2020 Canyon Spectral:ON Chainring Options

[Trailblazer7]

I want to replace the 34T chainring on my 2020 Spectral ON:CF 7.0 with a 36T (wanting more top speed on flats, etc.). Any advice regarding compatible chainrings would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There are a few options out there, I run a Funn steps specific chainring, thats a one piece design - to install it you have to to remove the crank and old spider. E13 also make a direct mount option.

223MM FTW for car park steeeeezzzeee offs - nothing says business more than 223mm when I am pulling my Vitus out fo my Smart car.

Any chairing of the correct specification will work, EMTB specific ones tend to be steel or stronger built to deal with the motors power. Before installing the Funn I ran a non EMTB specific, i.e normal Hope 36t chainring, with no issues.

I dont think the chain ring is the issue... you need to put some air in that rear tire and you will go faster!

I thought about going to 36t but didn't bother. If you do you'll probably have to remove the chain guide, or I drilling it a suitable new bolt hole probably wouldn't be that hard.

Yep! The DHR II on the rear is toast (nice hole by one of the knobs). Waiting on new Schwabe Eddy Current tires to show up. The Maxxis DHR II tires Canyon is putting on these E-MTB are frankly crap for an E-MTB. Maxxis needs to make the DD version in the the 2.6" and 2.8" width.

Is it not adjustable on the canyon?

Definitely don't want to deal with having to modify. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated!

Thanks. Think I'll just stick with the 34T then.

Kidding aside I dont know why eMTBs come stock with small chain rings. I am currently riding a specialized that I swapped out the stock 32t ring with a 38t. I find that I am now using more of my gear range rather than staying in the 10t sprocket all the time. As long as you use a narrow-wide chainring running without a chain guide shouldnt be a problem.

I tried to get a replacement 34T Canyon ON chainring direct from Canyon. I was told that it wasn’t possible?! I still can’t believe that they go to the trouble of making there own brand chainring and don’t allow you to buy a replacement? It’s a consumable part!!! Mines pretty much done at 2500miles and Ive had to get the standard Shimano replacement. Why not just fit it in the first place???

Canyon wouldn't let me buy a second battery cover when I took their offer of a second battery at 10% off. Nice bike but I don't think I'll buy Canyon again.

The best thing I have found to do is ring the UK office direct and speak to someone. I have had excellent customer service with a warranty issue recently. I also got a load of issues and questions answered that had been bugging me for a while.
