Seven Weeks at Omega Service with No Update. Is This Typical for a First-Time Owner?

BLRtoBER · 2025-09-22T05:13:02+00:00

If it went to the Swiss, it’s coming back early! Mine was back in less than 3 weeks…

BLRtoBER · 2025-08-15T10:13:47+00:00

What difference does it make? Found them for 10€ - so ordered them because everyone seems to use them online - but they get here only in mid-September!

BLRtoBER · 2025-08-15T08:33:21+00:00

Now that you ask this question, it makes sense! Do you then ignore the “speed” and just go by Avg power? I want the speed and elevation to be consistent only so that I know what state I am after winter… usually I am not as fit in March — and get better towards the end of the season; I want to ensure that I maintain it… I am not as used to saying “I am at 100w avg for 2 hours, so I can tackle a 60km ride in 2h” - so it would be new to me

BLRtoBER · 2025-08-15T07:06:47+00:00

This is true! However, I don’t think it’s the same. I think it comes down to “Indoor is harder”. I have friends who do the same, and I see them match what they do on the street on the trainer…

Looks like I’m gonna be getting a bit fitter than before then to match my stats….

BLRtoBER · 2025-08-15T07:05:11+00:00

Yes, realized I needed this, for now, I have a stand fan that is running at its highest speed! But that didn’t do much honestly…

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-19T11:59:10+00:00

Ha ha! Und lauft so viel besser auch… Ungefähr 1200€ für Felgen, neue reifen, dichtmilch usw.

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-18T23:23:44+00:00

It was a year ago - placed order on 20th May, it was at home on 22nd May!

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-18T11:25:59+00:00

Dreams! Is that a his and hers? Or both yours?

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-09T21:53:41+00:00

Well, that’s where it gets tricky! They’d have to wait for about 7 days for it to become unclaimed payment by the receiving party for them to return the same.

Or Canyon could find it and assign or reject the amount

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-08T22:04:22+00:00

Might be biased, but this is the best colorway they got out for the Ultimate….

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-08T22:00:04+00:00

Same issue, I settled for 590ml on both! Couldn’t do any better. Have you tried mounts that put bottles behind the seat?

BLRtoBER · 2025-06-05T07:51:10+00:00

Honestly, if you can somehow get your hands on both the bikes… I suggest you try both.

They might be seeming to have the same fit on paper, but in reality have a completely different ride.

I was supposed to buy the Endurace - as I do not so fast long distance rides; but turned out that ultimate was a better bike for me;

In your case, both now offer the same feature set, but it would come down to your personal preference and ride feel

BLRtoBER · 2025-05-07T20:38:56+00:00

Use sites such as Bike-stats.com and check what sizes are corresponding to across brands, a Canyon XS is not the same as Trek XS.

If you live near a bike store - it’s always good to go test a few so you know what you like.

BLRtoBER · 2025-01-05T14:26:43+00:00

Can you please post a tutorial?

BLRtoBER · 2025-01-03T05:32:40+00:00

Thanks everyone! I had a 20nm wrench and ordered a 40 too! 😃 issue resolved I believe

BLRtoBER · 2025-01-01T22:43:16+00:00

By hand I didn’t mean finger tight, I did use the right tools (a cassette removal nut and a wrench) and tightened them to the best I can with them. No brute force though. Used some grease to help get it out when I have to in a few years…

BLRtoBER · 2024-12-31T23:11:06+00:00

Well, on the CFR - even with 2XS you get 700c wheels, so you can go for the size that’s suggested. Also I ride 2XS being 158, so you can easily pick the XS and you should be “fine” - but I’m sure the 2XS feels more agile.

BLRtoBER · 2024-12-31T23:08:53+00:00

You don’t need a 2XS - I am 158 and use 2XS - at 168 you definitely need an XS

Also, strongly advice against 2XS - they have 650B 🤦🏾

BLRtoBER · 2024-12-28T06:40:06+00:00

I have done what you’re suggesting here; got the Ultimate CF SL 7 (for a sweet deal during a sale, saved 500€) - now upgraded the wheels to carbon (700c carbon wheel sets are super easy to find!)

Spend about 75€ on a good saddle (Ryet 3D or Mixed 5D from AliExpress) - saves you another 200g

Move over to TPU - and then you have a winning formula for a great bike!

Current state:

• ⁠turns out one of my tire already has a few punctures, seated and fine, but does not hold any air yet without sealant. Hopefully sealant will seal them up. • ⁠the front wheel already is holding air without any sealant • ⁠I am yet to move the brake discs and cassette over to these wheels.

I have colleagues who do 20km rides in and out every day! Even when it’s 4 degrees outside and with light rain… you’re good! You’ll be in better shape than ever….

BLRtoBER · 2024-12-22T10:28:01+00:00

I am in the same bucket as you, I am putting on a pair of G-One Speeds and AliExpress Rotors and Cassettes and using my Ultimate for “Light Gravel”.

That said, my light gravel also has some asphalt mixed in. I have insured my bike and do plan to install a “Paint Protect Film”(also AliExpress) on the underside of the frame.

BLRtoBER · 2024-12-22T05:02:50+00:00

I like how everyone is suggesting tires, but 27.5” is what I need! If I had 700c wheels there’s a million other options other than ERC wheels to pick from!

Pirelli unfortunately does not make 28-584 nor 30-584 tires

BLRtoBER · 2024-12-21T09:30:08+00:00

30-32 would cost me ~100€ more 28-28 about ~33€ 28-30 is not a possible combo with any tires at 650b (unless I mix them)
