For those in the US... Canyon just dropped sale pricing on a number of models throughout the range, and the pricing on the Grail:ON CF7 and CF8 is pretty stunning, below $4k USD. If they have your size, it's a good time to be buying. Thankfully I've quite enjoyed mine over the past few...
>> Whoops, just noticed the OP was asking about Rockguardz, not RockStop. I agree that the photos on the Rockguardz website are not very helpful to understand how it fits. If you are just interested in stopping water from getting in between the gap where the downtube meets the motor cover, I'd...
It's easy. I set up mine tubeless before the first ride, without touching the tape, on the stock tires, using the valve stems that came with the wheels. If you didn't get the stems with the bike for some reason, I'd reach out to Race Face and see if they can send you a set. I don't believe...
Glad to hear it is working out mostly as you hoped! Tires are so dependent on individual preference and the surface condition/terrain you ride (same as with motos), so it's damn near impossible for a manufacturer to find a tire that satisfies everyone. There is always a compromise. Your...
Seems we have similar interests. I've been riding and racing all varieties of motos (on road and in the dirt) since I was in grade school; dating myself here, but that means over 47 years of riding. I have a couple of Ducatis currently (a Multistrada 1200 and a bevel 900SS), a dual sport (Beta...
I can understand that; the carbon hoops are sweet. For your use, the SRAM gearing should be fine. Hopefully the wait is not too much longer for you. I look forward to hearing what you think of it when you are able to take delivery.
@MountainBoy I got the Grail out for a proper mixed-terrain ride today, about 50/50 pavement and dirt, with the offroad sections including tame (but sometimes steep and rutted) MTB trails, gravel trails, and some water crossings. It's quite fun. Some additional observations from today...
Frustrating. The only differences between the CF8 eTap and the CF8/CF7 are the SRAM bits (drivetrain, levers, brakes, rotors) and the wheelset. I briefly checked the analog Grail, and availability there looks worse for eTap compared to Di2, so it seems likely the supply holdup is with SRAM...
I got the base CF7, for a few reasons...I wasn't interested in eTap/AXS, the difference between the CF7 & CF8 is inconsequential IMO, and I preferred the blue. I know what you mean about the max 36T cog of AXS being a bit tall with the 44T chainring, but the motor does have plenty of grunt in...
Just recently bought a Grail:ON and have some initial thoughts. Any specific questions, feel free to hit me up. I had been low-key thinking about the Grail:ON for probably the last 6 months, to replace an older MTB and a road bike that were not getting much use. I finally got around to...
Agreed. In the kinds of conditions where the motor/clutch rattle, if I'm paying attention to the noise, I'm either not riding hard enough or not focusing my attention where it should be (managing traction, picking lines, etc.). I only notice the rattle when going slow/easy on rough sections...
Digging up an old thread here, but just bought a bike recently (Canyon Grail:ON) which also came with a Powertube that was loose with a clear gap to the frame as delivered. Unlike @Sijmes the hinge pin on the bottom mount/latch assembly on my bike was fine, nothing bent or wrong. What I did...
The M20 has a standard Shimano M6100 chain, nothing emtb specific. If you want to keep it Shimano, their quick link is this one: SM-CN910-12 That said, YBN quick links are easier to find and are compatible.
True, the charge rate ramps up at very low SOC, and it ramps down at close to fully charged (for cell balancing), but overall the 20%/hr figure is a useful and easy to remember figure for the 360wh battery. If I'm doing a partial charge, say from 20% to 70% for storage, 2.5 hours on the charger...
This is quite easy to work out on your own if nobody chimes in. Just do a partial charge from a known charge % (using a Garmin or whatever), charge it for a an hour, check the resulting charge %, then do some high school level math. I did this when I first got my M-Team, and quickly figured...
Right. As others have posted here, Orbea says to install the e*13 cranks with the hole in the spindle opposite from the pinch bolts in the crank arm; that is how mine was delivered from Orbea. Shimano uses a stopper plate which sits between the pinch bolts and locks into that hole in the...
