DieselnDust Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 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... 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. This one isn't as clear cut as the seatpost or aerotuck failures
Jbr Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Mathieu never skips arms dayhahaha ! I really hope no world tour mechanic tightens stuff on carbon bars without a torque wrench though...
Pure Savage Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 First the top tube now the handlebar... 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.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 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.

DieselnDust Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 So it turns out Canyon uses their own band clamp to attach the shifters to the handlebar. And it appears its a complete poultry on a barn roof...
