2024 Strive:ON

[Seagrave7]

Any idea if the Strive On will be released in the US? Still yet to be listed on the US Site.

Have you tried to fit a 29 wheel? (Sorry sounds a bit like you are answering based on what Canyon have intended it to be rather than what can actually fit in the space, hence asking the question!).

I’m interested to know this too

I haven't physically tried to fit a 29er as I'm a bit old school in that if a bike manufacture says it's 27.5 only I believe them. To be fair my Rail was 29er both ends and I loved it but I don't think 29 would suit the Strive as the geo is spot on and that changes everything.

I don't have a 29er to test but I measured the seat stay and chain stay clearance, it'll comfortably fit at 29er at the seat stay but the chain stay has at most 0.8 inch clearance which is very tight to be adding 0.75 inch more wheel (27.5 to 29 extra 1.5 inch divide by 1/2 = 0.75 inch) based on the clearance I'd say it won't take a 29er at the rear.

@Rob Rides EMTB will have a 29er handy, maybe he'll test and confirm?

While I'm waiting for my Strive:0n CFR, I'm thinking through the chainring options.
I'm assuming the chainline is 52mm, at 12 speed?
Does anyone know, if there is enough space for a 38 t chainring?

Thank you for your inputs!

Guys, has anyone figured out a good option for a rear mudguard/fender for Strive:ON?
That mud building up in the back is killing me

RRP rear proguard with extender works pretty well.

Has anyone already changed the chain?
Mine measured >75% wear after 450 km, which is crazy fast.
I'm using wax-based chain lube (UFO Drip), which I find great on my other bikes.

I swapped mine at 300 miles as was at 0.8mm stretch

Blimey, is that a normal amount of stretch for an ebike then?

I did 2700 miles on my last ebike (first chain). But then I’ve never purchased a chain measuring tool before. Luckily Deore chains are on offer at £11.99 at chain reaction at the moment so ordered a few

 

[hubertsk]

I just swapped the OEM Deore for an XT chain; let's see how long this will last

You did 2700 miles on one chain? On an ebike?

Its not a bout the lube.............my mate just uses 3 in 1 oil and gets loads of miles from a chain...........it is about the cleaning. a chain actually needs very little lube to prevent wear but definitely needs the grit and dust removed regularly. It also helps of course to back off momentarilly when changing gear and avoid using the extremes of the cassette unless a bsolutely necessary. Chain line beyond the middle 6 gearsof a 12 speed cassette is extreme

Yes but when it started slipping the cassette was finished too. I figured this time I should take more care and prolong the cassette life but I’m wondering if ignorance is bliss

I remember never servicing anything when I was a kid. It never even occurred to us.

I'd change brake blocks and fiddle endlessly with the positioning of my Magura HS33's, but I never bled them. I'd change a gear cable when it was knackered and oil the chain, but the chain was mostly filthy and I don't recall cleaning the bike very often. Still, I never replaced the chain ever, nor the cassette. I only replaced the front chairing because I added a bash guard and needed something smaller up front.

The forks never got a service, either. Nor did they get set up with any level of precision. Just wound off fully for max plushness and occasionally tightened up for climbs or trials.

I'm not sure if it was an air or coil fork though. (Marzocchi Bomber 3.5)

I also don't recall greasing headset bearings or doing much else. I did, however, run two inner tubes in each tyre, to prevent pinch flats. Must've weighed a ton!

I bet if I could re-create that bike now there's no way I could do what I used to do on it.

In my opinion it is worth buying a good chain. In this case a SHIMANO XTR E-BIKE QUICK-LINK CHAIN CN-M9100 12-SPEED

…or the RRP ProGuard Rear Standard. Then you don't need an extension, you also have side protection in the lower part and you don't have the holes. But longer.​

But is the XTR chain actually more durable, or just lighter?

Well they definitely look good!!

I fancy a 2.5 or 2.6” at the rear. Find the 2.4” a bit too skinny

I’ve modded an old rrp front fox mud guard for mine. Cut off the sides and smoothed with an angle grinder and cable tied the section that attached to the fork crown with a rubber packer between so it’s nice and tight. Sits a few mm either side from the paint and doesn’t move/rub in use

Crucially it keeps the mud collection shelf nice and clear

My thoughts exactly! They look great.

New vinyl on the forks as well?

It looks like you also replaced the brake rotors, sweet!

 

[Winryn]

I’m getting desperate to reduce pedal strikes so have ordered some hope 155mm ebike cranks. Will report back if it makes any difference

 

[scm007]

Any idea if the strive will support the Bosch range extender when it comes out?

 

[Mars2]

I made a carton template at the size of the spec of the range extender and its too big too fit on Strive size small.
It will interfere with the shock. the corner that I mark in grey is where it will pass over the shock

 

[Mars2]

Rear Maxis DHR2 DD was dead replace now by a Taky Chan SG Soft .

What crank protectors are those? Looks like it says Race Face on them?
