Is it worth upgrading to the new GX AXS transmission from the XT? I'm thinking mainly to save me mullering things when shifting and enabling me to shift under load.
And is it best to get the groupset with or without the GX cranks? (Is there any benefit vs the standard cranks?) I guess even...
Can't remember now, but in fairness it did sit there doing nothing for a few days then suddenly there was a flurry of activity and it arrived within a couple of days.
Mine is the CFR, and in my experience also has issues.
A chip on the chainstay, hole in the paint in a bolt hole and generally not all that strong. Some clear coat peeled off just trying to Invisiframe it and there are other areas where it's not ideal.
I think carbon bikes must be harder to...
Yeah, the paint quality isn't great. Had a few issues with mine and Canyon are never particularly accommodating with sorting it. Either you have to return the bike and wait until they have them back in stock, or put up with it. They don't give you much choice outside of that.
I remember never servicing anything when I was a kid. It never even occurred to us.
I'd change brake blocks and fiddle endlessly with the positioning of my Magura HS33's, but I never bled them. I'd change a gear cable when it was knackered and oil the chain, but the chain was mostly filthy...
