DieselnDust Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 wonder if MVDP will be riding an Ultimate this weekend? aero being everything these days? switching back to the older model aeroroad I believe. Hope he doesn't aerotuck it
Patchelicious Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 depending on group and wheels from around R105k to R220KSo this Canyon with SR EPS and Bora Ones is still pretty good compared to the competition?
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Daai Kanon looks blerrie mooi - does it come in black?

shaper Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Now conjecture is the failure was caused by hitting a car at KBK race https://road.cc/content/tech-news/canyon-tells-aeroad-owners-stop-riding-their-bikes-281459
Eldron Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 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... Interesting video - especially the part around chamfered edges and the <90 degree angle they work at. Given that MVDP's bar broke below AND above the clamp the issue points in that direction (whether overtorque or design). It is a pity - I really like the pinned Canyon clamp that you don't have to slide in like SRAM/Shimano. The pin position and the female thread might well have been the problem though. It's always interesting reinventing the wheel!!!
lechatnoir Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 It's always interesting reinventing the wheel!!! The leading edge is the bleeding edge. The guy who discovered fire must have had a hell of a time...
Pure Savage Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Could they not just run a proper fork/steerer/handlebar combo?
J∆kk∆ls Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Could they not just run a proper fork/steerer/handlebar combo?But you would still be sitting on a Canyon frame. I would rather ride a Bianchi Alloy Lite with quality components than buy from Canyon. Nothing beats the manufacturing history of 150 years!!!
OVERDRIVE Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 depending on group and wheels from around R105k to R220KAnd the handlebars don't snap...

mecheng89 Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 So I couldn't spot which model MVDP and his lackies were riding on yesterday because he was just a blue blur. Nuclear attack at the end.
