Hi,
After much searching on a budget I have placed a deposit on a Ginat Talon 27.5 version 4 see link below.

As I was on a budget I had to compromise a little. The front chainring has a plastic guard on the front and I would be worried this broke on rough terrain and damaged the chain rings. Is it possible to take this off?
Also, if you look closely at the picture on the URL, the front shifter cable doens't come down the back of the seat post tube but intsead veers off to the front shifter exposed because the front shifter has no "extender" it seems. Is it easy and expensive to change the front shifter?
Thanks in advance
