From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I just got my first bike since 2010. An Endurace of the same spec as your grail. Here's my thoughts:

Disc brakes - I have them on my MTB. But, never on a road bike. Only maintenance I've done is align/replace pads. Based on your "light bike work" skills, this won't be a problem.

Tubeless tires - I am getting ready to convert my bike over. I bought some plugs based on the research I did, I went with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B6V8MHJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am carrying a Co2 kit, a pump so I have unlimited air (just in case) and a few skabs. I suspect the tubless will take care of anything the skabs could. But, they may come in handy... I can always help a brotha out too.

Di2 - OMG! I am in love with it! It is easy enough to pick up.

Other things I purchased - tape, stems, sealant and a syringe for future refills for the tubeless tires. And, I also purchased the bluetooth adapter and required cable extension so I can hook up my Di2 to my phone and make adjustments.

Search for "Integrated handlebar mount for Wahoo" on Amazon and get one of your liking. The one I purchased for my Grail and Ultimate is currently unavailable, but just to give you an idea of what it looks like:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TGY3H18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also, mine came with screws that didn't fit, so if this happens to you you'll need 2x M4 - 0.7 thread pitch - 16mm length. you should be able to get it at your local home improvement store or big stores like Home Depot or Lowes.

Park Tool SK-4 Bicycle Home Mechanic Starter Tool Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DWPMHK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_fsZ9Fb4TC4WWP

And a stand will get you started. Also look at imtb YouTube channel as they have a solid bike mechanic crashes course.

Im in the same arena right now but for my mtb. I removed frame housing as I upgraded to AXS. I will order this and visit local Autozone. Check these Jagwire plugs

They are a little on the flimsy side, but I haven't had any issues with my 21oz polar bottles falling out on a ride.

I ordered this from amazon. it mounts on the underside of the computer mount, then you can get any light you desire that has a gopro style mount. i got the blackburn dayblazer for reference. light and motion is having a sale on their lights as well.

1- I got this, as i use it for my trackday motorcycle: https://www.amazon.com.au/Michelin-Digital-Footpump-Superior-Performance/dp/B07JQT8LS4 . Get a hand pump for when you are out and maybe an extension hose and a presta adapter.

2- Canyon has some plastic fenders on their website which just fold and get placed under the saddle. For something more permanent i am not sure.

3- If you got tools already then you should have all you need. From memory a 15mm wrench should do or maybe you can get pedals with an internal 8mm hex socket.

4- Have a look at their frame size suggestion and measure yourself up. Set up your saddle height as per suggested then adjust as needed.

5- Tyres? Lights? Under saddle bag.

Just a standard Amazon wall mount, something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Venzo-Bicycle-Cycling-Storage-Brackets/dp/B07DN7L25K/ref=asc_df_B07DN7L25K/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=337173421400&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11038879603386246449&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvq...

Thanks for the feedback. You might want to look into replacing the tires with something like this Continental Ride Tour Replacement Bike Tire - Extra Puncture Protection, E-Bike Rated City/Trekking Bicycle Tire They smoothed out the ride of my tour bike.

I‘m using a bell like this one. It’s compatible with most of stem caps. https://www.amazon.de/XLC-Miniglocke-Oversize-DD-M16-Spacer/dp/B075JCPN3Y/ref=asc_df_B075JCPN3Y/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=427714707512&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11565498778965449450&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&...

It's tricky to get right, but once you've got the right shim setup. It saves so much time.

Cosmetic scratches. At the very least fill that area with some automotive top coat, but a better fix* is getting a matt black paint pen like this and then putting top coat on:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSAE0ZY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

​

Fixing yourself will never net a factory like paint job, thus if you do want it perfect I would bring it to a shop that specializes in repainting bikes to get it repainted. This might be the best idea since Canyon colorways are pretty boring IMO

Now if it was me, I would actually sell the bike. I am that particular about my bikes

That looks like a pure scratch from the directions of the marks. I would get some matte black paint like this and fill it in or at the very lease get some automotive top coat and seal it granted that will give it a shiny look

i use a similar garmin mount with the quarter-turn adaptator with a lezyne light and this.

​

To use it you have to unscrew the latex band use originally to strap the light on your bike an screw this one on. It fits neatly under the gps

Ortlieb Micro 2 0.5L. Love the rolling closure. Only caveat is that it needs a plastic mount on the saddle rails.

I've got two different heights/sizes of these which I don't think are ugly. Honestly I don't use them for storage, but just like before/after a ride or taking with me to the trail so i don't have to lay my bike down or lean it against my car in the parking lot.

https://www.amazon.com/Bikehand-Mount-Bicycle-Stand-Storage/dp/B07DBQ4F5Y

for example :) https://www.amazon.com/Eapele-Horizontal-Heavy-Duty-Compatible-Platform/dp/B09CKZ73VW/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=bike+hanger+wall+mount&qid=1655890507&sprefix=bike+hanger+wall%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-26

Just buy the clamp on version.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096855IO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_P2BA5XS23ZCHV0VSCRFK

Or one of its knock offs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PWRVRKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_J5RRW9638T9SKVEKHQ0H?psc=1

Why not just use the Canyon mount?

Also, this is what I have for my CP10, and it works great.

I have the same bike. Considered going the Ride Wrap route but decided it would be overkill for me. I ended up buying this from Amazon and taping the most likely wear points (top tube, under down tube, chain stays, and points of cable rub). If I notice any other areas starting to wear, they’ll be getting taped as well.

Lamin-x Bicycle Frame Tape Guard (Matte) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079LR76JV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_30E9NTAYJTAYZPRCBFEE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Haven't put it to the test, but I used this tape and it blends into the paint nicely. Not overly visible :)

I use one of these:

Bikehand Bike Repair Stand (Max 55 lbs) - Home Portable Bicycle Mechanics Workstand - for Mountain Bikes and Road Bikes Maintenance https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D9B7OKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_75DH71Y3M7WNM5C079KB

Found to be best bang for buck, and high build quality. Had it for 3 years+, no issues.

This is what I used on my grail

VViViD 3M Clear Paint Protection Vinyl Film 4 Inch Wide Choose Your Size Including Tools (4 Inch x 60 Inch)

I got this one for my garmin and light. It looks great and it’s a perfect fit.

Dymoece Aluminium Alloy Bicycle Computer Mount for Road Bike Integrated Handlebar,Compatible with Garmin Edge 130 200 500 510 520 810 820 1000 1030 and Flashlight https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081S3C8ZH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_XM6T6KNRJNHYE3KVK9D2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Using this one Varia mount - but i don't recommend it because its too loose and tends to break already

I got mine from Aliexpress. Amazon has some too if you can't wait a month for shipping. Like this K-edge https://www.amazon.com/K-Edge-Integrated-Handlebar-System-Mount/dp/B084HB1RNF

I had to purchase screws at the hardware store since they didn't come with the correct ones. M4x 0.7 threads I believe is the right size.

This is one aspect of riding I never understood why companies don't capitalize on this more. I am a bit picky about having really any blemishes on my bikes so I always run a chain catcher and use 3M 2228 tape on the TT and the stays. Yeah it's not the sleekest looking, but 2228 is much better at absorbing any kind of small impacts like if your seat stay fell on a bench. Personally if Canyon or any other manufacture offered clear coat film protection from the factory or sold separately I would buy it every time and I would pay the premium to buy it from them.

I also have used 3M clear vinyl. This is the same stuff they used on cars and it's adheres very well with leaving no residue. The only issue is that it's a pain to put on without any bubbles and your bike needs to be spotless before applying.

This is what I use (Wahoo version). Has the standard gopro mount on the bottom. Plenty of light manufacturers have mounts for gopro now. Plus it also lets you mount a camera on the front if that's your style.

https://www.amazon.com/Dymoece-Aluminium-Integrated-Compatible-Flashlight/dp/B081S3C8ZH/ref=sr_1_4?crid=VTMRAVMZM2KI&keywords=canyon+garmin+mount&qid=1645099629&sprefix=canyon+garm+mount%2Caps%2C236&sr=8-4

This is what you want. I got the similar one for the Wahoo mount and it works perfectly.

TUSITA [2-PACK] Bicycle Gopro Combo Mount Adapter Compatible with Garmin Edge GPS Mounts - Bike Headlight Holder Gopro Sport Action Camera Bracket(Not for Edge 1030 Flush Out Front Mount 010-12563-00) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099ZRS6MN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_81RFQ3P6C4Z097XWFZ11?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

This https://www.amazon.com/Thule-Internal-Hub-Hitch-Adapter/dp/B00FY2EXBQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 adapter. Have the same M10x1.0 threads as the end of the thru-axel. I would add some threadlocker to the threads to keep it in place.

My buddy went with this:

Here is the link to the item that i have on my bike ... been on about 7 months now

The K-Edge is pretty exspensive but I do like their stuff. When I got my Ultimate I got the Dymoece version for $25

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081S3C8ZH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No longer available

You will need to buy M4-0.7 x 16mm screws, since the included ones are either too big or too long, can't remember. I went to a local hardware store and guy kindly just gave me too. I later found out my dad had a whole box of them which he gave me

Honestly IMO there all the same. You could even probably 3D print one if you had the time and resources

I got the K-Edge mount from Amazon for my Ultimate. It seemed a little expensive, but it does work perfectly. Mega stable, and I never have to think about it at all. I think I needed to use my own screws, but that was the only minor hiccup. Some day an alternative will probably pop up on AliExpress, but this one lines up perfectly and is rock solid.

I got these ones and worked very well: SKS Bluemels 75 U Long Mudguard Set 27.5-29". The only additional step was to fit the front fender with these two additional pieces. No issue on the rear wheel and there's plenty of clearance between the wheel and fender.

I went with the oLight RN 1500

https://www.olightstore.ca/rn1500.html

It uses a standard Garmin mount, so I picked up a dual mount for the integrated bars

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081S3C8ZH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

I have the K-Edge Garmin mount which is better quality, but the one I bought does support the bottom light and apparently you can't upgrade it to support it so I guess it's just going to sit in the box now.

This is the one I’m eyeballing for when I can get my Grizl.

Blackburn Outpost Top Tube Bike Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GC81X8Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_S9079K044970MXGQ8GNZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I gave up on a mounted option and went with this instead. Granite Rockband Mountain Bike... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078HYF1ZX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I realize now it would be very hard to squeeze a normal tube with tire levers and a CO2 inflator into that spot between the top tube and down tube. I strap my roll to the top side of the top tube where it meets the seat tube.

Let me know if you find anything better!

Not sure the need for a kickstand anymore I know some prefer one . For gravel bike or mountain bike that you plan on riding off-road or maybe some easy single track I would advise against it due to the fact the kick stand could get caught on something . If it’s for storing the bike while it’s not in use there’s plenty of cheap bike stands to put the bike in.

Feedback sports rack stand

I have a '20 Spectral AL size M and use this Lezyne Side Load Cage and was using a Camelbak 21 oz Podium water bottle (which has actually been recalled), but it it fit fine, just not a ton of extra room.

I couldn't figure it out with the canyon adapter, which is OOS anyway, so I got this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08833Q81X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_QFYK4GM94T1DBD763DZ8

I run a niterider headlight off the GoPro mount below the head unit, works great

Got this for my Ultimate with H36. Both fit nicely.
