Some said no. I did buy new ones just to be safe since the manual has changed for 8170 and they’re just a few euros anyways…

You need to check the manual of your disc brake caliper. On the installation section it tells you which kind of screw and length you need

No info, but I really hope Canyon's engineers will design a proper fix for the problem. In my mind a proper fix doesn't include covering rubber gaskets, filing carbon or using grease to reduce seatpost creaking. Because the seatpost is designed to be elastic, it shouldn't rub the seat tube. Rubbing will cause wear on both the seatpost and the seat tube. Also, because there will be dirt flying from the rear wheel, the joint between the seatpost and the seat tube needs to be watertight. The comments I've heard on group rides about the creaking and bikes getting the current "fix" and that are still creaking are such that I wouldn't consider buying an Aeroad without a proper fix.

Dont most bike with non-round seatposts come with some kind of rubber piece to seal that section anyways? Canyons implementation is probably a bit over the top.

Just had a chat with canyon uk. End this year/beginning next year with a new range of the models and maybe new colors. And the problems will be ironed out.

So I guess they will have a 105 di2 Version in the cf sl.

New range of models? Surely not a new frame, right?

Update on Aeroad impressions after 3500 km.
- no creaking noise. Put on adhesive protection foil on back surface of seat post at 800 km due to noise. Silent ever since.
- comfortable yet very fast
- the ultegra 12-speed is not possible to update wirelessly as it's "too old" (?). Need a special cable for the initial update. A bit annoying. I had an Ultimate with 12-speed ultegra earlier this year and it was possible on this one.
- I appreciate the adjustable stem height and have used it. I noticed that the bearings looked rusted though.

All in all I really like the bike and good value for money!

Will there be any new (hopefully more narrow) handlebar options?

No I think they mean other group sets on the cf sl Version. 105d di2 for example, maybe also with powermeters, maybe other wheels,... I dunno.

I have no idea.. Probably a 105 di2 Version with the new adjustable handlebar? That's what im hoping for and I think this will be released as the mechanical 105 status is out of stock and not coming soon.

Just a little affraid of what the price will be..

Is this going to become another 100+ Page chapter of speculation, disappointment when the launch date is postponed, frustration when the limited bikes are all sold out, etc ?

If it is I can't wait. 8)

I hope Canyon has hired some new engineers. They need to go back to making great bikes with no gimmicky parts and selling them for a good price. There's an expression in America..."Keep it simple stupid".

I have two of the "original" new Aeroads, without the "fixes" installed and I've had zero issues. I have over 10k miles on my CFR and my wife is over 7k miles on hers. I clean and re-grease the seat tube every 1k mile so and it's absolutely silent. The Canyon engineers did just fine with this bike. The vocal minority would have you think otherwise. The new Aeroad is the best bike I've ever thrown a leg over. Period.
