2024 Strive:ON

[Mars2]

Bike is at DHL

 

[Jdog]

I'm in Europe

Damn Brexit

Do you have a serial number yet? Is the order confirmed or in picking?

Nothing yet, might be because I did the pre-order / pre payment option at checkout on Saturday and only fully paid today.
I did contact Canyon today to see if the date might change but they said no it'll be 23rd to 3rd as per the email.

 

[Mars2]

I already got my Bicycode

 

[Mars2]

I ordered and paid Sunday. just had to wait they send me the invoice without VAT. got it an hour after ordered and I paid.
I buy it under my company so no VAT

You recommend ordering them with the bike? Will spacers really wear?!

 

[Mars2]

Do you think it's possible to fit a Bosch 400 or 500 W/H batterie if I 3D print a spacer longer than the one delivered with the 625Wh.

I don't need so big battery and would like to save some weight.

Spacers won’t wear - apologies for that. It’s only if you want to fit another fork the higher steerer and raise the stem a bit.

The 500 will technically work as its smart system compatible.

I ordered with 625wh battery so when mine arrives I’ll show pictures of the spacer. Maybe a longer / modified version of the spacer.

You could also order the spacer from canyon and then use that as a blueprint.

 

[Mars2]

Me too 625 Wh
I think its possible to ride without battery? This would be cool as I do a lot of bike park in the summer with chair lift to go up. bike park 2 hours from my home

I assume it’s OK to ride without. But would be worth checking with Canyon chat online to double check.

I wonder if you could just use 2 of the spacers, they look like they'd lock together. There's only 3mm difference between the 500/625 difference and the 625/750 difference.

 

[Mars2]

intresting! Thank's.
With a piece of aluminum 3mm in between the 2 spacer's

I did asked them already, the answer is NO, it cannot be used without battery. I guess this is the same for all Bosch bikes.

 

[Mars2]

Did Canyon tell you why? Is the engine blocked when no battery?

Strange because my friend with bike with Bosch all remove their batterie when we go Bike park like I also did on my Heckler with Shimano.

Their bike is Lapierre GLP2 with Gen 4 bosch CX and Scott ransom

Here's the exploded view of the battery, and PDF attached below.

Battery extension (labelled 46) adapter is called:

Well my brother @CaptainPuke has had his bike delivered although he's at the wrong bloody end of the country for me to have a look/sniff/lick/ride of it so will have to wait for the unboxing photos like everyone else!

Let's hope they put the right bike in the box, eh!

How long was delivery once it was shipped? mines been shipped today, no ETA yet.

Go and open it for him you'll be doing him a favour

5 hour drive so I imagine he'll beat me to it!

Anyway, I did "borrow" (without asking) his pride and joy Orange P7 many years ago (like over 25 years ago!) and crashed it flat out into a fence and completely destroyed it so I'm not sure he'll let me within a 20m radius of this one.....

 

[davosaurusrex]

I ordered mine on the 11th and at that time the website was saying 3-10 days for delivery. After ordering it gave me an estimated delivery between 22nd and 2nd June. However within the day Canyon had picked and shipped it and I got a notification from UPS that delivery due... tomorrow! So providing it turns up (tracking still saying tomorrow, within a three hour window) I'll be well impressed with that!

@Rob Rides EMTB 5 days including the weekend! Must be a record

Sorry, I did not ask for the reason. I know many people doing DH without battery but maybe they just don't know.

Got to see the new bikes in the flesh at forest of dean saturday. The torque is massive! looks like a motorbike the downtubes so thick. Saw a fella riding one without the bottle in and the gaping hole looks a bit odd. I did actually kind of like how the bike looked even with the thickness. I would def like to have a go on one with that 900wh battery in for shuttling!

[CaptainPuke]

I’d love to tell you how it rides, but it was delivered upside down and the brakes need bleeding now… ffs

First one in its new home! Enjoy

Brakes might be ok, can you pump the levers until they bite?

Yep but the sponginess returns about 30 sec later. Gonna take it out and get some hard braking done to bed in pads, maybe that will help. Haven’t got any mineral fluid and bleed kit was last used with synthetic… will try a zip tie on the levers tonight. Off to Welsh wales Thursday and keen for a shakedown hoon!

I did have an alloy levo comp ordered from bikeinn but three days after taking my money they cancelled the order as they were out of stock! Then your vid popped up that day. Fate?
