Without research I'm not sure. I guess as long as the rotor will fit between the pads with the pistons fully retracted then it should be OK.
If you're not overheating your brakes then don't bother. You'd just be adding weight for no reason.

Yeah I've fitted a Hope 220 up front and 200 on the rear as direct replacements.
I'll get a picture of the 'rubbing'
I can confirm the 2mm is fine for the 4 pot XT, so probably SLX, XTR, Deore are also as there are no significant differences in calipers. I am running the Galfer rotors without any issues, but not on the Strive to be clear. Also I would not go any more than 2mm, as it's pretty finicky to setup, but once you nail it, the braking power with the right pads is immense.

Anyway, back to the Strive:ON...
Absolute banger!
Hopefully I can test the PowerMore soon. But looking at the frame size even on my L I'm not confident that it's going to fit!
waiting for mine, might arrive today but probably tomorrow, super excited. Going to be interesting to see if size is okay, had some wrist pain earlier so i bought an SQlabs bar with 16degree backsweep and 45mm rise, might mellow out the reach also if its feels a bit much.
Yes a good idea.Anyway, back to the Strive:ON...
I'll start by answering my own question...
The 590ml Fidlock bottle doesn't fit the size M frame, technically does fit but the cap is touching the shock so wouldn't advise it. I've got the Fidlock base as low as it'll go to. It's a shame I can't spin the lid the other way around as it'll likely fit then. Another option would be to get the bottle without the cap on, like the Peaty's one someone mentioned.
450ml vs 590ml
450ml on the bike:
590ml:
*Goes off to Google PowerMore...* Sounds interesting.
Yeah sticky notes or pinned posts info would be very helpful as this threads fill up quickly. I'd actually answered this on page 11.
The bottle cage bolts are M5 x 15mm, I confirmed with Canyon and its also printed on the frame.
Bottle mount - finally sorted. I contacted Canyon and they confirmed the bolts are M5x15mm and it's also printed on the framethey were slightly baffled the bike didn't come with bolts but mine has Canyon branded plastic blanking plugs. I've fitted the fidlock mount at its lowest possible position with a 450ml bottle and I don't think there is enough room for the 590ml or bigger bottle but don't have a bottle to test it.

So do they fit on the back without modifications? Cause I'm confused while those Hope rotors are laying in my shopping basket
Btw, have you tried 200 or 203mm at the back?

How are people finding riding with the speed limiter?
I've been used to an e8000 set to 32kmh for the last 3 years.
Am I going to regret going to a 25kmh restriction?
How easy is it to pedal above the limit?
I am aware of a project to derestrict but I'd probably keep it stock as it seems a faff and I don't want to lose the warranty

Alright, don't get your knickers in a twist. Last thing I said was I'm done explaining it.
Onward and upwards... Or downwards.
Did anyone figure out the best way to interact with the alarm? I don't want to play with it whilst the bike's in the house in case it decides to go off on the middle of the night.
Once you set it, does it tend to drain the battery much? Thinking of whether it's a good idea to leave it set in the bike shed, or if it's more just for protecting the bike whilst you're out?
It shouldn't really drain your phone any more than any other Bluetooth device. My car unlocks with my phone and I've never noticed any excessive battery drain and it stays connected to the car all day sometimes when I'm out and about.
I'm more concerned about drain on the bike battery For example, if I don't get chance to ride for a month and put the bike away with 40% charge, will it be at 38% a month later, or completely flat?
Alarm has a separate battery not sure if it even uses the ebike battery as mine was removed the other day yet alarm still went off.
Oh, wow. Didn't realise that. Time for some Googling I think. Be interesting to see if it's a rechargeable that recharges from the main battery, or if it's something that will need replacing intermittently. If it's the latter then probably a good idea to have some in stock.
I think I remember reading it can last 8 days without the ebike battery connected and charges from the ebike battery so must be a minimal drain. I’m pretty sure it’s a coin battery like those found in car keys.
@Rob Rides EMTB will know.

It's annoying on roads, but it's better than a stock EP8, because the Bosch has full assist until it just cuts it all out at ~26 km/h, compared to the EP8 were the assist already starts to decrease at ~22km/h and cuts it all at ~25km/h. It is for sure possible to pedal it above the limit on roads, but you feel the drag from both the tires and the motor so it's nothing you probably do any longer distances. But atleast you get a more powerful motor with the CX in a trade off for speed from the E8000/EP8.
Thanks.
@Rob Rides EMTB do you have the deets on this, or are you able to confirm with Bosch? Just curious how it works. There doesn't seem to be very much info on Bosch's website about the unit and how it's powered, other than saying it has a battery.
I'd hope it can last more than 8 days without the main battery, else that's going to get annoying when I inevitably don't get the chance to ride every week.
I love it as a feature though - should keep the bike that bit safer.
Out of interest are people insuring their bikes in general? Seems expensive to do so, but could save you...

Have you seen the YT Thirstmaster 4000 bottle? It's about the same length as the Fidlock 450ml but it's wider so holds a full 600ml. Used standard Fidlock hardware so totally compatible.
Do you have one of these?
If so can you measure it?
YT ( like most) does not have dimensions broken out so no way to know if it will fit or not.
I know the Fidlock 450 will just fit my Whyte E160S but not sure about the 4000

Does anyone know if this Canyon Frame Bag is compatible with the mounts under the top tube of the Strive:ON: Long bracket frame bag
- Thread starter

I believe it is. I remember seeing it in the press release. Might be worth doing an online chat at Canyon to confirm.

Thanks @Rob Rides EMTB I'll give them a shout and see what they say. I can't imagine Canyon would have a bolt pattern on the frame that wasn't a standard to match their product. When I do find out I'll post up what they say.
Any more brake size chat?

Yep, they are 160mm to the top of the flat part of the lid and 174mm to the top of the spout part.
Someone has also measured in inches with photos here: https://www.mtbr.com/threads/yt-thirstmaster-4000.1191259/

Just been on the online chat to Canyon and the Canyon Framebag Long Bracket is compatible with the Strive:ON - Long bracket frame bag
So, first ride around town and i am super impressed, Bike feels incredible Balanced, Bosch motor is superb.
Coming from the vitus e-sommet 2019, with e8000 size S
Bike fit is great (size S), the point i was most nervous about, even feels better than the vitus actually. (163cm)
The bike is bigger yes, but the fit feels perfect. Overall super happy with the purchase.
One thing i noticed was a small scratch on the top tube, should i do something about it?

It has a separate battery. Mine doesn’t seem to charge as I always get a warning on the app. I don’t use the tracker and alarm. One of the fixes it states is to activate it so maybe that’s why I always get this warning ??

My Bosch contact says without the main battery in, it will last 1 month.
Here's how it works with the main battery in, which is does in the background without having to turn on the bike.

Amazing, thanks @Rob Rides EMTB
Another question - regarding the EDC Tool, how much do you need to shave off of the large capsule to make it fit? And from where? Or is it best to just wrap some sandpaper around it and sand it down until it fits?
Also, I can't get the flippin' thing in the steerer tube. Any ideas why?
I've tapped the steerer, installed the threaded top cap and tightened the stem back up, and even installed the special O-ring from. The back of the packet, and it's very hard to get the tool into the steerer (the new O-ring doesn't help), but with a bit of force it goes in, then gets stuck like this.
I've given it a whack with my hand a few times and greased the O-ring and the inside of the steerer, and even tightened the bolts on the multi-tool, but it doesn't seem to want to go in and is much stiffer than expected... Help!
(The tool, has the small capsule on it, FYI.)
