Can those with the 2016 Shapeshifter comment on its reliability please...Im currently waiting for my 2016 Strive CF 9.0 team but have heard mixed things about the 2016 and hope Canyon have actually fixed the original problems!

Had my strive since January 16. Works perfectly still. (Touch wood)

Hold tight my friend... you will love the bike! I have 2015 cf 9.0 Team and had issues with the SS as soon as I got it home from the factory. Replaced it with the 2016 SS model in Jan and it hasn't failed since.

I need replacement bearings in the main pivot of my strive. And i thought i should replace the rest of my bearings too.

Has anyone purchased one of these kits?

It seems to be a better deal than buying each bearing separately.

Hi, I got this kit for my strive a few months ago and would recommend. seemed like a very reasonable price for the full set and all good quality bearings. fitted them easily and bike running sweet since. the only tough ones to change are the chainstay/seatstay ones as have to pull them out each side.

I'm interested to know Joes head angle, those angle adjust headsets add 10mm under the head tube, that alone make it the same slackness* as a 180mm fork plus what ever offset the headset has. Even with just -1 degree he should be rocking 64 degrees.

*not sure slackness is a real word.

Here it's some spec from 2017 Strive. No prices and other specs for now. maybe in days... no coil also
