What does the Canyon Council think of my new decals for my 2023 Aeroad CF SLX? (Before pic at the end)
Got these decals from a German seller on kleinanzeigen (German Craigslist).
Really happy with the fit and the colour(s). Price was 80€.
I am a little bit nervous about longevity when wiping down etc.
Inspired by the new Aeroad CFR.
NBD Grizl CF6
SRAM AXS E1 Force XPLR 13spd
Elite Wheels Aero+ Gravel (45mm Hutchinson Caracal Race measure ~ 50mm)
Redshift suspension stem with Ritchey 38mm Butano 38mm bars
Ridden on Cat 1/2 gravel and single track ~ 700 miles so far with no issues. Hate the proprietary headset spacers and had to source a new headset grommet to switch from 2 cable SRAM Apex mech to wireless.
New Grail Dropping soon?
See this on canyon site when I access from my phone. But when I goto it there’s no new model yet.
Finally NBD!
Finally got my new Canyon Endurace CF 8 Di2 🖤
First Gravel ! First Canyon ! And New Grizl 5 !
Hello,
After weeks of internet searches/models comparaison, I purchased the new Canyon Grizl 5 !
So excited to received it and test it ! It is my first gravel, I hope I made the right choice. I’m a beginner.
What would you recommend as shoes and pedals ?
Thanks,
Canyon Grail or Endurace as All in One Bike?
Hi everyone, I’m looking for my first gravel/road bike and need your help. Here’s my requirements: I’m 1,97 and weigh about 97kg. I’m looking for an all-in-one bike that I can ride sportily on the road, but also on forest trails and gravel, even when it gets rougher. In the end it will probably be 60-70% asphalt and 30-40% gravel.
I’ve already test-ridden the Grail CF7 and found the riding feel very positive and had actually already made up my mind. But now the new Endurace CF7 has come out and I’m wondering if that would be a better fit for my use case? Can you help me out. I think with the Grail I have the more versatile bike, which gives me more tyre clearance, a more aggressive position and still allows me to fit narrower tyres. Or is 38mm tyre clearance enough and in your opinion is the Endurace the better choice? Thanks in advance
Canyon Grizl 8 1by – best upgrades for comfort on gravel?
Hey all,
I have a Canyon Grizl 8 AL 1by and I’ve started riding it more this year. I’m noticing some harshness on rough gravel and looking to improve comfort.
Current setup:
- 45 mm tires with tubes
- Rider weight: 83 kg
- Riding mix of gravel and paved roads
- Mostly riding longer rides (e.g. 1–3 hours)
I’m considering a few upgrades and wondering what order you’d prioritize for comfort:
- Going tubeless
- New saddle
- Suspension seatpost (Canyon VCLS vs Redshift)
- Suspension stem (Redshift)
For those who’ve tried these, what made the biggest difference?
(Separately, I am also looking into clipless shoes for performance. worth the upgrade?)
Thanks!
Canyon Grizl 5 colors
What do you think about new colours of Grizl 5? Seems quite bland, not sure if there is 1 good colour.
Bike fit check
Hi! Just want to ask, Do i need to adjust something? I cant relax my elbow for now since its very hard to balance because I don’t have anywhere to mount the bike on so i have to lean on the wall and rely on gravity as i try to hold on the handlebars 😅
Need help identifying this Aeroad generation and paint scheme
New Endurance CF AXS returns to a traditional cockpit.
I got my CF AXS in November with the integrated cockpit, which was longer than my tiny arms could handle. Glad to see they have reverted back to a more traditional and adjustable setup. On the other hand, not as slick looking. Also, $500 more than the original un-discounted price for last year's model. What do you all think about these changes?
Do I need to accept a new fork in different Color because of a warranty/guarantee issue?
My six-month-old Canyon Endurace CF 7 AXS needs a new stem and a new fork because of a warranty/guarantee issue. However, the fork is only available in a different color now.
Do I have to accept that? Or would it be more reasonable to ask for a new frame as well so that the bike at least still matches visually?
If I ever want to sell the bike, it would be difficult with two different colors.
The strange part is that the bike is only six months old, but apparently the fork in my original color is already no longer available.
Thanks a lot!
Canyon size chart vs. Bike sizing advice from professional bike fitter.
Has anyone experienced going to a bike fitter and getting recommended a different size than Canyon’s own size chart?
I am 183 cm tall with an inseam of 83 cm, which puts me right in the middle of a Medium in Canyon’s sizing chart for the Endurace CF 7.
I went to a bike fitter who recommended a size Large instead, because he thinks a Medium would be too racy and aggressive in position given my expressed preference for long, comfortable rides.
This seems to go against both Canyon’s sizing and what I’ve seen from online recommendations, where Medium seems to be the standard choice for my height.
Has anyone had a similar experience where a fitter recommended going up a size like this? And if so, how did it work out in reality — did you stick with the fitter’s recommendation or go with Canyons recommended sizing?
Canyon roadlite 7 brake lines
First time poster. Just got the bike and everything seems in order but I have a question about the internal routing of the disc brake lines, particularly the left front brake. Is it supposed to be bending this much? As far as I can tell from other posts, if it is not kinked it should be ok. Should it be shortened?
Then I was sceptical about the gap between headset and head tube but it seems to be somewhat common. There is no wiggling here. Would you recommend to disassemble and reassemble?
Many thanks!
Can anyone help me fix this?
I just got a canyon endurace cf 7 in a size 2xs. When assembling the fork was really loose and when I finally got it tightened up there was still this space at the top. Do I need more spacers or is the bike assembled wrong? There’s currently four spacers on the bike (one large, two medium, and one really small). I took it to a bike store and he said I needed an extra spacer. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Help me choose
Hello! I am currently looking for a new bike. Road or endurance bike to be exact. I have the Endurace Allroad which i will be giving to my partner and Im looking for a bike that is comfortable in long rides hence the endurace and trek domane but I am also interested in the aeroad and trek madone since I want a dedicated road bike but im kinda skeptical about the comfort of it on long rides. Im deep in the hole and I can’t choose please help me 😅
Is there any chance that crash replacement could help me out?
I do not even know what to do. I would be glad if somebody could recommend me a different frame (different brand).
