I'd be keen on this too, would take one (at least) of the bushings out i guess - how slack should a trail bike be really?
Nerve 2011 is 69deg.
I've just moved my 08/09 Marin Rock Springs from 70 to 67 by moving lower pivot option and I like it. Very small change in BB height change, none in seat angle.
I thought 2.2deg might be too much but I'm up for this for my Nerve - seems like a popular choice too.
Been onto Works and they are prioritising this over next few weeks.
I'm assuming I can install this easily myself; done std headsets OK.
Looking forward to this.
2012 is 68.5. I'd prefer a 1 degree cup which presumably would move HA by 1.7 or so with the adaptor cup.
Together with Burgtec bushings this might get it to 66ish, basically same as a Nukeproof Mega, and keep the BB close to original.
Has anyone heard from Works if this is confirmed to be available soon?
Nope, I've emailed Works twice and received no reply either time. Anyone else heard anything?
Yes, last Monday. They've got a backlog and should have the prototype ready about now with a production run within the next 7-14 days.
Then gotta get my AM back from Canyon after they fix the pivots and cranks.
Smashing! Please post up here if you have any more updates, cheers...
what's wrong with your pivots Mr E?
I emailed Works the other week and as of yet i've heard nothing back ether,I think i'll just be sticking with my Burgtec bushes now
Lower chainstay pivots gone, esp drive side. The rest of the linkage is so stiff I didn't notice until shock & wheel were removed for service at TF. Bike back at Canyon for 3+ weeks now; I am confident they'll honour the 2 year warranty. Hammershmidt supposedly worn out (yearish old) so discussions in hand....
OH MY GOD NOT THIS THREAD AGAIN
From Works. All sounding good
"I should be setting up a prototype to be machined by the end of the week all being well.
We will have 1 and 1.5 degree options - if there is call for it we would make an internal option for 1 1/8" steerer tubes but it looks like most Canyon owners have full-builds with tapered forks.
Yes, all of our cups are anodized black so will be in keeping with the frame / componentry.
I will get some more info on our facebook page as soon as we have it, and an item on our site when it is available.
Thanks, regards, Rick"
Lower chainstay pivots gone? As in disappeared, David Blane style? That would give me a bloody shock, hope mine remain firmly on the bike.
update from works components facebook page..
"Canyon Nerve Prototype headset is going in for anodizing today - test fitment later this week - Nearly there!"
Anyone here the "test pilot"?
Fingers crossed for this week?
I see that Works have now launched the Canyon angle set. Has anyone bought and fitted it the the Canyon Nerve AM yet? If so, how are you getting on with it?
I tried the prototype and have been very happy. Steerer tube was too short so used original Acros on top for now; zero stack due soon to finish the job for 1.0 deg or 1.5 actual with raising by external lower race. Acros bearings fit fine too.
I had offset bushings on my old Titus FTM and have the Burgtec ones on my 575.
Best thing I have ever done IMO
BTW the e bay ones don't stock all they say and you have to pay before they tell you that, hence the faff of a refund.
Burgtec are much nicer people
I've just fitted a 1 degree set to my nerve AM. Only ridden it once, not a massive difference but the front wheel is slacker so I reckon when I try it out on some downhill trails it will be more stable.
Any updates on a Works headset in a Canyon Nerve AM?
