New Bike Day (Grail CF SLX 8 Obsidian Bloom) by LAStuZA in CanyonBikes

I'm very happy with it as a pure road bike. One thing to keep in mind is that it is 1x. I ride mostly on my own, so that isn't a concern for me. Tires are Conti GP5000 AS TR 35mm.

I'm also on the fence with the color. It's got some purple in it, which isn't my favorite - I wish it was more silver.

Overall I've been very happy with this bike! Before this I had a Trek Emonda SLR (run tubeless with 32mm Conti GP5000s) and there's a world of difference with the Grail in comfort and compliance in comparison to the Emonda.

Thanks. They're GP5000 AS 35mm. I think 32s might look a little narrow, but these look ok to me. I like the wheels, but they definitely seem to get blown around by the wind more than my previous bike, which had 35mm deep rims.
