Hey everyone,
I’m riding a Canyon Grail CF 7 in size XS and I’m trying to figure out if the fit is right or if I should have gone for an S.
My stats:
- Height: 173 cm
- Inseam: 81 cm
What I’m noticing:
- I feel quite compressed in the cockpit
- My back tends to round instead of staying flat
- I have some pressure on my hands
- I already pushed the saddle all the way back on the rails
From the side, it kind of looks like I’m both:
- slightly reaching forward, but also
- folded/closed at the hips
I haven’t flipped the stem yet or added spacers (planning to try that next).
Questions:
- Does this sound like the bike is too small (especially low in stack)?
- Would a size S likely be a better fit for my proportions?
- Anyone similar height riding XS vs S on the Grail?
Appreciate any input 🙏
