I'm a bit unsure about how to set up the internal cables for the front and read derailleurs. Did you run cable housing right down to where the cables exit in the bottom bracket - or did you cut the cable housing so that only a little bit went into the frame and the bare cables ran down to the exit?

No housings of any kind inside the frame - only the cable itself runs through the frame. However I used the "liners"/plastic tubes that were already fed through the frame to pull the cables through the frame - all in all very painless and easy. I've kept the liners/plastic tubes for later when I have to change a cable and I can use them again. I set it up with Jagwire cables and housings and they've performed perfectly so far.

No weight yet, I'll wait for it to dry after a proper cleaning And I forgot; Mavic's titanium freehub body - real weenie part there! Now I just need to replace the 105 cassette with something slightly lighter! Last edited by djm on Sun Sep 09, 2012 10:51 pm, edited 1 time in total.

It may be that if you had a specific requirement for more height you could contact Canyon and see if they can cut the fork less.

And it's back on my training wheels. No races to use the CCUs in this weekend. tarz: mattyb95 is on the money. You can always ask Canyon, but I don't think they will be able to give you a longer steerer tube, but who knows. mrfish: Thanks!
