can anyone who has had a canyon delivered recently comment on whether or not any extra parts are included, I know the torque wrench and shock pump are but do they include extras specific to the components such as UST valves for mavics/ bleed kit for the reverb etc?

Just got my Spectral 8.0 EX silver delivered yesterday Smile Not at home at moment so can't check, do the frame size stickers and mountain bike category stickers peel off easily? Going to invisiframe it his week so need to get them off first.

Pictures to follow when it's ready to go!! Roll on the weekend!!

Yeah they peel off no problem buddy. Just do it methodically.

Guys!

I've got a problem:
I don't know to whitch setup should i stick, 210mm 64°(low) or 210mm 65°(high).

I want my DHX to be more sensitive and plush on roots and rock. I love the feel of not feeling whats underneath you when riding Smile

I would be grateful if someone could help me! Smile

going to a softer spring would be your best bet.

I usually run 185/low on my FRX to keep it a bit more lively but still stable. I don't think there's any difference in how sensitive the suspension is between high and low

I don't think it's a good idea :/. I've got 450 lbs spring and my weight is 86kgs including gear, so I'm basicialy bottoming out everywhere.

Thought I would post here as I used this thread to help me make my decision between a strive or spectral.

I originally ordered a Spectral 7.0 ex in December to arrive in mid March but changed last month to the strive Al 6.0 race as it was in stock and I was going out with guys with 160 mm travel bikes and they were loving theirs.

So glad I did change. It's amazing!

After they dispatched it, it came within 2 days to me (scotland). Only ever used a XC hard tail so the difference in speed and control is huge. The bike gives you the confidence to do road gaps and anything. It's really agile and grippy in the muddy enduro trails.

The shapeshifter is brilliant, worked straight away at 13 bar. XC mode is great, can get up 25% climb fairly straight forward, downhill mode feels rubbish compared and bouncy when climbing.

Over the moon with it and the size small fits me perfectly. I'm 166cm btw.

Only downsides have been the top tube came with a few scratches in delivery. The paint work can be scratched easily as well but it's a mountain bike so I don't care too much.
