its an awesome idea but i dont think it would work on my orange alpine 160, how ever i do want the rear mech.

cheers dude, the tiers are great grip super well in the corners and when flying over the roots and the loose stuff, really aimed my bike for the riding down than the up so i though the big tyers would be best for gip and they role quick as well.

ill have a go at this i ride an orange alpine 160, 2008 marzocchi 66rc fork, and a fox rp23 rear shock, running mavic x729 rims on superstar hubs, schwalbe big betty 2.5 tyers front and rear super grippy, shimano slx breaks are super powerful crashed on my first ride with them they were that strong, i ride single ring up front race face ride dh cranks on the E*thirteen tst+ chain guide, on the rear im running sram 8sp sam x5 rear mech and x4 shifter the transition on gears is super smooth with no delay when changing, most importantly is my new rock shox reverb which has changed the way i ride, and finaly my saddle is a charge spoon which is super comfy on the up hills.. i think thats me done :D with more than 3 lines you can see th beauty here http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/8020239/

The question is how does your mail man get around O.O
