    Strive:ON problems

    2mm, to be fair they worked well 99% of the time and I loved the feel, but I know a handful of sections of trail where 100% the rear disc will completely stop working within a minute, start clicking and look like a pringle. Another commenter posted a similar story in another thread with the same...

    Strive:ON problems

    Just a quick comment that I bought 4 of these in 223mm and all of them gave me massive overheating and fade issues. The fact that Galfer offered their shark fin rotors so soon after releasing the Wave ones tell me they realised there are issues with the Wave. Much happier with SRAM HS2 in 220mm.

    Canyon after-sales making me consider switching

    Your experience will vary wildly and others may offer counter examples, but I would be very cautious about buying a "store" bike abroad. I did this with a regular MTB a few years ago (Giant which claims global warranty) and basically the warranty and aftersales were non-existent once I got back...

    Is Canyon changing to Bosch

    Wouldn't the neuron:on be the most likely bike to have a newer lighter lower power bosch motor and thus most likely not the 750wh battery but a smaller/lighter one?

    Upgrade the spectral oncf8 or get the cf9

    It is more to do with the amount of oil in the system helping with compression damping. Generally, piggyback shocks will perform a lot better on longer descents as the oil will heat up less. In my personal experience, any non-piggyback shock that has ever come as stock on my enduro bikes has...

    Upgrade the spectral oncf8 or get the cf9

    No problem, I'm glad all the time I wasted in their comparison tool might help someone. By the way, re-reading my post, I realise I am using quite strong wording in many places, I do think generally all the builds are good without much changes and with the current sales there is absolutely...

    Strive:ON. a dream or reality?

    Interesting, not sure it would be the strive family that would get such an option, a lot of the lighter ebikes are typically 140-150mm bikes, so more of a neuron or spectral ST (short travel using other brands marketing terms). Another point is that Canyon currently have bikes around 23kg with...

    Upgrade the spectral oncf8 or get the cf9

    Hi I looked into this at some point, your budget and the current sales may change your priorities. I personally don't find the CF8 that interesting, you are getting an entry level fork with a cheapish shock. Wheels are probably not great, but a big plus would be shimano transmission and brakes...
