Is it normal that when i tighten this bolt to secure the seat post, it makes some ticking/cracking noise? I used the 5 Nm torque wrench…

Must have accessories for the bike? What do you have and what would you recommend?

Ordered my first Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2 last week, and I should be receiving it next week. I've ordered some Canyon accessories like carbon bottle cages, water bottles, Garmin mount (the one without light). But this does not feel enough.

I'm currently thinking about adding a saddle bag, front lights, spare tire tubes, mini pumps, ABUS lock, etc but not sure whether I should get it from Canyon or not.

What do yall have and what would you recommend (both from Canyon and some 3rd party brands)?

Thanks!

Which one should I pick? Aeroad vs propel

Right now considering between Giant propel advanced pro 1 (2025, discounted to €3600) and Canyon aeroad cf slx (2026, €4200) both with shimano 105 di2.

Personally prefer Canyon’s design but giant’s value is too good to ignore. Giant has a powermeter included but not the integrated handle bar, which is the opposite in canyon…

Which one would you recommend? My head hurts thinking about this 😅

Thanks!

Propel advanced 1 2023 model with replaced crank, wheels and front derailleur.

The seller told me that he would be able to go down to €2600, although i’ll end up paying €2750 for shipping and processing fees. He also told me that the old/replaced components will be included in the sale.

10,000km ridden and €5800 MSRP.

Is this a good deal? Any opinions appreciated!

Seller states that it is a scratch and paint chip. Do you think it is just that or a frame damage?

Also this bike (agree C62 SL 2022) is €2.2k with SRAM force etab and MOST ultrafast 45. 6500 km ridden. Is this a good deal?
