A Öhlins RXF38 M.2 on its way to replace the Fox 38 factory on my Canyon Torque ON

I did get the clamp with my Spectral ON CFR LTD.

I think I need to wear a FF more often. Most of the time I wear a POC Tectal or Kortal (trail helmet) Only when I go to a bike park I wear a FF (POC Otocon) because this is mandatory.

Exchanged the Rockshox Reverb AXS 170mm for an KS LEV Circuit 200mm dropper.

Most of the new drivetrain isn't backward compatible, due to the T-Type chain and cassette design, but the cranks and chainring will work with non-T-Type Eagle chains Short answer: NO ;-)

New Magura brake hose. Fresh Shimano oil. The old brake hose had a small leak. Bike ready for the trails for this weekend ;-)

No is not working ;-) You need a T-Type 10-52t cassette/chain/chainring

On the Canyon Spectral ON I have the Rockshox super deluxe flight attendant. Nice damper. I have better experience with the FOX float X Factory that I use on my trail bike. The FOX X2 Factory came with my Torque ON. Very nice damper for setting up and also did feel very nice on the rides I did...

Fit is a personal thing. I have a pair of Endura MT500 D3O Knee pads. I personally do not find them comfortoble. I have two pair of FOX Enduro Pro. They will do the job for me. Comfortable enough and enough protection (so far)

Some shots from local (unofficial) trails. Where we just build some small fun drops and gaps.

When you only ride asphalt roads and gravel. When I look at Canyon. Then I first would look at Grand Canyon ON and when you think you really need full suspension Neuron ON. The last one feels for me like overkill.

I would not use the bike for commuting. I have a Spectral ON CFR LTD & Torque ON CF. Really enjoy the bikes on the trails and Bike parks in Germany. I'm fan of the mullet setup. For me the bikes are a bit more agile. When you are going to use the bike mainly for commuting and gravel roads...

Same issue here on 3 AXS XX1 mechs. Loctite 243 did fix the job ;-) On two bikes switched to T-Type Transmission.

Will work. Not as you have hoped for ;-) Older AXS will mix with Shimano Hyper hyperglide+. SRAM AXS Transmission is not working optimal when mixing. Did try to use my wheels with SRAM XX T-Type cassette on my older bike with XX1 AXS and it was not working properly. Even after B-Tension etc...

On my Canyon Spectral ON and Torque ON I had to lift the motor to get the hose through the frame. Both bikes had a heat shield around the hose. I did gut the hose on the brake lever site. Then mounted a Park Tool cable routing guide. Pulled the hose through the frame. Mounted the new brake...
