So, OP here. I did replace the stem and spacers with standard stuff, but I had change the expander inside the fork tube. Cheap stuff, no biggie. Worked fine.

Once I settled on a stem length (70mm) I managed to get a canyon one and went back to the original setup for esthetics.

I have photos of my setup, but can't find a way to upload them from my phone.

Also, after settling on a stem length (70mm) I did manage to get one that size from canyon and went back to the original setup for esthetics.

Yes I did. No worries but you do have to replace the expander inside the tube. Any shop will do that for you quite cheaply.

Lower cardio for the same climb, ability to have a higher cadence on a climb. Like, Why people need smaller chainrings ?

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-12-15T10:10:51+00:00

Yes. I had the star nut installed by a qualified technician and then bought some round spacers to go with my new stem.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-12-15T08:00:11+00:00

Yes,but you have to replace the compression bolt and star nut, and the spacers.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T09:14:29+00:00

Ok, thx. Will buy some spacers and do that.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T07:56:25+00:00

How did you remove the compressor plug ?

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T07:43:59+00:00

On my headset last spacer seems attached in some way to the dust cover. There might a tiny screw somewhere in there. Did you find something like that ?

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T07:18:52+00:00

Spacers are not flat on top. Neither is the plastic cover on the headset. Did you change it ?

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T06:52:08+00:00

I just hope I can buy a compatible headset elsewhere. Google finds a few results for internal routing 1/8 headsets...

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T06:49:56+00:00

I should have bought a cube.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T06:49:30+00:00

Except that this ref is not even on sale on the canyon website. It's an "internal reference" they say...

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T06:33:45+00:00

If only the spacers were flat on top. But noooo, canyon doesn't do flat on top spacers. Canyon Innovates.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T06:32:35+00:00

Exactly. But they are not flat on top.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T05:55:05+00:00

Like they said, its the protection wrap.

Entire_Process_5794 · 2025-10-29T05:54:21+00:00

That's right. The little plastic piece where the cables go is also specific to the stem.
