I`m thinking of buying a Strive Cf frame too, but still no luck with a sh one...so they are still rare, as many more were sold! but still wanting one...more pictures with your bike will be a blast

I was putting my Strive on the bike rack yesterday and I noticed that there was a layer of oil around the Monarch's rebound adjustment knob area. Is this normal?

Hey Guys,

Planning to get a Canyon so I guess this is the right place to ask if anyone is running a setup similar to my requirements.

Usua0lly I commute on my single speed but recently got a gas for jump bikes.
Now I live in India and there are literally no dirt/jump tracks around so all I want to do is dick around on the bike and take it to a trail ride once in a while and use it everyday and hopefully improve my riding skills.
I own a full sus Ghost for the Trail riding/XC stuff.

I really like the Canyon stitched 360 so was hoping to get it and upgrade it with a dropper post and add a 1x10 group set or something.
Is it a bad idea?

Any other bike recommendations for this purpose?
Something nimble but easy to commute/pedal.

Thanks!

hey, while I really like the stitched myself and may I even get one soon, I think it is too much of a pure street bike to suit your needs, in particular it's gonna be hard to find a dropper post in that diameter (27.2) and I don't think its rear hub or even the frame can accomodate a transmission with gears.

I suggest you look into the Dartmoor range (tough and affordable bikes), a Hornet or a Hornet 4X built with 26' wheels would suit you well (https://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=100473)

Hi, I am just about to pull the trigger for a 2016 Canyon Strive CF 9.0 Race. However, after reading about SS issues I need more feedback on the SS.

Are there any engineering changes or product improvements on the 2016 SS?

How many shredders out there facing the SS issues?

Anyone knows the failure rate of the SS?

I am hoping it is just a few lemons out there.

Looking forward.

My SS is not working but i dont really use it anyways. I ride 90% down hill and the bike is so good that i have sold my DH bike now. I ride everything from single track to big drops and park jumps and the bike just sucks it all up. Even without the SS in XC mode the bike pedals very well and i prefer pedaling in the DH mode anyways.

This bike is such good value for money, cant go wrong.

it's most certainly the old model, they even had those discounted in the recent sale so they have no shortage. hopefully 2017 strive will have 150mm drops now that they're available in 30.9 diameter again

150mm won't be enough?
