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.
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. 😉
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
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”.
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.
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 😀
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.
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…
