....they weren`t!! Your bike looks awesome,...and it has a handsome brother.

I have to say this was my favourite - 10/10!

I got the same bike. Yours puts it to shame!

bike looks great, don't get trp hy/rd brakes if you do upgrade - they are absolute trash

Just go with normal hydraulic 105 or ultegra 11spd shifters will fit perfect and removes all the hydro/cable swap overs. My local giant shop recommended it to me when I was looking my first tcr some years ago.

​@gregkane8635 Absolutely. You can even go used and they don't break the bank...

Will it have Fenders?😉

Keep in mind that you already have an 11-32 cassette on there. Maximum for a Shimano long cage derailleur is 11-34.

@virtualmartijn Officially it is. Technically it's capable of more. They could even swap to a GRX. My 812 handles a 2x with 11-46 just fine.

same here, I was expecting to see a rack to haul gear with.

Technically he's done bike reviews too, since he tore into the AMD branded bike

How about Rides of Japanese. He is hilarious and he builds the lightest most desirable bikes you can imagine fellas.

Shops like Mapdec service a lot of bikes, and have other high-end brands and expert services that allow them to make money. Most bike shops don't have such affluent or varied clientele and therefore the ability to sell affordable bikes is important to their overheads. If people looking for an affordable bike all buy Canyons, then that's a big chunk out of the bike shop's revenue, which means they'll struggle like a lot are at the moment. Also getting parts to service canyons can be a troublesome endeavour, especially if the customer expects the shop to be able to get the parts needed as quickly as they can get parts from established suppliers.

@@Enidub I hang out at my LBS a lot (probably too much). Firstly, most of their revenue derives from servicing followed by sales of parts, accessories, spares and kits. If anything, their smallest margin is actually by selling bikes. On another note, what you just described is basically competition in business. 😅 it’s a competitive world

I've been in the industry for 13 years, working in chain brands to independent shops, working in sales and as a mechanic. I grew up hanging around bike shops. What has been hurting bike shops are people online shopping, especially those shops that make more money repairing bikes. If a customer seeks out the deals for components online and only pays the labour charge, the workshop is losing out on much needed revenue it'll make from selling components. It's not as bad as it used to be with more people taking up cycling, but it has hurt many smaller shops to the point they add a carriage fee to any component not bought in the shop. The same is true for bike shops that make more or a considerable amount selling bikes and builds, if people buy their bikes online and only require servicing, the shop also loses out on revenue it used to make before the D2C model became so popular. As long as cycling becomes more popular, bike fitters will always have new clients. I think Canyon produces good bikes, I actually like them, but Canyon benefit off of the existence of bike shops fixing their bikes while having such a large presence that doesn't benefit the shops in anyway. You cite competition, which is fair...but this goes beyond just being business minded, and is more in line with the conversation of how do we keep bike shops open; many of them serve as community hubs for people who ride bikes. Canyon allowing bike shops to make money by selling spares, as some big brands do, would be a much lauded move by them. It would mean fixing Canyon bikes faster, so storage in a small workshop can be free to accept more services, which means more money for the shop.

came to say the same thing

My lbs owner got a nickname with "evil" in it. He used to be a pro mechanic and he is hands down the best when it comes to repairs - but he's the epitome of grumpy. Bring a Canyon to the shop and he will instantly make you regret you started the day.

they're being polite mate

One anecdote doesn't mean anything on the grand scheme of things.

I just can’t get passed the name Winspace. I will have to send you a short clip on my iCan Gravelo frame I built up with Campag’ Ekar and Roval C30s. I labelled it STEVEN’s similar to the German brand and also put a BMC logo on the seat tube to remind me it is a Bicycle Made in China (BMC)! Also just wondering what everyone’s mate Dave Arthur would submit as his bike of choice ( by the week)

They have in previous editions.

"Cowards" 😂😂😂

Word has it that my bike briefly broke the internet 💖💖💖

hahaha thank you John, cheque is in the post 🤣💗

Depends on if you watched it early enough 😂

There are some bike shops that are Authorized Canyon Dealers/shops. I have one down the road from me and it’s a banger of a bike shop/cafe/hangout. They service anything, but only sell Canyon. But from what I’ve seen, they don’t try and push Canyon, more “whatever is best for you”

The problem is going to a bike shop can end up being too expensive for a bike you can buy much cheaper direct-to-consumer. The expert advice isn't given either, they will always have their own opinions on cycling and bikes which bleeds into their advice when a customer goes in. Don't forget they're running a business, so in some cases you need to be wary of being ripped off.

Does say dura ace on the crank, but I know that's not conclusive.
