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!

DieselnDust Posted March 3, 2021 Share Toptube aerotuck debacleSeatpost 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 pointSome 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 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/178350-canyon-aeroad-read-if-you-planning-on-purchasing-one/page/36/#findComment-3775018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how this plays out. it could be a bad bar, t could be a bad design (Canyon building a reputation for this) it could be poor installation or it could be due to damage incurred during transport from the UAE.

Eish... https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/mathieu-van-der-poel-hamstrung-by-broken-handlebars-in-le-samyn-finale/How Canyon had wished the marketing department had not splashed a massive logo on the bars in white. Coming from a company that acknowledges that the design things to give world pros the edge to win and that things may break from time to time, not surprising.

'Dale Posted March 3, 2021 Share hahaha ! I really hope no world tour mechanic tightens stuff on carbon bars without a torque wrench though...I’d be very surprised, ja. What I like about Canyon is the innovation like the adjustable bars. Their testing is solid. Ze Germans can engineer. Fortunately, Mathieu did not crash as a result of the tech failure. That would’ve been hectic for the brand and they’re already getting knocked.
