Bought this stock S-works Epic Evo in October 2021. Since then I’ve upgraded the groupset to Eagle AXS, dropper Reverb AXS, saddle to S-works power saddle, stem to Extralite Hyperstem, bars to Reverse Tracer XC and added time gold colour ti bolts to seatpost clamp, seatpost clamp, brake clamps and bleed port. Sorry it’s a bit dirty!

My Canyon Speedmax CF 8.0 LTD and Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 8.0

No stress! In hindsight I should have hung onto mine but didn't have the space.

Thanks, I have one of my own and the reason I ask is that Im needing to box and ship it and would love to use an original Canyon box with all the padding that comes with it. You didn't keep your box perhaps?

No one else bought a Canyon yet?

That's my next option but if you see all the beautiful work that goes into packaging a Canyon you'll know why I'm asking. there are velcro'ed pads for handlebars, seatpost, front wheel etc that means i can keep everything nice and safe but not have to dismantle the whole bike.

Is anyone in the Cape expecting a bike in the next week or two? I'd like to take the box of your hands as I need to send my Canyon to the States.

What light are you running on your handlebars? I'm struggling to find one that fits the shape of the bars.

Hey Guys, if anyone in cape town brings in a full bike please could i take the box and protective packaging off your hands. I'm moving overseas and id like to package my bike how it arrived here.

I think we should organise a Canyon ride ;-)

Molteno Road in Gardens, 1.1km at over 12%.

I haven't actually but its at the LBS now so I'll ask them to weigh it.

Nope I really didn't like Antares that came on the bike so put my power saddle back on. I prefer the shorter nose.

Thought I'd share my updated Canyon CF Ultimate SLX. I sold the Mavic Cosmic Carbon Pro and bought HED Ardennes Black with Vittoria Corsa G+.

New wheels day for my Canyon CF Ultimate SLX: -HED Ardennes Black thanks to Raoul at privateer.co.za -Vittoria Corsa G+ Graphene 25mm tyres from cwcycles.co.za

I don't even ride a motorbike but geez that is super cool!

If anyone decides to buy a Canyon please please would you let me know! I'd like to buy a Garmin mount for my Canyon H36 bars but $65 shipping on a $35 part seems a bit much. I'd really appreciate if someone would let me slip on into an order they are placing. Would obviously compensate you for it.

PMéd you

Nope that's right! You will pay in USD. They don't give prices in rand so you will not be able to get an exact rand amount until you've actually paid and the funds go off your account. I bought at R11.80 to the $ and after bank fees it was more like R12.05 to the $.

so I actually watched a video on GCN about the Canyon factory and how they manufacture. They don't build the frames as orders come in but rather have production runs of various models. I would probably say based on how efficient they are at getting orders out these estimates are guidelines that they most probably revise shorter with the estimates being the maximum time. i agree best would be to contact them directly.

The Canyon website has a great tool that allows you to enter all your measurements and then spits out the recommended frame. Its pretty good because I once entered my inseam wrong and based on my height the website said either I have really short legs or I did something wrong so I went back a remeasured and sure enough i had done something wrong. I'm having the bike setup tomorrow so i will reply if it comes back that i got the wrong size but based on the website i got the same size as i normally ride.

Whatever you do don’t buy a Canyon! 4 days from placing the order to it arriving on my doorstep. 20 minutes to put it together. Amazing build and specs for the price, even with import duty and VAT. Looks killer! So yeah...definitely don’t buy one... ????

Shiiiiiiiat....thats nice!

Does anyone know if there is a Microshift agent in SA still? I am in seeeeeerious need of Shimano 11 speed compatible bar end (TT) shifters for next weeks 70.3 race in Durban. I've ordered some Dura Ace shifters online from overseas as the local agent had none but I'm starting to stress they wont arrive in time. I've looked and Microshift make a compatible version I'm willing to try.

I think this is a joke....look at what day they "announce" it on. Also not one pro has worn these in any of the big races so far that ive seen. Surely Oakley would have it on the faces of all its riders like with the Jawbreaker...
