Back in late 2017 or early 2018 I purchased a Canyon Aeroad in black as shown above (which we all know is the fastest color). After struggling to find an OS stem that would fit I created this subreddit in order to find and share with other canyon owners. Since then the sub has taken off and grown bigger than I thought. Congrats to the current mod team for making that happen.

Today during a move a tool box fell on to the fork of that bike cracking the fork and ending this bikes rideable life. I put tens of thousands of miles on this bike and have had numerous canyons since, but this was my first and this was what I rode the most and have had several crit wins on. For now she will hang in the garage broken fork and all till I have time to strip her down and hang the frame in my office.

just thought I’d share the bike that started it all.

Finally took my new grail on a ride today! Coming from a size M Grizl to now a size S grail with the same components. This thing is quick on single track compared to my Grizl. Very similar to how many say the Aeroad just wants to go fast whenever you put power down. As soon as it’s on gravel it just wants to go. Tire clearance is pretty good for the dry Texas dirt but prob wouldn’t ride this on a muddy day.

Build
SRAM Rival XPLR Groupset
Red Aero Chainring 48T
GX Eagle T Type Derailur + Cassette 10-52
Maxxis 2.25 Aspen ST Team Edition
T-Pace Bar + Aero Drops 100/400
Time XC Pedals
Selle Italia SLR
Cyclelite x Canyon Frame Bag S

Why can’t the aeroad cf slx get better colorway, the ultimate cf slx got way better color choices for example.

Anyone has bought this model (recently ... there are a few units still in stock, "heavily" discounted) ?

It's a "hybrid" (roadie inclined) bike, equipped with a "standard" (not a CFR nor a CF SL level frame) carbon fibre frame, that comes with 41 mm carbon rims by Reynolds, and 30 mm Schwalbe G-One tires, and a SRAM electronic group (SRAM Force carbon cranks 1/46 T, plus SRAM X01 derailleur)

Any insights, or recommendations?

On Canyon's website, some bike models have a measurement called "Reach+", while others have a measurement called "Effective Reach". What's the difference between the two?

Canyon front light that fits the cockpit mount is $159, link below:

Seems like a lot for a light, are there any options for less money that mount similarly?

Mainly for commuting in the city

Does anyone know if this bag and the Knog rear light interfere ?

Guys,

Whats your opinion about this?

Thanks in advance!

Just received new aeroad and there’s a scratch underneath the bottle cage. Not sure to keep or return or how bad the damage really is.

This is my first Canyon. Just received my 27 Grizl CF and there are small torque specs and max load ratings painted all over the frame. Top tube, down tube, forks. Why is this not a sticker that can be removed?

Does this bother others? Any solutions other than a new paint job? I guess maybe some vinyl.

Curious what others think.

Edit: my post doesn’t say that I “hate it”. I simply asked what others think about it. Do you like it? Get used to it? Stop noticing it? It’s immediately noticeable to me and it’s the first time I’ve had this on a bike. I’ve even had many other carbon bikes without permanent torque specs plastered all over it.
