A question. Has your aeroad "seatposthole" been pre lubricated with carbon assembly paste? Cos mine seatpost is full of that red paste when I took it out.

Asking because I think that I have got used bike insted of new

I think at least two persons on this forum got cracks on their frame. I might be paranoid but I have more and more the feeling that this seatpost/handelbar changing story is Canyon's way to check many more issues (or at least the frame) on the bike without saying it.
That was me initially. I reported my chainstay crack issue very early on and said there there would be more. I think @Doctoroste was the other member who also had the chainstays crack.

Both of us have been in limbo awaiting news from Canyon. I finally lost patience and called for a refund yesterday and am supposed to be getting a call back today as the person who handles that wasn't in the office. We'll see how it goes.

Yes it is. The picture quality is shait. But there is definetly marks from corrosion. There is smaller marks behind and the other side

What a great fix. It seems the "fix" is to protect the frame, not the seatpost.

I did clean the post and the hole.There was carbon paste at wrong place and I havent even used that red paste. After cleaning I did ad the magic white grease to correct place. Now 22km later no wear. The improvment might have been done poorly, maybe some wrong tolerances or not smooth enough surface.

Not that it matters but it's been driving me crazy. Does anyone know exactly what they did to the frames!? What materials and dimensions have been changed? The seatpost is still supposed to move back and forth right? It's fundamentally the same idea, with the clamp at the bottom?

Nothing has changed on the frame, they just added a rubber sleeve to prevent dirt and grime from wearing down the seatpost.

I was under the impression that they modified the frame opening somehow. Is that inaccurate?

Yeah that is correct! Englisch is my other language



They ad some carbon layer to the frame not just rubber seal
