Hey zusammen,

ich fahre ein Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 in Größe M. Ich bin 177 cm groß und habe eine Schrittlänge von 83 cm. Canyon empfiehlt mir laut Größenrechner eigentlich Größe S.

Damals war die Größe S allerdings nicht lieferbar, deshalb habe ich mich damals für Größe M entschieden.

Was meint ihr: Kann man so etwas mit einem guten Bike Fitting und eventuell Anpassungen wie einem anderen Lenker oder Cockpit noch sinnvoll ausgleichen, oder werde ich langfristig vermutlich doch eher auf einen Rahmen in Größe S wechseln müssen?

Hat jemand von euch schon einmal eine ähnliche Erfahrung gemacht und ein Rad leider eine Nummer größer gekauft, als eigentlich passend gewesen wäre? Konntet ihr das noch gut anpassen oder hat es sich am Ende trotzdem nie ganz richtig angefühlt?

Und meint ihr, ein professionelles Bike Fitting lohnt sich in so einem Fall noch, oder wird man damit am Ende trotzdem keine wirklich optimale Sitzposition hinbekommen, wenn der Rahmen eigentlich zu groß ist?

Danke euch für eure Einschätzung!

Hey everyone,

I’m riding a Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 in size M. I’m 177 cm tall with an inseam of 83 cm, and Canyon actually recommends size S for me.

At the time I bought the bike, size S wasn’t available, so I ended up going with the M instead.

Do you think a proper bike fit and maybe changes like a different handlebar or stem setup could make the larger frame work well enough, or would I realistically be better off moving to a size S frame?

Has anyone here had a similar experience and ended up buying one size larger than what was actually recommended? Were you able to make it work properly, or did it still never feel quite right even after adjustments?

Also, do you think a professional bike fit is worth trying in this case, or is it unlikely to fully fix the position if the frame is simply too big?

Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone,

I’m riding a Canyon Grail AXS 8 that weighs around 8 kg stock. I’d like to shave off some weight and I’m currently wondering whether it makes more sense to invest in meaningful upgrades or just move to a different bike altogether.

I’ve already upgraded the wheels to Zipp 303 XPLR SW, so that part is done.

From your experience, which components are actually worth upgrading if the goal is weight reduction? What parts would save the most weight in a way that still makes sense in terms of cost and performance?

Or do you think there’s not much meaningful weight left to save on this bike, and that at some point it would make more sense to upgrade to a new bike with a lighter frame/platform instead?

Would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
