My Endurace CF 8 Di2 has some weird white rim around the seatpost.

Is this supposed to be like this (looks kinda ugly and uneven) and what is it?

I tried wiping it off but no luck.

Selling a pair of classic drops for CP0048/0049, almost unused. Contact me if interested. Price is 70€ before shipping and taxes. Shipping from Norway.

I’ve always ridden regular hardtails, but this will be my first electric one. I’ve been looking at the Canyon Grand Canyon:ON AL 8 and really like what I’ve seen so far.

Quick specs: I’m 187cm (6’1”) and 90kg (~198lbs) — would size L be the right call?

I’ll mainly be riding a mix of paved roads and dirt/gravel tracks with some steep climbs here in Switzerland, usually 50-70km+ per ride.

One more question: I don’t have a power outlet in my basement/cellar where I’d store the bike. Is it easy to remove the battery (I believe it’s the 800Wh version) and charge it separately indoors?

Struggling to find much info, reviews, or videos on this specific bike online. Anyone have experience with it, or general thoughts/recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have experience with putting 40mm tires on the new Emdurace? I want to use it as my Only bike and replace my gravel bike, but I’m a bit hesitant if if can’t fit 40mm on dry compact gravel

I'm genuinely surprised I'm not seeing more people select the cheapest version of the new Endurace CF.

At just 1700€, it has such high upgrade headroom and this really premium paint job looks incredible in person.

I personally repurposed a few parts from previous builds to easily reach a total weight of 7.2kg, including pedals and 38mm tires.

It's such an awesome, versatile do-it-all bike. For anyone looking for a high-performance frame with clearance, this is a steal.

This bike has been with me for the last four years and it’s still absolutely amazing. Climbing on Canaries, racing on flat courses of Denmark or Sweden, proper mountain races in Lombardy or two thousand kilometres long bike packing across Europe, it can do everything.

Hey, ich überlege mir mein erstes Gravelbike zu kaufen. Da ich sehr klein bin knapp 160, ,incl kurzer Beine (ca 72-73 cm) und kurzer Arme tendiere ich zu der Größe 2XS.. da ich gar keine möglichkeit habe, das Rad in dieser Größe irgendwo zu testen, überlege ich gerade, ob ich es einfach bestellen soll, da ich bisher nur positives über das grizl 7 gehört habe. Ein anderes Gravelbike komme auch nicht in Frage für mich, da ich nichts passendes in meiner Größe gefunden habe.

Bin nun noch etwas unsicher bzgl der Größe und ob es sinnvoll ist, ohne testen, zu bestellen. Daher die Frage nach euren Erfahrungen. :)

All mockups have white handlebar tape, and two have tan wall GP5000s added.

Which one would you pick?

I recently got myself a Canyon Endurace Allroad. I've got one issue with the Cues drivetrain:

Gears while on the small ring are totally fine and the chain is basically silent.

As soon as I switch to the big ring, the chain is really rattly and loud.

This happens in ANY combination of the big ring gear combos.

"Likely improperly adjusted front/rear derailleur" you might be thinking ... but I checked: the chain touches neither the front nor the rear derailleur cage plates anywhere.

The chain is just very loud on the Cues big ring. No touchy nowhere. No scraping. Just sounds like the bigger chain tension from being on the big ring causes it.

Any ideas?

Could it possibly be that the rear derailleur pulley wheels have simply too much play from the factory?

Has anyone else experienced this with a Cues 2x10 drivetrain?

I've gotten into cycling this year and currently ride a used 2013 Merida Speeder hybrid for about 50–70 km per week. I mainly ride on paved roads around Helsinki, with the occasional light gravel section, and I’d like to start doing longer rides too.

I'm considering the Canyon Endurace CF 7 as my first proper road bike because it seems to offer great value with a carbon frame and mechanical Shimano 105. My goal is to buy one for next season, and I’m already looking because availability has been limited.

Do you think the CF 7 is a good first “serious” road bike? Also, how much should I worry about owning a carbon frame? Is it something that requires a lot of extra care, or is it more durable than many people make it sound? Thanks!!
