New (to me) Canyon Nerve XC 6 FS

[Mike!]

Hardtails tend to bash my tender back around a little too much so mine was sold a little while ago.

I have been looking for a bargain FS for a while and finally found one, picked up today!



I'm hoping the extra bounce and plushness will help me a little :-)

Apart from swapping the crazy stem out and getting the brakes swapped around (they are set back to front euro style) it all seems fine, although the chain needs a little more work (or maybe replacing, I will see how the cleaning and oiling goes)

The seat has been levelled!

Ooooooh.

Crazy riser stem removed (which was doing some weird stuff to the handling!)



Now rides much better and looks a whole lot better too!



May even take out the last spacer to get the front a little lower but boy is it comfortable, no big hits made any kind of impression on my ride to work today (that they would have done on my Hardtail)

I've swapped the Hydraulic lines over too so I now have front Brake on the right hand, rear left. Hopefully meaning no big handfuls of front brake by mistake!
