Is somebody using these bottle cages? and do they work with Elite bottles?


Still happy with my SLX after almost 10K

[Roel W]

I'm using this.
Works fine with BBB Comptank and Tacx Shiva so should work with all regular bottles.

[jsprbcn]

Okay, maybe I give them a try.... thanks!

Just read in the Canyon Manual

"Do not use the Canyon road bike on a bicycle trainer to which it is attached in any way"

"Canyon road bikes are intended to be
only used on free rollers (bicycle rollers without brake). Do not use the Canyon road bike on a bicycle trainer to which it is attached in any way."

page 7.

Surely a joke.

Anyone ordered and got the Ultimate CF SLX in Jet Silver yet?
Would really like some real world pictures as i dont know whether to order this or the Stealth!
Looking at the 8.0 Di2.

surely not!

in general it is not recommended to attach your carbon fiber bike to a bicycle trainer. the loads on the rear triangle are so high they can create cracks... canyon's seat stays are very thin, canyon simply limits its risk. so do other manufacturers too!

[Samuel Sanchez Gonzalez]

Does this mean if the seat- or chainstays crack, the customer will have to prove to Canyon he never used his bike on a fixed home trainer?

Because I guess this will be their first answer

Canyon updated with all their 2015 bikes available.

Surprised they haven't got any road disc.

a few "team" colour bikes though!

[lumanz]

Just got myself a new CF SLX with Super Record in medium. Went with a stealth bike after having a white WIlier for my previous bike. It's stock, for the time being...





Canyon's headset for those who haven't seen it


And the clearance for those who are interested in the new Garmin magnet-less cadence sensor

How are the Reynolds wheels feeling with the frame, Doger? Looking forward to get a set of these.

Nice bike dodger747 !
Can you tell me what hight The saddle is at on the pictures ? And the steem lenght ? I cant decide what frame size to go with. ...
I am 1.78cm (5"9 i guess) and my inseem is 84.5-85cm , medium/100-110 steem or perhaps small/120 steem....
My current bike is a 54 with 120 steem (Pinarello Prince 2003)

Hi guys I am looking to purchase the new canyon cf sl frameset however I do not see any stems bundled with the frameset. I understand that the stems are of different dimension, do they come with the frameset purchase or I have to purchase them seperately. Appreciate your replies. Thanks.

@ Yongkun

Framesets come with the standard specc'd length stem, unless you ask otherwise.
They will exchange afterwards, but its a bit of a pain if you want the bike up and running

Canyon CF Ultimate SLX 9.0 (2012)
from white and shinny -> to stealthy matte black.

Ultimate CF SL 9.0 SL (2015) XS

-Stock except for a Ritchey WCS 110mm stem.
-Will likely change out the Fizik Antares for the Prologo Zero PAS that I'm used to, or an Antares VS with the center channel.
-Dork disc will come off after some more test rides.
