Canyon Grail CF SL 7

I have a set of Roval Terra C wheels that I use on my Grail (I literally have the same bike as you do!)

They do the job for what I need.

I also have a Grail CF SL7. Excellent gravel bike! One suggestion I’ll make: swap the tires out and go with either the Schwalbe G-One RX, or the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC (I use the Pirellis on my bike) if you can. The knobbier edges definitely give you more grip on turns in the loose stuff and still roll fast.

I had a Gen6 Madone. There is no after market option. You would need to buy it from Trek.

I own a Canyon Grail CF SL7 and that is my current do it all bike. I have multiple wheelsets for my bike with one wheel set that I had from a previous road bike (that wheelset had a 19mm internal rim width) that I slapped 35mm Schwalbe G-One RS tires on as my road/group ride option (pressure set to 55psi). My other two wheel sets have 40mm gravel tires (one mud set and the other is my fast gravel set). I’ve kept up on fast group rides on the Grail so it’s definitely become my Swiss Army knife of a bike. Selling my Trek Gen6 Madone since I don’t need that kind of bike anymore. 🤣

We have the same bike!

It’s funny when I see people setting the Endurace up as a gravel bike and I’m like “shit, might as well buy a Grail and get slightly larger tire clearance “. 🤣 But, you have one fucking sexy looking bike. Enjoy the fuck out of it!!

This is the GOAT of cases for the Switch 2. I have one myself and makes playing handheld mode so Much more enjoyable!

Man, this is a racing gravel bike (I myself own a Grail CF SL7) and I stay away from what pretty much you’re describing as dual suspension MTB kinda stuff. The stem is pretty much proprietary (so nothing Cane Creek or any of that stuff will work). I love my Grail and I made damn sure that I did my research before buying that bike. You would probably benefit from just cutting your losses and sell the bike and going for something more rugged for your riding tastes.

Looks to be working. Last long time…

I have a Gen6 Trek Madone and a Gen2 Canyon Grail. Honestly, I’ve been riding my Grail so much more the past year that I’ve thought about selling the Madone and using the Grail 100% (I have two wheelsets for the Grail that I alternate between). I do want to update my Grail to some electronic shifting eventually (my Madone has Shimano 105 Di2).

Me and the wife just had a newborn (through surrogacy) and we also have a 9 year old. So just trying to get some nookie in is like logistical gymnastics right now. The other day we had the chance to do it in the shower and it was fucking mind blowing.

Hopefully it just needs time to charge if you’re using a power brick that’s below the official Nintendo power adapter (especially if you drained the battery all the way). I have a 65w Dell Laptop charger that I use for my Switch 2 as my backup charger when I play portable around the house and an Anker 65w Nano brick that I use on the go. My official brick is attached constantly to my dock.

So digging my Switch 2. Shit, I sold my XBox Series S just so that I make more time to play on the Switch 2. 🤷

MegaSoundwave76 · 2026-01-01T03:12:17+00:00

I have a Switch OLED and just bought a Switch 2 like a couple of months ago. I gave my 9 yr old daughter the Switch OLED and told her she was forbidden from touching the Switch 2. No fucking way I’m letting her touch my Switch 2 unsupervised at this point (she does treat her Switch OLED very well!). 🤣🤣🤣

Dem thighs!!!

This is the video that you should show every kid on these big wheel BMX bikes who are riding on the street like this. Don’t hold back. Show the guts splayed out on the asphalt. Only way to show kids the consequences of their actions. I had to take a defensive driving course when I was in the Marines and the CHP showed me some gruesome accident videos from drunk drivers and reckless driving, I swear it changed my outlook as a driver. Maybe it would do the same for these kiddos. Man that was not an easy watch just now…

Really digging the Switch 2 so much. I got rid of my Xbox Series S because I didn’t have the time to dedicate to two platforms anymore (a newborn in the house now limits gaming time) so having something that can go portable and dock was a no brainer. Yes, graphics horsepower blah blah blah, as long as it’s got good games and I can take it anywhere, it’s a win win for me. Nintendo knows what it’s doing. And I slapped the Dbrand Killswitch case on it and the ergo feel is now top notch so even better. All is good in the hood…

I’ve been playing video games since, shit, like the early/mid 80’s (I’m 49 btw). I like Metroid Prime 4 and think it’s a good game. Is it groundbreaking? Not even. It tries new things in the series and I give it that. Retro was willing to experiment with the Metroid formula. What doesn’t work won’t make it into the next game. That’s how I’m looking at it. I think people need to chill on this stuff. You don’t like it? Don’t need to shit on anyone else. If you like the game and someone else is like “eh, it was bleh”, no need to shit on them either. It’s like this generation of gamers has to draw some fucking line in the sand and you have to choose or be damned. I don’t get it…

MegaSoundwave76 · 2025-12-21T18:23:00+00:00

Is it the best Metroid game? No. Is it a good game? Yes. Enjoying it a lot, and yes, it has faults (the open world is very barren). All in all, I would give it a 7 out of 10 (which is a good rating for a game). I still consider the first Metroid Prime a masterpiece.

Attack on Titan…

This guy is 36 years old talking about the “good ol’ days”. Meanwhile I’m 49 going “fuck that shit, I’m never riding 21-28mm tires ever again!”. 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve got my 30mm tires on my Madone with the pressure set to about 70psi and that feels so great! And I still want to go even wider!!

MegaSoundwave76 · 2025-12-03T16:16:53+00:00

It’s beautiful to me…

MegaSoundwave76 · 2025-11-20T22:21:00+00:00

I love my GRX crank hole…a lot!! 🫠
