Bateleur1 Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 So what would your opinion be on this bike https://www.canyon.com/en/road/ultimate/ultimate-cf-sl-8-0.html?search=1&q=ULTIMATE+CF+SL+8.0 Since I found out about the bike leasing agreement our company will introduce shortly to replace my public transport ticket on my salary, I am contemplating pulling the trigger on this one.
Schnavel Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Nothing wrong with that! Maybe get one with discs if you are commuting?

But why not the disc one? https://www.canyon.com/en-za/road/ultimate/2018/ultimate-cf-sl-disc-8-0.html
Bateleur1 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 Nothing wrong with that! Maybe get one with discs if you are commuting? Have the MTB for the bad weather commuting. I am still on the fence about disk brakes on a Road Bike.

Will be a couple of weeks before order (assuming the financials pan out as planned)
Lurch the stalker Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 I'm going to hate you if you buy a Canyon.
Bateleur1 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 I'm going to hate you if you buy a Canyon. I think my wife hates me more at the moment when I mentioned I might be buying a new bike soon.

Patchelicious Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Ok, let's open this up for a disc-ussion... I think that horrendous punny is going too cause more damage than the most serrated discs ever could!
Bateleur1 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 Lets just put it down to a bad experience that almost ended badly for me with disks and the Alps.
Eugene Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Have the MTB for the bad weather commuting. I am still on the fence about disk brakes on a Road Bike. I thought I was the only one who doesn't want discs. Sadly, I hate to admit it, but rim brake bikes will be obsolete soon.
V12man Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Have the MTB for the bad weather commuting. I am still on the fence about disk brakes on a Road Bike. Don't be - they are better in every respect: ModulationWet weather brakingLong decentsRim longevity and resistance to damageetc etc...
