Is that 'forest green'? Looks like gloss black... but i guess its one of those paints that the colour explodes when the sun hits it??

Looks ace.

Yeah forest green. When i was first taking the bike out of the box i thought they had sent me the black! But it just depends on the lighting. Its bloody FANTASTIC!!!

Welcome to the club.

Bike looks fantastic, seriously looking at ordering one of these. Do you mind me asking what size you went for and how tall are you?

Well this was my worry. Im 5ft 7 so i emailed Canyon UK to ask what they recommended as ive heard the size guide on the website isnt accurate but anyway i was told that a medium kicks in at 5ft 9 so a small would be fine for me and guess what? It is! GET ONE!

Along with the Mucky Nutz fender bender ive just fitted the new Mucky Nutz butt fender. Took me a while to fit as i think there must be a knack to it as its only supposed to take seconds! Anyway yet to try it out but hope to be out finding mud asap!

I have the Mucky Nutz and it is good keeps muck out the face and dog poo off your baggies. Thought about the buttfender but dont like the idea of coming off and having it saw me nuts in half. :shock:

How did you remove the 'plastic crap'?

I broke mine off by hacking away with a junior hacksaw and then pulling the rest off with some pliers.

Cheers Rigga - I've had my Nerve for 6 months and everytime I use it I think "I must get rid of that" but never do.

Is it fairly quick and easy or should I set some time aside?

EH_Rob

I'm pretty sure I snapped mine off by hand, so about 10 seconds

Took an age to get mine off! Mainly due to the fact that i did it as soon as i got the bike and didnt want to damage it! I started off with some clippers but that wasnt relly working so in the end i ended up using my dremel! After that its a case of working it free from the spokes.

Or you could do it properly by taking the cassette off. Takes about 5 minutes with the proper tools.
