    Anybody 5ft 5 on a spectral

    Should have mentioned that mine is also a womens and also a 6.0. I don't think that there is any difference in the mens and womens geo and dimensions in comparable sizes so a mens size S would be identical, however, the spec on the women 6.0 is slightly better (IIRC even than the mens 7.0)...

    Anybody 5ft 5 on a spectral

    I'm 5' 4" tall with a 29/30" inside leg and the Canyon sizer recommends size XS. I specifically wanted a 29" front wheel and the XS has a 27" front so following some geo comparison I went for the S and size is generally fine. In fact i would say that, for me, the Canyon geo chart is pretty spot...

    Hmmm - food for thought!

    EO43 Error - Shimano Steps E8000 System.

    Yep, mine also does this on each ride at some point. I have had it go away when I change modes. I am on IOS, but have an old Galaxy tablet; would this work, or is the software dependant on a current (or nearly current) version of Android?

    Spectral ON - size XS

    @SteveSSS - I am 5’ 4” tall but with a 29” inseam and I went with a size S, despite the Canyon website suggesting size XS, as I wanted the 29” front wheel and slightly longer reach. Like @Maxdown, I just clear the top tube with feet flat on the floor and I too can have the saddle up slightly...

    I still think that the apparent different top tube angle and kink is down to the compared frame sizes being different. The seat tube is shorter on the S than the M wmn’s or men’s, so the lower kink helps stand over height, I think. However, I can’t find a picture of a wmn’s M to check the kink...

    What size do you need? It looks like M is in stock in both Mens and Women's, and S only in Womens.

    Sex Change

    As Mentioned, I have already checked this out and the men’s and women’s are the same geo and sizing. The saddle and women’s specific colour is the only difference on the 6.0. On the 7.0 the women’s bike gets Fox Performance Elite forks and DTSwiss wheels instead of Fox Performance and Alexrims...

    The Spectral ON even comes with a small waterproof (hand) bag in the box?.

    Sex Change

    I’ve just done exactly this in the sale. The Geo is identical, but depending on which model you go for the spec is better on the Womens ON 7.0 than on the men’s. The saddle is the women specific but I will change the saddle for my preferred Specialized Ronim (probably, as the jury’s still out on...

    DHL contact issues, awaiting bike from Canyon

    just the one with mine, but quite helpful. Storing the box is not easy, it is large and strong and comes with extra twist locks and seals for any necessary return.

    DHL contact issues, awaiting bike from Canyon

    BTW, It is a very large lorry, so needs a pretty big space to park and unload. Fortunately it doesn’t take long to unload.

    DHL contact issues, awaiting bike from Canyon

    Good to hear that you have spoken to them. when my bike was shipped 0n 02/08/19, I received a noreply email from Canyon that advised of shipping and had a tracking link. That link worked up to and including being noted that delivery had taken place. However, as above, I did get a call from...

    Are there any ladies here?

    Yep, that may well be the case @Zimmerframe. Not tried the Canyon one yet and kind of like the idea of the rear support, but will likely still go with the Ronin, unless the Spectral one is ultra comfy ?.
