Pure Savage Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Looks like you skipped a couple of meals. When in JHB next, we will go for some steak and chips, and a couple (read: a lot) of beer... Sounds like a plan! Next time I am in Jozi will do!
Velouria Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I'm busy watching the Vuelta, and I have to call bull ****. Those pros are definitely sitting on their top tubes: Clearly, the bikes to buy if you like tube squatting are:CannondaleBMCArgon18

Maybe the data goes into improved product maybe not. So many compromises in such a simple structure. Solution is simple; don't super tuck. It's got that "don't try this at home or on your local club ride" feeling

Eddy Gordo Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Shew, 21 pages and I only see this now. Tough ond op. I was also interested in canyon but mtb a few months back, until I saw that they have usage restrictions for the different mtb models. This makes no sense to me and I decided to look at something else.I hope you bike is insured. Claim for a new frame from insurance and buy something else.
DieselnDust Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 All mth's have usage restrictions. Have you read Speciaiized or cannondale or Giant or swift or Momsen or Pyga or..... Or.... Or... It's standard terms and conditions of the warranty. If you read some companies t&c you may not want to ride your bike at all!

Can anyone confirm to what extent?
Pure Savage Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I guess we know who's not getting warranty replacementsMaybe they happy their top tubes are made properly ????
eddy Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 It's clearly an engineering decision they made and everything's a compromise somehow trying to balance lightness and strength.Correct. The design requirements of a toptube and a seat tube are very different. Expecting that a TT will perform the same function as a ST ( except without the benefit of a railed saddle to assist in spreading the load) is ultimately unreasonable. If TT sitting becomes the norm, expect similar threads on a variety of brands.
karma Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Maybe they happy their top tubes are made properly or they're not fatty 86kg riders... (sorry OP)
Jase619 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 fair reply and I think you've made the point you set out to , don't know why the hub is being so extra dickish this week but alas go get another bike and ride till you feel better cause I can asssure you Canyon don't give A rats arse Only this week
VicanZA Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 When I was a kid, I would have my GF sit on the handle bars and give her a lift home, never had one of those brake. Buttons have u tried the GF test on this canyon?

Thor Buttox Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 This thread has taught me not to load carbon excessively if you are prone to carbo load excessively. Lesson learnt.
