Get rid of headset bearing play in your Canyon bike. Do it on any fully internal cable routing bike.

[@dep1x]

cable routing through the headset is a huge red flag

[@zdravo4]

So in nowadays you can see how everywhere designers make our lives harder

[@dzonibravo7867]

Why all that hustle? Because of aesthetics? 👀 People are weird.

[@_Zane__]

Looks like a pain in the ass 😂

[@celynjones4958]

More hassle than it's worth. Another case of German overengineering.

[@nicx4603]

Bike manufacturers just continue making maintenance a pain 😩 why tho?

[@johnykryll]

What a nightmare, bad enough they go through the frame, now they go through the headset, jeez what a waste of time

[@haimCohen-i6j]

Man, you are a godsend. Thanks for the great video! I had so much trouble trying to tighten the protection ring and did not know that it could and should be tightened AFTER closing the top cap, through that little hole from the outside, hence creating the required compression from top to bottom of the headset. I have a Neuron 2023 CF SL and it has the same structure with ACROS integrated headset cables. There's play in the headset from the minute I received the bike and still after numerous attempts it's either too tight, or too loose. Canyon should pay you for the great service you do for them. The internal cables through the headset is such a bad idea!!!

Bearings on my Canyon gravel bike went bad much sooner than on my (many) other bikes.

[@nameresu]

Why do you even need this on the hardtail? It doesn't even looks cleaner than regular internal cable routing.

[@Exgrmbl]

it is kind of odd. Not like aero matters on an MTB. Truth be told, as a 90s kid i am partial to external cables, it always reminded me of the hydraulic lines on excavators and such

[@LucaBaronti-k1w]

Hi, thank you. It's very useful. I have exactly the same Canyon Exceed 2022 model. My lower bearing is stucked and gone. I have to buy and substitute it. Do you know the model or the size of the lower bearing?

[@Chunky246]

I've done a similar service on my Lux (same headset routing). The only difficult thing I found was only having two hands :) Can be hard to hold everything and line everything up while offering up the fork.

[@ToddNZMTB]

Apart from that nightmare the bike actually looks quite nice 🙃

[@CelsoBarbosaMTB]

The cable integration is not related to any particular brand but to bike industry instead. The only advice I can make is to use that shimano bearing grease inside the bearings only and for assembling parts and rust protection choose a carbon compatible grease instead.

[@fcdhgio]

Nice video! I'm gonna check this on my bike. What grease do you use?

[@ronicallmen]

What is minimum bore diameter of head tube of frame that can insert the internal cable.

[@camperp195]

Got this on my cube stereo e mtb,its a nightmare! You have to undo,dropper cable,rear brake hose,and gear shifter cable to replace the top bearing 🤬

[@michaslusarczyk6371]

After removal of hydraulic cables from brake lever can I reuse them or do I need to instal new inserts in hydraulic cable and then reinstall them?

[@Chunky246]

Yes you can reuse them. If you do it carefully enough there is no need to bleed.

[@zabibmx]

4:09 TAK O, TERAZ TO :)😜

[@_.1gnelis._974]

u are amazing

[@Optichin]

Canyon Bikes just suck

[@Chunky246]

Well they are winning just about everything at the moment.... Cross, MTB, Road...

[@paultorka6761]

Danke!

[@cannondany]

Thank you so much!

[@ingtoningtonington149]

Why would I bother? I'll just keep riding my Caad 3 Saeco. Dont have any of this nonsense.

[@zabibmx]

THAT'S ONE IS EASY COMPARE TO SWORKS TARMAK SL7 MECHANICAL ,WHERE ALL THE HOSES GOING THROUGH THE HANDLEBAR AND STEM. @ZABIKES
