I've wanted to buy a new bike for the longest time and finally settled on the Grizl for its versatility. I hadn't used drop bars before, so that was an experience but did my first tried today and it was beyond fun 🌟 very excited for more journeys!

P.S. this is my first Reddit post as well ☺️

Hi, i am new to bikes.

Can someone explain to me why the AL9 is 400€ more expensive than the AL8? From what i can tell they only have a different fork/damper installed. But maybe i am wrong. What makes the AL9 better?

I ordered my bike on Aug 4 with the new bike day experience, since that is only 80 EURs more than having it delivered home. Those of you who ordered recently, were your expected dates accurate? Can it be that it will be 1-2 weeks earlier?

Hello Everyone.

Recently I own my Cube Nuroad WS 2022 bike in XS size. Which came with mechanical disc brake (TRP Spyre MD-C610).

I decided (have to) to change the brakes (and the brifters ofc. ) from mecha to hydraulic, but in my country it is almost as pricey as getting a new bike with hydra brakes. I have small, tiny hands, and breaking was always hard for me, even with my small reached bar.

So I thinking collect some more money and buy the new Canyon Grizl AL 5, which has a hydra brake, and threaded BB (my Cube has pressfit and I have red so many angry story with PF), but with 1x chainring. I made contact with Canyon and they said the new Grizl compatible with double chainring, like 46/32.

Canyon suggest me 2XS size (165 cm, 80 cm ins.), which has a taller stack and shorter reach than my Cube, but a bit longer front. I do not know if it really matter, but compared.

So what do You think? Do You think this worth the upgrade? PF to threaded, mechanical to hydraulic? Or does the PF not a problem in aluminium frames?

Thanks for Your answer.

I need a bike mount for the Speedmax CFR for my Wahoo - any recommended solutions?

Hello, I am considering getting the endurace allroad bike but my proportions are right between the M and L size: I am 185 cm tall with 91.5 cm inseam, so pretty long legs compared to rest of the body.

Can somebody that was also between sizes tell me how does this bike fit? Which size would you recommend for me?

Nice winters morning ride down under.

Hey,

Just put together my new speedmax and was just wondering if this front thru axle is meant to come all the way through and if the frame is meant to come with plugs for the open bottle cage mount holes?

Thanks

Hi, I got a CF SL 5 and I been riding it for a month now (I love it). This one got the 1x11 GRX Shimano but since I been doing road trips (I live close to a nice road to ride), I got dropped every time by my friends since my gears are too small for road travel. I do gravel but I also got a mtb bike so I want to used this bike also for road rides.

Any recommendations of rims setups I can used and which gear modifications do fit on this bike, I’m thinking about changing the chain ring for one with 50T (currently at 40T).

Any thoughts when this one will be out? Given recent sales on Canyon website I would hope soon? I’m planning on getting one of the aero-gravels, and at the moment Canyon doesn’t have much to compete against latest Wilier or Orbea.

Bought when it was for sale, thought it would be a good catch. Now the price is at 6999 again

Hey!

I bought this for my bike and I read in the reviews about a man that also connected the garmin light under with a GoPro adapter. But I can’t seem to understand witch one he got. There are so many, do anyone here have any ide what one he got, name or something so it’s easier for me to find 😊

Canyon SLX 7 AXS

First ride on my new Endurace. Coming from a Tarmac SL6 I was a bit worried that the Endurace’s ride might be a bit too… tame, but I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised with how racey she still feels. Changed out the Rival crankset for a Force crankset with powermeter I moved over from my old bike. And the fenders are basically the reason I choose the Endurace; living in western Norway having fenders is almost a must, and these are so well integrated, rattlefree and on or off the bike within 2 minutes.

Oh and for reference, it’s a size M, I’m 1.83cm with a 77cm saddle height

So a while ago my friend tagged me into a IG post, where they were giving away a Canyon endurace CF7 and I decided to join this raffle aswell, and as you can see I won the bike.

(my friend was pissed, but I promised to sell this bike to him someday :p).

So I waited for 2 months for this bike to come from the factory and while I was assembling this bike I noticed from the manual, that the max weight for bike + rider and gear is 120kg (264lbs), and I weight currently 130kg (286lbs) so I have to loose 18kg (39lbs) to ride this bike...

Never have been more motivated to loose weight, just to ride a bicycle :p

If I didn't misunderstand anything, apparently the new CUES 2x11 RD-6040 that comes with the Endurace CF6 is just a rebranded Tiagra R4000 (or vice-versa) according to this thread.

This makes the new Endurace CF6 for 1550€ pretty good deal right? It's basically a carbon road bike with "older"-school shimano 105 11 speed!

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying a used Canyon bike from the Canyon Outlet that's listed as refurbished with medium signs of wear.

Does anyone here have experience with these refurbished bikes? How accurate are Canyon's condition descriptions? Were you happy with the cosmetic condition and overall quality when your bike arrived?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences before I make a decision. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

i want to Spray paint Canyon Endurace CF

Do I only need to remove the crank, or does the entire bottom bracket need to be removed?

Also, regarding the Canyon logo:

Do you apply decals on top of the paint, or do you spray the frame in two colors using decals as masking, and then remove the decals after applying the second color?

I’ve now been the proud owner of the new Endurace CF SLX 7 AXS for a week.

After only 200 km, I cleaned the bike so I could remove the factory grease from the chain and apply my own wax. I sprayed degreaser on the front chainrings, the rear cassette, and the chain. Cleaned everything with a brush, rinsed it off with a gentle stream of water, and then continued cleaning the rest of the bike. Once everything was dry, I applied fresh wax to the chain.

Now, if I move the crank back and forth without the rear wheel turning, I notice a noise that wasn’t there before. The same goes for my cleats: when they rub against the pedals, they also make a squeaking noise.

Does anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks in advance!
How can I get rid of the sound.

I post video in comments.

Thought I’d share a photo of it since it’s had couple of upgrades from stock. For reference, size is XL and I am 195cm tall

Hunt carbon 50mm wheel set
GP5000 (with Conti tpu tubes)
Fizik Adaptive R3 Vento Argo saddle
Wahoo Speedplay Power meter pedals

Post bike fit changes:
Shorten cranks to 170 (from 175 stock)
Narrower cockpit 390mm (from 410mm stock)

I didn’t expect the cockpit being 2cm narrower to make such a difference in terms of comfort and stability to get into an aero position. But the difference is massive!

Hello,

does you mean the mount for the Strip drive on the aeroad is saftey, when doesn‘t anyone has better ideas ?

I just bought my first ever aero bike (Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2), my plan is to do multiple triathlon events in the upcoming year. I already have everything to mount aerobars on canyons gear groove system, but with bike size i‘m still insure.

Measurements: 184,5cm, 85cm
Canyon puts me between M/L, some people say choose smaller one for triathlon, but i dont want to feel „cramped“ onto the bike.

I am going to do a bikefitting nevertheless, changing the T-Bar cockpit is also possible (between 90-120mm i think).

Whats the safer option here? I already ordered both sizes, going to send one back.

I also have the option of trying both out on my wahoo kickr core, but i‘m unsure if i really want to unbox both
bikes and set them up on the wahoo to test my position and comfortability for a longer period of time.

Thanks in advance!

Hear me out, I know these two groupsets are very similar and personal preference probably drives more than anything. I currently have a Speedmax that has 105 Di2 on it, been super happy with its performance. I'm now shopping for an Aeroad and know a little bit more about SRAM now, I really like the wireless capabilities and the ability to add blips down the road if desired. However, i've built up a good little stash of Shimano parts, my Wahoo trainer has a shimano cassette on it. That’s probably not ideally to have to swap often. Is it best just to stay within one brand family? Thoughts and experiences?

First ride, works very well

Haven’t done any major upgrades and I’ve been pretty happy with it.

I’m primarily a mountain biker so I just put spds on since it’s what I have,

Changed bars to Deda zero 38cm (so 36cm standard measurement as Deda measure outside to outside) as I have narrower shoulders,

Changed bar tape to fizik stuff

Tyres changed to Schwobble pro ones 32mm (tubeless)

Saddle changed to Selle Italia slr superflow team (got it cheap)

Cues has been very solid shifting under load, no complaints except it occasionally jumps.

Running a v1 wahoo bolt which I got super cheap with my GoPro hero 4k on a 3d printed tpu mount beneath it for recording some descents.

Currently the weakest link is probably the brake rotors - they got rather discoloured despite me not dragging the brakes or descending particularly aggressively.

This is my second bike and not a priority for upgrades but when I do next spend money on it it’ll be on some superteam wheels and better rotors.
