently I've got the stock 32t andlooking at the pivot placement not sure if it could take a 34t or 36t.
Anyone tried a 34 or 36?

thanks

Running a 36 tooth. Make sure you fit a spacer behind the driveside BB cup or else the chain will catch the swingarm bearing cover when you change down to the granny ring!

Chainline still seems fine.

Nickegg...presumably the spacer will move the middle ring out so it won't catch on the swingarm pivot? (the middle ring is directly under it at the moment).
What size spacer did you use?

thanks

Exactly, my LBS didn't realise it needed it until i changed down and gouged into the bearing cover thingy.

Just use a standard spacer as supplied with shimano bb/cranks.
