Your particular brand of god will likely void your warranty if he/she/it sees you doing that. Read the fine print of life, you are not supposed to use your body like that, it fall outside “normal use”!

I pulled the trigger on an Aeroad and rode it for the first time today. Absolutely love it so far.

 

Does anyone know of any Garmin mounts sold locally or can I only get the proprietary one off the site? I forgot to order it with the bike. Maybe even a 3D printer file or something?

That stealth look is quite attractive, isn't it?   That seat angle makes my wrists hurt though

Very nice looking bike.

 

I was warned to buy a mount with the bike.

 

You can get them elsewhere (Amazon, here, etc), and with a bit of googling, you can find 3d printer files too (here)

Haha thanks, I am taking shots about the seat angle. I've ridden with that angle for years.

Thank you very much!

 

I managed to source locally as well from Techno Guide in Stellies, they responded to a Facebook message, so I think I am sorted.

The detail of the redesign is sketchy (pun intended) so let's see how that works out but at face value it looks to rely solely on the rubber plug to work making it a wear item...

notggood either.

 

Other people problems

Hopefully the redesign will feature a thinner seat wedge and a thicker seat post (at the bottom). It'll remove some of the flex/comfort but help solve the problem.

 

Side note: In most of the Aeroads I built the wedge had come loose and fallen into the frame. Fishing it out of the BB was the easy part - getting the wedge lined up so you can screw in the bolt from the outside not so much!

Also a good thing the super tuck got banned . They won’t have to worry about too tube warranty claims anymore

When the UCI said the consulted with the bike industry, they just took a phone call from Canyon Warranty department.

Toptube aerotuck debacle

Seatpost debacle

 

handlebar breaks and everyone jumps to justified conclusion that its Canyon poor quality...

Yet its not uncommon for the bars to delaminate and break at this point. Why?

Some bars have the upper flat section bonded to the lower drops at this point

Some people/mechanics overtighten the shifter clamp band crushing the laminate at this point.

 

Highly unfortunate that this is now so  publicly displayed on a Canyon. lets not discount the MVDP power factor....the okes a beast

if it's just one bar it doesn"t mean anything. if there are more it could be bad

 

but it could very well be a matter of over tightening the shifters seing where it broke...
