I’ve checked the alignment wheel is centred left right and up down, crank arms are equal distance from chain stays, swing arm is centred around shock area , all moves ok with shock removed , so maybe I got a straight one… :-) looks amazing in Cam Am Yellow :P

Just bought one in the middle of building it up my first Intense looks really nice so far , I wanted a 26″ version of the Bronson and this seems to be pretty close geometry wise, :D

:D It’s an Intense Tracer 2, just building it up….. tiny wheels :-)

will post pics when its done :D

I used one of these in mine with XTR cranks

PF30[/url]

I recently bought some of ebay mint condition, £200 2012 version :D
they do look very nice came with red levers and a fancy top cap, oh and the rotors are massive 203 floaters seem much beefier than standard floating hopes

Some really nice builds, I wonder how heavy my build would be,

XT group set 1 x 10 , Float 36 RC2, Hope Hoops with FlowEX , Reverb, etc guess around 31lb :-)

Don’t wear mine for biking , worry about sweat and mud and its always raining except today was sunny , took me a while to get used to the tinny sound , its starnge in a pub with loads of back ground noise odd conversations seem to come through a clear as any thing some are quite funny :D

That is all.

So true Mr K :D

Thats cool Ashwee, will be the colour for me looks amazing…

ddmonkey tis on the Orange Website due in June

nice one uberscott, like the Candy Apple green

Thanks for the help, Ashwee is that Plasma Blue looks awesome :D

more pics will help ,

Not bothered about wheel size , just want it to ride well, and I understand it wont be no mountain goat, new one is 2/3lb lighter which will help :D

35mm and 750mm bars for me ok with a fork over 140mm, 68 deg head angle

Mine was 33lb, 36’s upfront vanR with Ti spring , XTR 1 x 10 , Flow’s,
Sunline 745 bar and 40mm stem , Hope Tech 4’s …. :D

Blew a Maxxis Advantage of the rim when fitting the other day, but it was upto 50psi , the other fitted fine, tried again no problem , must of been someting I’d done , Flow EX rims, Advantage front and rear.

Quick update , bought some 2nd user Hope Tech V2’s with 203mm rotors, so hopefully will be able to stop quickly when my bottle goes :D

Crossed my mind to fit 26″ wheels with 2.4 Ardents on a Bronson with my 36’s upfront :D can’t be far off a 27.5″

would be nice if it was just the drop outs that where different :D

I guess by next year all the high end bikes will be 650b probably an Orange 5 in 650b would be a good enduro / trail bike in the current trend of wheels would be daft not to follow suit, Santa Cruz have the Bronson and I bet it wont be long before a 650b tall boy type xc bike will be along maybe female specific or for vertically challenged :-)
maybe a yeti SB67 :D the list would be long, and Fox’s new 140mm 650b forks will be a good clue 8)

I had a carpark ride of the 160mm one with 650b wheels felt nice and light for 160 travel bike , it weighed 30lb dead on, I felt the wheels turned a bit heavy but they did have a set of huge Noby Nics on, pedals quite well :D

Forgot to say bike is a 32lb SC Butcher wih 36’s up front :D

I’ve been running 1 x 10 36 to 36-11 xt with an e-13Lg1+ has been fine climbs are ok just don’t expect to fly

Always insured and always signed for just include it in your price.

If your a medium Tweeks have a Foxy R

Mondraker Foxy

Try bleeding the push button, sometimes it can just need a quick bleed.

I fancy the Alloy one with a 150mm RS Rev 650b fork, 650b Hope Hoops Arch EX, and 2012 XT groupset of my current bike, would be fairly light I guess around 28.5lb ish :-)

Knees , elbows , shoulders , wrists ………………. 50+ years of fun :D

Carbon is comfier :D and warmer in the winter, lighter is a bonus for me, my old wrists like comfy :-)

25.92lb with mud and pine needles , so 25.9 when clean :D

Santa Cruz do the Juliana SL in a 15″

yes awesome REVERB the way to :D

Crests , I’m running 2.25 Ardent up front and a 2.2 Ikon rear, 15 stone :oops: rider…just ride them and small jumps n drops no problem.

I used a TFTuned and Pushed Vanilla R with Ti Spring was awesome, climbed pretty good and went downhill even better, 90Kg+ rider :D

100 bored angry cynical ****”….has he been on here?
I REALLY like the sweary Santa Cruz guy!
Nice to hear it’ll be longer,lower and slacker than ‘usual’.
NOW I’m interested.

Great video he is spot on :D it is one of the ones :-)

Slack , Low BB , long wheel base, 29er with big sticky tyres :D

Yes I have and still have 2 or is it 3 :D

Bronson is a posh upto date Butcher :D

I imagine Donny will be on his Nomad for Innerleithen, I’m sure he would do well on a pogo stick, some people have it and lots don’t.

Any how it looks like a great Enduro bike , and one that would help me compensate for lack of skills, mincing around trails :D

:D Put my summer tyres on 2 months ago , I was hoping for nice weather and an early spring :D

I’m 15 stone, 2013 XT brakes with cooling fins on the pads, XT rotors , I have a 203mm and a 180mm , but would buy another 203mm if it was advised, never done DH before so will probably be using them alot , with plenty of butt twitching :D, will be riding Llangollen, Antur Stiniog and a couple of other local tracks, never ridden any of them so its going to be a good year for learning, hoping to book a coaching lesson with Neil Donoghue then hopefully have a good time, I’m not racing its just for fun. :D

Me thinks more Blur Trc Lt longer TT than BlurLt, will be awesome , I’m a funny shape and fit Santa Cruz geometry …

I really like it …

I ride a Medium Butcher and a Large Blur Trc, Blur more Xc set up Butcher is built for fun , 5′ 9″…

Medium , small would be as you say too short.

30 foot drifts on my local trails around the forest so not much fun on the bike :D
