will I die?
It's safe to assume so at some point, but your tyre & rim combination probably wont be the cause.
Dogs-
Haha I think you might be right on the first point. As to the second, fingers crossed.
Will add some pics later!
Also, just ordered some Pelago black fenders to fit once complete.
Final piece of the puzzle is bag/rack combo. Still not sure on front rack with rando bag (and which one), or a Carradice or similar with a bagman support. Or something different. Tricky

So this is slowly coming together, brakes are fitted but the back wheel doesn't sit in the dropout due to the disc hitting the back of the caliper - obviously needs some different kind of adapter.
Can't work out how to run gear cables through the frame as doesn't seem as if we were provided with any cable guides with the frame.
Chainset is in, put new tyres on the wheels from the Canyon. The wheels are 622x18 and state a max size of 35 tyre. I've put 38mm GK slick on and they look alright, will I die? Took a lot of cursing and sore thumbs to get them on.
