Really happy I got the Grail CF 7.
I originally thought about getting a road bike, but with this I can just leave the asphalt whenever I want (It runs on asphalt quite well as well). Been finding a lot of cool places and quiet roads I’d probably never see otherwise.
Also nice being able to avoid cars as much as possible.
I’m considering buying a used 2017 Canyon Spectral and wanted to get your opinion before I decide.
The bike looks good overall, but there’s a noticeable dent on the downtube near the bottom bracket (see photos). There are also some scratches on the top tube, but those seem cosmetic.
I’m planning to ride trails and some downhill.
Would you consider this safe to ride, or is this a deal breaker?
Price is around 850 EUR.

I found a 2011 Trek Fuel EX in good condition for really cheap price and I’m thinking of getting it just to try MTB and see if I like the sport.
Do you think it’s worth it as a starter bike, or should I skip it and look for something newer?
Riding: trails + planning to try bike parks Location: Czech Republic Budget: around 500 EUR Current bike: Canyon Grail CF 7 (gravel) — not suitable for MTB Experience: beginner, just want to try the sport and see if I like it
My Messor barbarus, Lasius niger, and Acrobat ants colonies won’t move into new test tubes. It’s been over 24 hours, and the water in their current tubes is completely gone.
Instead of relocating, they seem to be trying to dig through the cotton rather than move into the fresh tubes with water.
Is this normal behavior?
Should I intervene somehow, or just give them more time?
