Where are you based? I had a totally different experience. Completed my purchase on Thurs 01st and UPS didn't seem to get it until Monday and it was immediately marked as delayed and has sat in Frankfurt ever since.
Yeah, I am based in Germany so that's a home game for Canyon. Still, logistics have improved massively over my first experience with them (1o years ago).
I like the dropper, no problems so far. I often read bad things about sram brakes but personally I can live with almost any of the strong brakes of either manufacturer although usually I like Magura most. But I will stick to the db8 since I also like their kind of “raw” look.
I was aware of this when buying spectral but it is unnoticeable, don't hear it at all. I also do not notice more pedal strikes according to my previous analog bike. But in near future I may consider to swap crank arms for 160mm.
Don't say that, my Strive is in picking now
I'll just keep repeating to myself, Spectral-Bad, Strive-Good...Soon it will arrive and you will wonder why it was such a difficult decision - the strive is awesome, you will have lots of fun with it.Don't say that, my Strive is in picking now
Yes, you can adjust the assistance (at least on my Giant e-bike and I'm sure you can on the Strive).
For me taking out the headset bearing exactly same job as on bike with "normal" cable routing. it's a 10 minute job max to take them out and back on.
I don't know if we are talking about same thing...
Happened to my canyon road bike on the first rideHi folks, hope you're enjoying your Strive:ONs
Just remember to check if your cranks are tightened properly
The left crank on mine just came loose today on the trail; fortunately, I caught it early and tightened it.
It turned out that the drive-side crank was also loose.
I contacted Canyon, and they admitted they knew about the problem (sic!). They asked me to contact them through the website so that they could somehow fix the problem.
Hopefully, they send me the washer I lost because of that

Yes I have spectral: on, I haven't done any headset bearing service yet, as bike is fairly new but I know sooner or later I will have to replace it.
So there are 3 cables that are routed through upper headset bearing: derailleur-shifter cable, rear brake (hydro cable) and dropper cable. *there is also 4th cable (steps screen) but it can be easily disconnected.
To take out upper bearing completely you need take out shifter and dropper cable then unbolt hydro cable from the rear brake lever.
After replacing bearing obviously you need to put all together, dropper, shifter cable, set shifting and bleed brake. This is time consuming much more than it is on a bike with "classic" cable routing where cables go through ports behind headset usually on the down tube. I know that's not something you do once a month but still, for me I would prefer classic cable routing where cables don't go through headset bearing but nowadays almost every brand using headset routing
You don't need to remove any cable.I don't know if we are talking about same thing...

What, they all stay aligned still?
The Invisiframe was actually not as bad as I feared,best job I've made of one so far & it seemed easier than I remember, even did the Zebs,although I was left alone most of the day,which always helps.
I think maybe the big square down tube might help. And it’s quite a light colour, which may also help. My Spectral was black and showed up every imperfection. I also ordered the Fox 38 kit. Last time I even did my cranks!
Not sure on the battery - I think it’s just 625 or 750.
Yep,that's correct the rims come ready to run tubeless,just need to add valves & sealant.
Let us know why you find for a downtube protector, will definitely be needing one of those.
