I really like SRAM on the gravel bike as the brake levers only move in a linear motion, so if things are getting loose and jiggly, you can keep your finger on the trigger without worrying about shifting gears or the brake lever getting away from you. I have experienced fewer issues with SRAM than Shimano ....???? DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would like to know what the price tag is... but maybe I will rather look at the Canyon gravel bike... but I believe exports to SA suspended !

If you ask enough people, you will find people who have had issues with pretty much anything. I have owned a stack of bikes, using both SRAM and shimano. Avid brakes were terrible, initial SRAM road double tap was clumsy, Shimano then went wiffy with a wandering bite point on their brakes with seals around the lever piston being made of cheese. The reverse pressure RD was rubbish..... I have a list of gripes a mile long for both companies. In saying all that, actual product failure outside of crash damage has eluded me over hundreds of thousand of km 1 hour ago, jackievs said: Yes I would like to know what the price tag is... but maybe I will rather look at the Canyon gravel bike... but I believe exports to SA suspended ! I would suggest you read the thread relating to this if you are genuinely interested. It explains exactly how Canyon in SA will now be run and by whom.

RocknRolla Posted August 30, 2021 Share One can see by the dual bottle cage mounts that this is a brilliant bike. Sid the Sloth and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is a reference to the crazy conditions... Snow, hectic peanut butter mud and river crossing combined with some treacherous descents at the best of times.

A few guys had brake issues at the Ceder, I am not sure if it was cable disc issues or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in this, I don't know nor do I care, but the thread has ALL the information that will shed light on your misinformation re Canyon no longer being imported to SA. ????
