Canyon Spectral 29 Dream MTB Build.
My all Time favourite bike to ride at home. This thing is so playful and snappy.

Can't go wrong with a dream build video on a Sunday. 🤙

[@ridemx323]

That torque on the cranks 🫣. I wanna see that full bleed process. Everyone does it different for sram brakes.

[@LikeAStickOfDynamite]

I've been running a 2022 Spectral CF9 since November. It's heaven!

[@MikaHakkinen83]

Do you like it on easier, tighter trails? How is it to pedal uphill?

[@LikeAStickOfDynamite]

@@MikaHakkinen83 yep, love it for all trails. I came from a 2020 Giant Advanced Pro 29 0. That was 130/115 travel, and I was worried about the climbing on the 160/150 Spectral. But I honestly have zero regrets, I'm really happy with the bike.

[@MikaHakkinen83]

@@LikeAStickOfDynamite great to hear, appreciate it. Been thinking of these short suspension bikes too - Giant, Transition Spur, Neuron etc but we have a lot of roots and I read Spectral's rear suspension works great on chattery trails. Kinda flat here but short ups and downs and a lot of chatter and tight turns. Have a Spectral CFR on order, was 5800€ on BF discount. Full XTR and Factory with DTS XMC1200's, should be fast to sprint too. Not a race/downhill rider but like to ride longer trails and be outside and in the nature.

[@captainzinner6943]

1:21 that's quite a familiar sound - surprised to hear it in a bike build video ^^

[@MikaHakkinen83]

:D

[@Dash41198]

Silky smooth Spectral FTW!

[@topchoice1621]

Can’t wait to get mine

[@danzbjj]

good to see even the ews champ gets plastic spacers - can suffer with the rest of us.

[@k-dog495]

How long until Jack complains about the creaking do you think?

[@MrSupermugen]

@@k-dog495 hes not sponsored by cane creak or ritchey, what will he do lol

[@qcTOOL]

Lol Love my Spectral mullet, but think their plastic spacer setup is not a good move too!

[@jiajianhou426]

Wish canyon would sell this exact setup!

[@usernamwdrama]

Super clean looking steed, can you please tell me the travel of the Pike, have a good year Jack. Oh, trippy music, love it.

[@joeorisit]

Dude that frame is sick 👌

[@barneymarbles179]

Wanna-be race machenik here, that was suuuuper interesting. Thanks

[@superawesomefuntimego]

Love my Spectral 29! Totally surprised you do not have a Lyrik instead of that Pike with how hard and fast you ride Jack.

[@rickgreenhalgh1357]

I was thinking the same, must be for more of a trail bike feel.

[@HaveFunBikes]

@@rickgreenhalgh1357 the weird part is that the new pike comes up to 140mm, while the spectral has 150mm.

[@granthickman_mtb]

@@HaveFunBikes it comes with up to 150 mm of travel

[@granthickman_mtb]

@@HaveFunBikes or at least that year did, I don't know about the new one though.

[@MikaHakkinen83]

SuperAwesome What kind of trails do you ride it on? Myself kinda short ups and downs here with tight turns and a lot of roots. Also winter riding. Not an enduro or downhill rider but we have a trail center which I will try when I get the bike. Have a Spectral CFR on order.

[@dashadventure8609]

Big Ricky Boyer iv had my bike in that garage!

[@__marshie]

Needs a Yellow Number plate on the front now!

[@matthewkelly4107]

Yep, looks ready

[@ChrisKim-eo9ku]

Trying a different tyre combo for this one Jack? Or is it for Steveoo when he borrows it 😜 Loving the colours!

[@mohrusc]

Muc off sealant, sram breaks, centerlock hubs with 6-holes rotors...all things i'd do differently. That said, what a wonderful machine!

[@hobmarg]

0:45 is cameraman or mechanic laughing at the glove snap audio? Too good. "Just bend over and relax"

[@bencowling2144]

Such a sick build jack

[@hambo76]

I hope we see this for sale on Rotorburn in a year's time ;)

[@TheFullKanani]

Very cool bike. I think Kev runs a ZEB on his race rig though ha ha.

[@jeehoonjones1389]

MOIMOI!!!!

[@alessandromv7566]

Nice video. Just for info: upper headset compression ring, is aluminum custom made?

[@bernt5301]

mate that music terrifies me :( haha

[@olly7571]

That looks mega! 😎🤘👏

[@NathanEide]

She's a beaut Kev.

[@Puddinghead]

That soundtrack was as stressful as f*ck

[@lpak78]

Jack when do you do an Oprah and give us all a bike at the end of the vid mate !!

[@Otway_og]

Sorry this is so late but I’m just building one of these up.. what is this headset compression ring? How do I find one?

[@Jay-sw2ks]

This music gave me anxiety

[@charliepaul4612]

Nice bike donny

[@wilsimon]

There are center-lock rotors from SRAM, you know.

[@richardoates4335]

Sick build, I wonder which loose chook will be riding this rig?

[@jacobeleven77]

What grease is that? The blue and tacky one?

[@mickandtachgrieve]

Is this being built for Stevo’s birthday? It’d match his jersey perfectly🥳

[@clivem25]

Curious if you know whether Canyon saw an uptick in Oz sales after your amazing year last year?

[@jane.3433]

Nice bike, but this is the most hectic dream build (video cut) I ever saw. Did you have a time limit for the clip or is this serial production?

[@leonunes9788]

Thanks for the vid. Greasing the carbon head tube - I though this is a no-no as it softens the carbon layers? Surprised torque wrench not used everywhere. The bikes I see you on other videos has an extra cable on the left handside - what is it for please? Cheers

[@imjansd]

It's ok, as long as you use carbon safe grease (they usually don"t have petroleum derivates in them), Muc-Off Biogrease for example.

[@bigalsbash]

What's the point using a torque wrench if it clicks then you give it some more for good measure ? 1:41, in fact it looks like it is already past the torque setting because it clicks before it even turns, then he gives it some more 💪💪.

[@aidendxons7928]

In France 1 day Newcastle the next!!!😂

[@Psilocybiant]

That bike looks almost identical to my Polygon Sisku T8 2022

[@richo3376]

Jeez there’s a lot of pro race mechanics here in the comments..

[@Ganiscol]

Good on Canyon for the BSA bottom bracket! But he did not line up these ridiculous valve-core-tool-shaped valve caps on the otherwise good DT Swiss tubeless valves! Jack, that costs you aerodynamic efficiency! These are like tiny little airbrakes spinning round and round and round a gazillion times during a season - it adds up! 😉

[@yarkmates3409]

P.s this isn’t his race rig , pretty sure he uses the strive

[@gheatai]

Ken not running the new strive?

[@franksey_]

Is this a custom frame or does it just have decal stickers over canyon logo

[@mortensvendsen7955]

It is the new pike 2023 with only 140mm ?

[@Nick-pq6ij]

Yeah, the info I've seen indicates max 140mm...

[@GRIND_AND_GROW]

HEY ALL THE BOIS FROM SPCC WHO R GONNA SEE THIS!

[@mrinferno4876]

Bullet 🤙

[@_rikydago_]

😍🔥🔥🔥

[@ethandot]

Is stevo buying the green one?

[@bigalsbash]

Hear the torque wrench click then give it some more 😒

[@matty6804]

So you are done with the Strive ? :(

[@sebr5537]

Why bother with a torque wrench if you are going to continue an eighth of a turn after the click.

[@MikaHakkinen83]

Just to make sure ;)

[@beerbikesbarbells]

At 7:26, that white plastic piece that's in between the eagle gear and the jockey wheel on the derailleur...can anyone tell me what that's for? My Spectral came with one too but I have no idea what it is lol.

[@jamlee344]

Sram B gap tool.

[@oppje6188]

What. size do you run in the speccy?

[@MikaHakkinen83]

He runs smaller size. Think it’s M

[@BockaufBiken]

Won´t a Pike up front be a bit flimsy for a tall and fast guy like Kev? Anyways, nothing compares to a dream mtb build!

[@ayjay05]

Same chassis as a lyrik

[@MikaHakkinen83]

He’s smooth

[@FalcoBikes]

6'3" rider on size M?

[@sebastiandopke3559]

will you be able to buy this from canyon like Fabios custom bikes?

[@TheTommaso97]

check on Canyon’s website, but I guess it’s not possible

[@mattskewes]

I really should not watch shit like this. Insane froth 🤯 Dream bike right there 🤘

[@kolikjun]

Why using a Pike instead of Lyrik? I have noticed that in many of your videos Jack

[@MrSupermugen]

i believe he runs his spectral at 150?

[@Nick-pq6ij]

@@MrSupermugen new Pike is 140mm...

[@MrSupermugen]

@@Nick-pq6ij fair but why would he run 140 on the normal 150 spectral frame?

[@sandy_knight]

I want to know who does Rick's nails. I'm guessing he has a daughter?

[@azizkurnian7547]

[@MrSupermugen]

Ahhh, nothing like the dust cover of the headset rubbing the frame... such a poor design.

[@alexp33]

Too much froff

[@th_js]

Oh no, I was hoping for an actual build video, not this asmr crap, sorry, really like your other videos.. But this, have to give it a dislike.

[@VoxeeMedia]

There is a difference between asmr And sound design/ fooley. Not the same mate
