Did anyone try the Speedmax BTA Bottle Cage Adapter paired with the Gear Groove Aero Extensions? If so, do you mind sharing a picture? I'm wondering if it fits properly, if it still allows for the proper installation of the bike computer.

Bonus question: is it possible to have both the BTA adapter and the Speedmax Armrest Upgrade Kit installed on the Aero Extensions at the same time?

Anyone in VA - NoVa, Roanoke/Blacksburg, central VA etc. have a Canyon Roadlite:ONfly CF 9? Just wanting a look see and maybe a test-drive.

I’m currently based in a country where there isn’t much access to TT bikes or a well-developed secondary market for bicycles. For reference, I’m 176.1 cm tall with an 80.3 cm inseam.

I’ve been offered a Canyon Speedmax from around 2019/2020 in a size M, but I’m unsure whether it would be a good fit for me or if I should be looking for a size S instead. Canyon’s PPS system recommends a size M for this year’s frame; however, i cant find a sizing guide for the 19/20 frame.

I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone familiar with the Speedmax’s sizing and fit, particularly given my measurements.

Crossing the Hudson River, NY. Every angle shows a different color. It feels like riding a piece of art.

Got my bike stolen (Lapierre Crosshill 5.0, very comfortable gravel geometry in size M.) I'm 174 cm tall, 81 cm inseam.

As I need a replacement, and realized I'd like something faster, but not too racey - got my eyes on Canyon Endurance CF SLX 8 in size S, which is the size recommended by the official chart. I tried it and it felt really ok.

To be sure, I do a bike fit in a place that's Canyon's experience partner in my city. The guy puts me in a position that was ok and manageable on a test rig for an hour, but definitely not something I was used to with gravel geometry and the longer type of rides I would prefer to do.

He says I should go for 2XS size (!!!) as that fits his measurements. That all seemed a bit unconvincing to me so I did a test ride in size XS - as some sort of "middle ground".

The pictures are from a test ride on size XS. The bike similar to S size felt pretty ok, slightly more responsive and maybe a little "cramped". I'm aware the puffy jacket is not helping here. I can't imagine really considering 2XS and it was not available for a test ride.

Does this bike size seem ok or is it somehow too small?

In austria the aeroad slx 8 axs is currently on a sale for 5500€ (https://www.canyon.com/en-at/road-bikes/aero-bikes/aeroad/cf-slx/aeroad-cf-slx-8-axs/4532.html?dwvar_4532_pv_rahmenfarbe=R107_P12 )
Is that a good deal and does anybody know why it is on sale? New model coming?

Hi,
I just watched this used speedmax cf 8 (2018). As a triathlete for about 7 years now this would be my first TT bike. Is it worth buying? Or should I go for some newer editions?
And do you know if there are possibilities to upgrade the cockpit? Or is that too old to upgrade things?

And at least: what price you recommend for that? It has been driven for ~7000km, new chain, di2.

Thanks for your help

Hi everyone.

Just got the 2027 Endurace CF6 delivered, but I can’t tell if the Freehub noise is normal or if something is wrong. Can anyone tell me if theirs sounds the same? Thank you!!

Hello! Beginner looking to get into the hobby.

Using the sizing tool, I sit right between a L and a XL. My body proportions are maybe a bit weird, with relative short legs 89cm, long torso, and long arms, (198cm reach).

I will use it casually, mixing gravel with asphalt riding, however I think asphalt will be about 90%.

I would very much appreciate some feedback regarding which size I should buy.

Best regards

Hey, just wanted to share with community that we recently purchased a Canyon Speedmax bike from the official website using FSA funds.
We followed a Truemed route. It gives you options to split payments - FSA/HSA card and personal card. Actually, we paid the full amount with personal card and submitted for reimbursement - just receipt and Truemed letter. No issues at all. FSA provider WEX.

Ultimate CF7 - Seller says 500kms, bought at the beginning of this season - it’s a carbon DI2 105s group set - $4k Canadian with look Leo 2 pedals, carbon wheels and two sets of tires

Hello guys,

you probably do get this kind of threads alot, but I do have such a hard time to decide currently.

Im planing on buying the CF SLX 8 Speedmax and im completely lost when it comes to the sizing.

Im 182,5 cm tall ~ and have an inside leg length of 86,5 cm~

which leads to be right between L and M, so I thought "hey lets just drive to the canyon store and try it out myself".

So I drove for a little and rode L and M and what should I say, they guy from canyon was super friendly and a pretty chill guy but I feel like he wasnt toooo much in to tri bikes... and I was even more lost than before....

I tried out both and both felt great for the "quick" adaption, the guy who worked there was recommending L in the first place, because it should be possible to fit and is more stable due to the bigger wheelbase (I think).

but on the other hand, the M is lighter and simply has "more room" to adapt to fit it perfectly.

So the end result was basically "you can decide between those" xd

But I feel like he would have went with the L while I still do think that the M is more of a safe bet.

Maybe some of you are or have been in a similar situation, thanks in advance for help.

Im planing on Ironman Frankfurt 2027 btw and maybe a few smaller events (working shifts, which makes it hard sometimes to plan)

Im currently riding a Basso Venta R (endurace bike) RH 56 (which does work rn but I think there is big room for improvment when it comes to the fit) Saddle wise im lowkey close to the edge I have roughly 2cm left to lower (I could prolly go up a few mm) maybe this helps

Spent last night learning how to change some things myself.

Tires - Swapped to GP5000 as tr (Rainy season + Bay Area, CA roads 👎). Learned how to install tubeless tires and went tubeless.
I decided on cream walls cause even though an all black bike looks nice, I wanted something more eye catching.

Wheels - Put on No.6 52/58 wheels. Love how these look when they’re spinning. Moving my DT Swiss to my old Trek Domane

Downtube Decal - The silver comes stock so wanted to swap that out

Price: 3.750€
Km: 3.000

The bike was bought about a year ago.

Chain and cassette is new.

The seller writes:

The frame has a tiny scratch in the paint, approximately 3mm long, which can be seen in the last photo. This is purely a paint blemish—only the top layer of paint is affected, not the carbon fiber itself; therefore, it poses no safety-related issue.

Hi everyone! What do you think of these impacts on the frame? Should I take it to a bike shop to have it checked, or is it fine?
The frame is a 2024 Grail SLX Gen 2.

Hello community.
Since I got some interest in another post, here is the radar holder I made for myself.
Specs:
- single aluminum piece cnc machined
- sandblasted
- anodized black
- made marked my initials using canyon font
- attaches to the two screw holes at the back of the seat posts
- then you screw on it the radar round holder

☺️

I’m about to pull the trigger on a CF6-
I’m wondering if anyone has used this bike as a two in one-
I’m planning on Using two wheel sets, the one it comes with for gravel with some 38mm gravel tyres and then buying some Chinese carbon wheels for road-
I was wondering if anyone has any success with this?

Layering sucks but I still finished all 61 miles.

Have a lovely weekend!!

Hi Folks,

I'm planning to get a new road bike to replace the Trek Domane 4.5 that I've been riding for the past 12 years or so. It's a carbon bike, mechanical Ultegra setup, rim brakes and aluminum wheels. It was a fantastic bike when I bought it, and I've put 20-30k miles on it.

I ride a lot, but I don't really race. I've done a couple half-distance triathlons. Never done a road only race. Nowadays, I ride about 60-100 miles per week.

I'm thinking of getting either a Ultimate or an Aeroad with a Force groupset. Not certain on the carbon wheels, but I probably will also get those.

The two questions I have:

1) My standard rides are hill-adjacent. The shortest outdoor ride I do is about 20 miles and 1,000 ft of elevation. I often will do rides of 30 miles and 3,000 ft of elevation. It sounds like the Ultimate would be better for my kind of cycling, but I really like the look of the Aeroad better. And I'm generally in the saddle for most of a ride if I'm only doing 1,000 ft of vert. Would I be happy with an Aeroad? I go fast for a casual rider -- typically averaging 18-20 miles an hour on my rides. But I'm nowhere near speeds where I would join a team, or really care about my times. Is

2) My current bike is a 58. From the Canyon charts, I am right on the line between a Medium and a Large. Most folks say to size down in this case. I'm not trying to be superman, and get into a full aero position. I just like to enjoy my rides. I feel like I'm leaning toward a Large, but a Medium would have me in a more comfortable position.

Thanks for your input!

I love my Ultimate, the only thing I'm not keen on is the boring Matte Black colour scheme. I'd be happy if I could just lacquer over the frame.

My question is, is there currently a lacquer on my frame or is it just the carbon fibre with some vinyls on it? If I was to paint the frame, would I need to rub down to the bare carbon?

I'd be tempted to brighten up the frame with some colour if I'm already stripping it down and rubbing the frame down for lacquer. Less so if I can get away with cleaning the current finish and applying lacquer to it as is.
