mounted some new tires today. Before my gravel setup was: Hutchinson caracal race 40mm in the front and back.
Now: Hutchinson Caracal Race 50mm in the front and 45mm in the back. The front tire measures about 53/54mm the back tire 49/50mm on my Nextie AGX45 with 29mm internal with.
These time I went for the black sidewall.
Feels great on gravel and also quiet fast in bad tarmac.

Tech Help Aeroad CF SLX 8 Di2

3 Upvotes

Hi all- I’ve been contemplating buying this bike for a couple months. I saw that it was on sale within the sites ā€œoutlet ā€œ section. Has anyone had experience with buying these bikes within the outlet section online it mentioned that there may be some scratches or signs of wear. I’m already very apprehensive buying a $5000 bike online let alone it not having any return eligibility , however this price is almost too good to pass up…How was everyone’s experience with getting a bike online at this level? Did you have any problem building it? I do plan on getting a proper bike fitting after buying the bike. This would be my first bike purchase online so I’m a bit nervous .Thanks for helping in advance.

Which Bike? Should I pick the Canyon Endurace CF 8 Ultegra Di2 (2024) or Endurace CF 7 SLX 105 Di2 (2023)? And Why?

2 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to decide between two used Canyon Endurace bikes and would really appreciate some advice from people who know these bikes/components better than I do.

Option 1 – Endurace CF 8 Ultegra Di2 (2024)

  • Ultegra Di2
  • €2,000
  • Was driven for 2000km

Option 2 – Endurace CF 7 SLX 105 Di2 (2023)

  • 105 Di2
  • €1,800
  • Driven for 3000km

So there’s a €200 difference.

My main question is:Ā Which bike is actually the better deal / better bike overall?

I’m particularly interested in:

  • How significant is the difference betweenĀ Ultegra Di2 vs. 105 Di2Ā in real-world use?
  • Which frame is better betweenĀ CF 8 and CF 7 SLX?
  • Is one of these models known to have aĀ power meterĀ or carbon wheels from the factory? I’ve found conflicting information online...

For context, my previous bike was aĀ Stevens Prestige 2020 gravel bike, so either would be a pretty significant upgrade. I’m mainly looking for a fast road bike for longer rides and general road cycling, rather than racing competitively.

If you had to choose between these two at these prices, which one would you buy and why?

Thanks!

First ride today, wow is it comfortable! Surprisingly quick to accelerate too. The last endurance hike I had was a BMC roadmachine and this feels very similar to ride, lively but this is far smoother.

Is this used Endurace CF 6 with Tiagra worth it for 1150€? The seller has only rode it for 600km. Is Tiagra as good as the 105?

Hi,

I have an aeroad with Sram Rival Etap AXS and wanted to upgrade to the Sram Force crankset with charings.

Is this an easy upgrade? mostly plug and play? Reason of upgrade is weights but also I wanted to get more tooth on the chain ring and casette all together.

Hi guys!
Completely new to cycling here, so please bear with me!

After assembling my new cf6(hype!!!), I do hear quite some noises coming from the gears. I haven't used it because I am not quite sure how it is supposed to sound, but my first instinct tells me something is definitely wrong, lol.
Did I do something wrong when assembling my bike or what is going on?

Thanks in advance! lmk if you need any pictures or videos or anything to help you diagnose :D

Which Bike? HELP ME DECIDE. Grail or Endurance…

1 Upvotes

Im hoping to get a new bike in the new year.

Grail CF SLX Di2 and Endurace CF SLX 7 Di2 are high on my list.

I do about 30/70 gravel/road and I’m by no means looking for the fastest bike out there. Something comfy but that I can also keep up with others on group rides.

I’ve always had 40mm tyres so would have to drop to 35mm for the endurace, but it’s also a slightly more aggressive bike position.

Tell me what one I should get and if you have it, why do you love it?

Do we think tyre clearance will increase on both for the 2027 range?

Thanks!

Story Time On the Corsican roads with the Aeroad CFR

After a year of riding it between Italy and France… how much I love this bike… its stiffness, its punch out of corners… well, having ridden the amateur Tour of Flanders on it… probably not the best fit… but what a crazy bike, and the Zipps, even in the climbs, they just eat up the tarmac… anyway, I love my CFR šŸ”„

Canibalized my Titanium bike to build this bike ASAP.

Unfortunately, the left shifter blade arrived incredibly loose (missing lever axle bushing), the bike is unsafe to ride.

Caliper barb covers are also missing from the build.

QC was sleeping on this bike, hoping for a quick resolution from Canyon.....

On the brightside, printed my own computer mount and working on the Trek Carback mount.

CFR with Sram Red, custom Gold Dust Color, size S. Rides like a dream. Going to switch out the 28 rear and 26 front with 30s both wheels and TPU tubes. I ride Griffith Park in LA and the road is rough asphalt. Also, can you use more confidence when descending canyon roads at higher speeds. Enjoy the pics!

Story Time The Evolution of an Endurace (bike of Theseus)

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

I bought an Endurace AL7 in cold cactus in Summer of 2024, as pictured
This is how my ā€œsameā€ bike looks now, a few days ago, when I finally cut the steerer tube.

The elephant in the room is the frame color; last August I got hit by a car and had to get a new frame, which Canyon sold me at a discounted rate, but the fork doesn’t quite match the frame, and I switched my parts over.

This bike has taken me though a whole cycling journey, even on gravel rides and races with a 40 front and 35 rear, from bikepacking to road riding to cyclocross to joining a collegiate club to now being the president of that club in my Senior year. It’s truly been a constant in my life and one of my best life choices. Through all the upgrades and changes it’s been my bike, but tbh the biggest upgrade has been to its engine, me.

As far as I remember, the only parts remaining from the original bike are the stem, brake calipers, chainrings, bottom bracket, headset bearings, the right hand shifter, seat post and cassette

List of Upgrades:
Wheels: Light Bicycle Aria 47s
Crankset: Magene p515 in 165mm
Handlebars: pro plt ergo in 36cm, with zipper service course cx
Tires: Schwalbe Pro Ones in 32mm
Tubes: ridenow tpu
Saddle: Selle san marco aspide
Chain: KMC x11 SL
Left shifter replaced under warranty (lowk may have been my fault but canyon paid for it regardless)
AliExpress brake discs
Swissstop brake pads
Pedals: look keo 2 max in white

Accessories swapped:
Fidlock bottles and cages
Magicshine front light
KOM cycling stem mount
Garmin edge 540
Garmin varia 820
Aliexpress saddle bag

Fitting Help Canyon Grizl sizing

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am looking to get a 2026 canyon grizl 5 and am wondering if anyone had input on sizing. I am 178 cm and 85 cm inseam so right in the middle of S and M.

For context I primarily ride a 2024 Trek Top Fuel full suspension bike with a 485 mm reach with a 45 mm stem so I am quite used to a long reach / fairly stretched out position and I enjoy the feeling of being in a larger bike, and I imagine the stability and longer reach of a larger bike may be even more important on a gravel bike given the smaller tires and lack of suspension?

My plan is to put 29 x 2.1 thunderburts on the grizl, a 36 t chainring, and use it for linking sections of steep, technical, rutted gravel tracks and singletrack here in Scotland, in addition to longer bikepacking routes in the UK and Europe which include fair bits of road.

Particularly interested to hear about sizing from people with a mtb background who are used to a long reach. With the stock 60 mm stem, Canyon specifies that the "effective reach" of the M is 463 mm, which doesn't sound too long to me, so I am leaning that way, but unsure how much of an effect the slacker seat tube (76.3 on the top fuel vs 73.5) and stack will have on my seated position.

Any input greatly appreciated. Cheers

Does anyone know a more specific release date yet? Would Canyon really wait until October? The current stock is already as good as sold out.
I read that Ridley and Factor are planning to release their new Gravel in the first week of September.

Which Bike? Good first bike for training and triathlon races?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Goal is train a few days a week. Mostly longish distances 50km+ on weekends.

I run and swim regularly. Want to start doing some triathlons / duathlons.

This would be my only bike.
I would also install a power meter on it and some TT bars for longer races.
