    Orange Clockwork questions.

    Hi, in the process of building a 90’ Clockwork on a budget, what’s the biggest tyre I can get away with on my original Mavic rims and original Orange forks? Also can I run a 7 Speed cassette with an XT RD M737 derailleur I found in the garage? Thanks Steve.

    Suntour XC comp v Avid single didgit 3

    This maybe a silly newbi question but which is best brakewise, as I have both but not sure which to nail to my bike. Cheers Steve

    Orange Stem

    Hullo, I am after a Stem, with all the bits, for an Orange Elite I think its 1 1/4". Not botherd about condition, as long as it works ok. I would like something with a bit of rise in it maybe. Not much money at the mo, but have got a race in a few weeks and need one for then. Cheers Steve

    Taller Stem

    My Orange Elite has a crappy Halfrauds stem on it, and I am after a new (old) one. Having done a few longer rides recently and getting some backache what are the options for getting a taller one to give a more comfortable riding position, without ruining the bike? Cheers Steve

    Race prep on my Elite.

    After a break of 15 years not riding, then starting doing a bit on the weekends a few years ago, I (with a few mates) am entering a 25 mile mtb race. My Orange Elite is a bit out of sorts at the mo, and I need to get it tuned up for the start. The chain slips badly in the middle chain ring...

    Fork upgrade??

    I have been thinking about a fork upgrade on my Orange Elite. I am using the bike more and more but find the travel on my RC35s a bit on the small side for what I am doing trailwise. I dont want to part with the old work horse :( and can't really afford a newer bike on top of this one, without...

    Orange Elite.

    Hullo, I am new to Retro bike, but not to Retro bikes even though I dont know much about the mechanics of them. I started out in around 1990 with a Muddy Fox, which then got upgraded to a black Clockwork, then a few years later I sold that :cry: to buy a prototype Orange :D . I then found...
