1. Is removing the front tire hugger (the plastic bit over your front tire) easy? is it just a matter of removing the 2 bolts either side and pull it off? (wanting to have it resprayed) or do you have to remove the whole tire to take the plastic hugger off?
Side bar..
2. Does having a chain with too much give in it make gearing up and down messy, clunky and noisy? or has the chain tension nothing to do with the gear mechanism (currently i have about 2.5inch of movement in the chain)
Cheers

thats a fair bit mate should only be about ~1 inch of slack, maybe a little more. Wont necessarily make shifting noisy but will be noisy fullstop."The measure of a man is what he does with power" - Plato

I tried removing my front fender on the weekend, there are 4 bolts, the first 2 were easy to take off, but the two behind seem impossible to get too, can't get a spanner or even my hand past the wheel to get to them.....
blows...
If you get a chance have a look at your front fender, there has to e some specific spanner or tool to be using..

mine had an insanely tight fit and took lots of fugging around to remove it. but presumably it can be done.
If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.
