andTutin cant really tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. Canyon just doesnt work like a traditional bike brand. They ensure the lowest prices on top tier bikes by selling them straight to you instead of filling bike dealerships with demo’s. This saves them a lot of money, so they have more possibilities to put money into social media coverage (giving/lending bikes to people like GCN & paying them for it).

Make pictures of the state you receive your package & the state you sent it out: if there are problems you want to have proof. (I had a frame ordered once that was supposed to come with ‘some paint damage’. Turns out, that the metal bottom bracket lug where the press fit should go in, wasn’t there. I didn’t know it had to be there and found out years after battling with bottom bracket play and creaking after which the supplier claimed I had removed it myself.)

Clicking a torque wrench in fixings you have already done up isn't 'checking the torque'. It might be checking it is done up to at least the torque but without loosening and re-tightening it won't find an over torqued fixing.

Quick tip: If you have a Canyon, be sure to contact them to purchase a spare derailleur hanger and rear thru-axle. They use their own proprietary parts, and there presently are no compatible aftermarket pieces for those components. Already ran into that when a customer brought one into our shop with a cross-threaded thru-axle. I have no idea how he did that, but some people just have no business turning a wrench on anything. Also, no matter what they tell you on the website or the box, the bike needs a tune up. They always do.

@PaulGM
@PaulGM 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Barney - yes it is. I got the CF SL 8 GRX Di2 (that’s quite a mouthful). Only been out on it twice so far, but absolutely love it. The double-decker bars work really well to absorb vibration and are really comfortable, and the split seatpost also does a great job. It rides surprisingly well on roads too. My biggest worry was that there is basically no adjustment on the bars - my road bike has a long stem and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to replicate the reach on the Grail. In reality, no problem at all, I’ve been able to reproduce the geometry really well. I spent a long time trying to decide which gravel bike to go for and the Canyon offered by far the best value for what you get. If I were you, go for it! 😁😁

Completely rebuild it Then it will be serviceable for 30 years and then it will be easy to rebuild it again. My friend a professional mechanic was working on a Canndale I built 30 years ago telling me what a joy it was to rebuild a bike that 100% correct including the grease and various lubricants.. He was also 100% that I built it.. He had come over to the park were I've been staying for a couple of weeks. Iwas very pleased to hear that. These Cannondales were a God send early in my career because I learned how to build a bike correctly due to necessity. They came to the bike shop in two boxes. One box with a Completely bare frame and bare fork . The other box had everything else. Put the correct grease in the hubs to that way the hubs were correctly adjusted. Never needed a torc wrench until I met carbon fiber better use one with that stuff or pay dearly and hope it's only paper dollars. Strange that I'm unemployed and those guys that slap bikes together are still working. notice the word mechanic in omitted. Just can't put 100$ labor(200$ with the overhead)into a new bike anymore. Most people are going to purchase it somewhere else.😢 . He knew because it still had " my grease in it" after 30 years. They all know

I own three bikes with different crank lengths and find I'm able to keep my seat height consistent by running the same pedals on all three bikes and measuring from the pedal (at the bottom position) to the top of the seat, aligning the measuring tape with the seat tube. Maybe not the prescribed method, but it works for me.

Best to apply seat post lube on the inside of the seat tube rather than the seat post as when you put in the seat post it pushes the lube off of the seat post. Best practice to apply to both.

So I've just assembled my new Canyon: Grand Canyon bike and instead of 20mins, it took me a whole afternoon 😂 (it's my first serious bike, and I've never assembled one before). I had to repair a cable that I managed to tear and also pulled the front brakes without the wheel in place so I had to fix that too, but at the end of the day it's finally finished and I've also learnt quite a lot about bike maintenance, so I'm happy I guess. Oh and I didn't know about bikes not coming with pedals out of the box, so I still couldn't take my bike for its first ride because I had to order a pair of pedals after unboxing the bike 😂

I have not bought a bike that's direct-to-consumer before but I have had customers bring bikes like a GT Laguna Pro in (this is a bit better than what you'd find at a box store) and I have spent ages on them becuse they don't check for wobbly rims, loose or espically over-preloaded bearings, and the shifting and brakes usually need to have every adjustment possible done to them. On a super high end bike like this canyon, I'd expect a much higher build quality. But in my experience most people ride sub $500.00 bikes like the afformentioned Laguna. Assembly jobs like that are probably one of the most dreaded by the technicians that shops offer.

I recently got the Grail AL 6 from Canyon. It came very nice in box but when I assembled the bike, I found so many problems. The front brake was not correctly aligned so the disc is rubbing one side of the brake pad. And the front derailleur was also not aligned properly , the cage was not straight with the cassette and the chain was rubbing the cage when on fastest speed gear combination or slowest speed gear combination. I wrote email to canyon to complain the issue, no reply received. And their return policy is only for unused bike. But you can’t really notice those problems once you actually ride the bike. Very annoying experience with canyon. It is great bike but really poorly built at the factory and bad after sale service !

Those issues seem normal for a new bike and it's worth learning how to fix them for the future. Adjusting the disc brake pistons to stop the rubbing is usually easy with one hex key. Same with front derailleur rub. I agree it's shitty but if you learn it it will be rewarding and will save you money in the future

elorz007 elorz007 I agreed that it’s worth to learn how to fix it and I did actually learn to have fixed the front disc brake issue. Even though it was quite a work. I need to loosen the screws to realign the disc brake calipers several times to almost solve the issue. Although it is still slight rubbing the pad but I think it’s ok. The front derailleur problem can’t be solved by adjusting cable tension or L/H screws. And it was not easy for me adjust since I don’t have bike stand at home. So I went to the local bike shop. There even the professional mechanic spent nearly half an hour to fix it. They was not happy with what they deal with either when I told them it was a new bike. This i don’t think it’s a small issue for a new bike. I think it’s poor quality control before Canyon ships the bike to their customers. And I got the reply way much faster on KZbin here than Canyon service, because they never reply me;).
