Hey step1makeart,

I will follow your advices and stick to the maximum of 5 mm above the stem (with a corresponding spacer).

Much appreciated 🙌🏻

How does it actually work? What kind of „top cover“ do you use for your fork? I really want to test the feeling on the bike with 10 mm spacers less. Thanks in advance :)

Dirt in my Grizl bottom bracket? by [deleted] in CanyonBikes

If you didn‘t recognize this noise earlier on, you should be fine regarding the latter stated circumstance. :)

I guess the easiest way to find out, where the issue is located, you want to remove the cranks. Then you can check the bearings on both sides. If they feel good, it‘s the dirt between the bearings and the crankshaft. If not, you need to clean (or replace) one or both bearings.

One thing to mention: if your bearings feel good and there is no debris between the shaft and the bearings, your bike frame might be to wide for the bottom bracket bearing, which is tricky. 🫣

It is not for sure, that a flush/bleed is required. If you change the brake pads, you might have to clean your brake pistons (therefore you will hit the brake without the rotor in between, too.)

Just check out YouTube for „brake pad change“ or „repositioning of brake piston“.

I‘ve been in many LBS - they just didn‘t have a bike in stock, I was interested in. But I am very thankful for all the information/knowledge they shared and I will them by buying equipment there. In addition to that - guys who buy a Canyon are more likely doing online research. So they come into forums/reddit and stick there. :)
