You've probably decided already, but I went through the same dilemma over the summer and I'm now totally happy with 52/36 and a 28 on the rear. This was fine in the Alps and I am by no means a powerful / good rider, wasn't even really mashing up the climbs. Took a bit of getting used to overall after a couple of years of 50/34 11-25 but the inches work out as broadly similar I think. I prefer it now.

Not sure if it says on Canyon but it might be worth asking if the rear mech is long cage - the short cage ones are a bit limiting on cassette size (I haz this issue with 5800).

Thanks pal. I haven't placed an order for anything yet, but it's always good to hear individual feedback, and it sounds like you were in a very similar position!

I believe the 6800 short cage has a max of 28t, while the long cage goes out to 32t, so should be fine with the short.

Thanks pal. I haven't placed an order for anything yet.

Best to be sure as sometime it take even till June for a model to be delivered.

Their site suggests delivery between February 22 - 27 for the Large Ultimate CF Aero in black/white if ordered today, so not that bad assuming those lead times don't randomly extend too often. But I wouldn't bet on it, so you're probably right!

Good choice. Ill probably go down the ultimate route also. Looks almost faultless for needs.

Did however see a mamil on an aeroad today and made me wants.

An Hour and counting listening to fuck awful hold music.

There is nothing attractive about spacer stack

Its alright when you cant see it

Had no idea it was this bad http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/canyon-promises-quick-solution-for-delays-that-have-left-customers-waiting-months-for-new-bikes-205800

Some poor sod on ww is waiting for his speedmax CF for a year now. Good in a way, gives you time to save the money ;)

This looks well tasty:

anyone know what the warranty policy is on a warranty replacement frame. I just cracked my second Ultimate CF pootling home and going over a little divot (not evena pothole). WTF!

Going Aluminium next time?

Take photos, and deal with them directly.

For best result, going via a LBS will yield a better result.

Hey guys, I'm just going to see what they say. This frame is only 6 months old (being NOS from 2012) so I hope they stand by my original warranty which goes till Oct 2017.

i need this i think

could be sooner than you think

if that isnt too expensive that is definitely something I would look into buying (how soon is soon)

edit: i also like how that looks in my size

Be prepared for a long wait. I found the seat tube of my 2015 CF SLX was cracked in Oct. They agreed to replace the frame, but are still unable to tell me when I can expect it back. Service has been a joke, they can't explain what's taking so long outside "we've had problems with the factory move". Good luck!

Long time lurker, but first post. Hi all.

These Canyons sound great. You have to wait ages for one and when you get it, it breaks.
