Thanks for the details and images, I hope my forearm doesnt need to fit up the frame to do any of this.. My annoyance with Canyon is piling up. Designing and manufacturing a full sus carbon ebike clearly requires intelligence, so why do we have to fix dumb stuff?

How many bolts hold the upper bracket? 2 on the underside and a tiny one on the top?

I am going to have to try this pre-emptively with some dense foam tucked along the battery sides. Thanks for the awareness

Wouldn't that mean we could lower the claimed wheel size in the Flow App to raise the top assist speed? I thought Bosch negated that possibility

This can be done DIY in moments with some duct tape, but good luck with this venture. Next version should be wider, for more effective coverage.

Exactly! Works great so far..

X) I also recommend you take a bunch of detail pictures of your bike while it is fresh and new. You never know what will have you asking "was my bike always like this?" until it is too late.

7) Compared to my other mtbs, this ebike seems far more sensitive to drivetrain maintenance. I think you will appreciate a robust method of raising and working on it. My setup is a bit absurd because it is a leftover from motorcycle racing. It allows me to raise it up high enough to hang the...

4) If not you, someone should look the bike over as soon as possible. Poor torquing and greasing by the canyon assembler caused me to rapidly experience a frame bolt back out, the axle back out, 2 battery bracket bolts to disappear (1 more almost escaped by the time I noticed), and my chainguard...

3/6) Our skidplate could be better. Another thing you may find it does is let dirt come down the downtube to those mounting "buttons" and jam it tight. My solutions have been: fill the skidplate mounting slots with some grease so that it fills any space between itself and those "buttons." Also...

1) While the penalty for a short power stroke is surely less when you have a motor helping, I don't think short cranks are the way to handle this. Pedal position awareness is a critical skill. Invest a portion of your attention to getting a better sense of where they are and where they will be...

(Canyon Strive on cfr) Sometimes when I am going all out, it seems like the motor backs off temporarily. Sub-20mph, pedaling through a corner or switchback, it's almost as if the bike assumes I have spun out or laid it down and is maybe trying not to worsen the situation. It doesn't make...

Do you have a particular youtube video that you recommend for demonstrating this task?

I made my own bodywork to improve my aerodynamics at Daytona, so I am a bit more interested in this topic than most.. Everything about winter air and dressing for it, plus the higher average speeds of an emtb, is feeding into the penalty...

How much does your rider aerodynamics worsen in winter? Everything comes at a price..

Just added a prototype mudstop made of duct tape for this morning's ride. There is slack in the center, with reversed duct tape under it so it moves freely.

I found that I had one loose bolt doing the job of three bolts to hold my battery in place, so I dug up replacements and loctited (blue) them in. I also dabbed a dot of black paint on the side of each so I can quickly confirm trailside that they arent spinning out. Every other bolt on the bike...

I have started "cross training" by riding with the motor off at some point in my rides, because of this concern. I could ride my regular bikes, but now that I have adapted to this emtb, those feel very twitchy. With a race coming up soon, I think it best to not go back and forth. One of my...

My power scheme, which I approach purely from a race mindset, is somewhat different: Red for choppy awkward terrain/obstacles, tight uphill switchbacks. +0 assistance, -3 dynamic. Purple for flat and uphill, +0 assistance, 0 dynamic. Blue for downhill.. this I am going to experiment with...
