    I don't recommend canyon, but it is not unmanageable. Just obnoxious for a new buyer.

    There is a lot of value in having a local shop responsible for your ebike. With canyon, you are their quality control. If you stay with canyon: take lots of reference pictures from all angles. I would also retorque (and loctite as appropriate) every bolt you can access. Make reference marks...

    Those floors look rather nice, so I guess the first question is how dedicated of an apparatus are you "allowed" to create, given where you use it?

    I rented that same rav4 in Norway, it was pretty capable in the switchbacks and had amazing fuel efficiency (compared to my tundra haha). That tool chest on the back wall must have been a serious investment- probably 50x the value of the stuff I would put in it!

    emtb workstation ideas

    Dont worry, I have one of those too. Also added a pretty giant ceiling fan, and an electric heater on a swingarm that can be pointed directly where I am working so I dont have to wait for the whole room to heat up. Also, my shopvac and compressor are in the next garage and their hoses pass thru...

    There is a beer fridge in that garage as well, which can be counterproductive

    😀 Anytime she is about to throw something into the trash, I snatch it up and find an eventual use for it. It is amazing how many problems you can solve with "junk."

    Friends, the point of this thread is to steal YOUR ideas, not defend proven methods at my garage 😆. If there is anything in my setup I think you should steal from me, it is the ultrasonic cleaner. Just turn it on, walk away, spin the chain, walk away, done!

    Sram says our quicklinks are single use (my lbs disagrees). I use this to deep clean the chain without wasting a link (when i finally break a link, it becomes a trail spare). 99% of the time, this a parking/charging station, resting statically on the slats

    I am definitely aware of the shin slashing potential, haha. So far so good.

    Interested in everyone's approach to a maintenance station, so I can steal your ideas. Here's mine: Wheeled engine hoist (leftover from moto racing) for which emtb weight is nothing. Added slats at bottom to rest tires upon. Ziptied charger to hoist arm. Wheeled table can slip under the rear...

    Clarification on battery ziptie

    Didnt find the thread describing the specific approach- is it a long series of zipties reaching all the way around the back of the upper battery connector, and then down to the battery latch? Something more efficient? Thx

    Strive:ON problems

    Quantity pricing, availability guarantees, and warranty parameters are all negotiation topics that canyon and bosch would have had, as industry professionals.

    Strive:ON problems

    I wouldnt recommend this bike to anyone. These problems are an inexcusable waste of new owners' resources. An incredibly lame flaw that doesnt get enough attention is that the maximum chainring size is insufficient except for the weakest/slowest riders, and there is nothing we can do about it.

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    My footage from the ebike class at an mtb race in Virginia yesterday. Sorry about the squeaking, I think that is the tiny sound of the rubber bands on the gopro mount (extra stabilizing tension). Catching lapped traffic was rough on this course, it likes to feign space and then snatch it away...

    2024 Strive:ON

    Thanks for the details and images, I hope my forearm doesnt need to fit up the frame to do any of this.. My annoyance with Canyon is piling up. Designing and manufacturing a full sus carbon ebike clearly requires intelligence, so why do we have to fix dumb stuff?

    2024 Strive:ON

    How many bolts hold the upper bracket? 2 on the underside and a tiny one on the top?

    I am going to have to try this pre-emptively with some dense foam tucked along the battery sides. Thanks for the awareness
