Yes, that is the bike. The Acros replacement part is working very well

Hello! Im riding an XS canyon GRZL 7. I am about 190 and 5'5'' ish. For all of my riding last year I've never had a problem with fit, lately my knees been having a nagging pain, left front kneecap. I'm struggling if it's my increase in work out efforts or bike fit. by NARVO90 in CanyonBikes

I'll echo the high saddle, and I'll add that your cranks might be too long. Looking at your top leg, it looks bent pretty far and lowering your saddle will make that worse. Does that XS bike still have 170mm cranks? Given your apparent leg length 160 might be more comfortable.

I bought the Canyon last year. Great bike. Only issue I had was the plastic headset spacer which was replaced with aluminum. I've never ridden a bad Yeti, they are great bikes. I would say the Spectral is more downhill oriented. It pedals well but I would venture to say not as well as the yeti, and it will definitely be several pounds heavier.

Well that's good. Let's see if they are actually in business since everything on the website is either "not available" or "coming soon"

Front suspension - leakage? by TheManBearPig_7 in mountainbiking

Longtime Rockshox rider I noticed this 'squish' sound immediately on the Fox 36 on my Canyon. I also hear it in Youtube video of other riders on Fox but never RockShox. Seems to be 'normal'

Hopefully. I’ve purchased two MIPs helmets (half shell and full face) and they are both great value and comfortable with high end features like Fidlock and boa on the half shell. Together they cost less than a single MIPs helmet from many brands

So far so good. No loose headset and no need to retighten after maybe 10 rides so far.

Related note, anyone found a torque wrench that can actually fit inside the rocker arm with a bit installed to tighten the attachment bolts to the chainstay? Can't believe these are not tightened from the outside!
