I always putt a layer of anti seize paste or grease to prevent galvanic corrosion between hanger and carbon frame. Everywhere where is carbon next to aluminium is increased chance of this corrosion.
Every time I watch your videos.. I get motivated to jump on my bike- and in any weather condition. For some reason your style and subject matter gets me motivated during times I’m feeling burned out.
To reduce the water ingress between the frame and the hanger, perhaps you could try applying a thin layer of grease on the derailleur hanger. Maybe something like Morgan Blue Aquaproof paste. I use this grease on my bikes when I'm doing my own maintenance on my bikes, I've used it for years and it's worked well for me.
@@fede1275Yes, that sounds sensible too. The hangers can have a tendency overtime to come loose as well. Anti seize (copper) grease could be used alternatively on the threads instead, where there's a risk of moisture ingress and corroding the bolts which then become stuck. Using the copper grease though would require periodic checking to make sure the bolts are still secure. Unlike using the thread lock adhesive instead which would keep the bolts secure.
That's a very good advice! Avoid lithium grease on your bikes and use an aluminum complex or calcium sulfonate based grease on your bikes. Lithium based grease seeps out with heat and water ingress and makes a real mess. I experienced disc brake pads contamination because of this type of grease. I now use a marine grade grease from Lucas and it's very resistant to water.
There something very wrong with those hangers if they disintegrate like that after 3 years. I’ve had original hangers on 2 of my bike for 12 and 13 years respectively that I only replaced last year. And I’m a 95kg rider who trains sprint intervals all of the time. Check out the BETD Components replacement hangers that are CNC machined in the UK and around half the price of what you bought. They have a range to fit Canyons.
Some of the best advice I got for cycling was to always have a spare hanger. I bent mine a day before a bucket list ride abroad. Having the spare in my saddle bag for over a year paid off. I’m so paranoid now that I carry 2 spares when I travel.
About your chain with sticky links that caused damage, I searched your videos and didn't see one on chain waxing. I'm thinking you don't wax? Every time you wax, you move each link before putting chain back on. This is very easy. you just pull the chain over a round object, like a dowel. I clamp a small piece of pipe in my vise and use that. It takes 30 seconds to do. No way sticky links get through a waxing process.
I haven't done a video on chain wax as I am super lazy and I have been using Squirt with good results. Unfortunately on the day I had the issue, the chain on the Velobuild had not been lubed up with Squirt as the workshop while setting up the gears had applied some dry lube before I could tell them not to. I left it like that as I had to degrease before applying Squirt. So when I went out in the rain I believe that this compounded the problem as the dry lube would have washed up quickly.
Federico, please tell me honestly, what gear front/rear combination do you usually use when riding on flat and good road? Just realistic and not wishful:). Thank you.
O fuck… man, you are a monster. With such a power you could keep up with professional team peloton. Have you noticed any specific exercise or other secret helping to develop more endurance power?
Thank you! I collaborate with Siroko, this jacket is called Territory from the Deep Winter line. Still needed as it was so cold in the morning. See the video description for info and discount link!
@@fede1275 Thanks! I even thought it must have been Siroko but while scrolling through their jackets I said "nah, it doesn't look like Deep Winter" 🙂Cheers!
I'm thinking about getting a pink segei for my supersix which is dark purple BTW and I was worried about its longevity, would you recommend and not just get one for the aesthetic?
“….it must be my power!” 😂😂😂. Every cyclists famous last words! 😁 I think things just wear out and sometimes for myriad reasons. For me tinkering with a bike is one of the most enjoyable parts of being a cyclist, I find it very therapeutic. I don’t enjoy some of the silly prices that certain companies try to get away with charging. Thank the Lord for the internet! Any new cycling adventures planned for this year Federico? Blessings from Dorset. Addio potente ciclista 😁😎👍🏻
@@fede1275 “I just being honest”😂😂😂 I want to go Mallorca myself. Sa Calobra looks very appealing. My best friend is moving to Rome to live. He said he wants to find himself a nice Italian wife. Do you have any tips??
Federico, I suggest smearing grease between the derailleur hanger and the frame in an effort to keep moisture out. I'm curious, what range cassette do you run on the Canyon? The reason I ask, is, I'm wondering if the hanger can be done away with all together. Or switch to an Ultegra/DA derailed. So long as there's sufficient clearance from the largest cog to the upper pulley, it should work. Attached is a TH-cam video from one of my favorite go to bike mechanics for reference. Not sure if this is helpful but may be. th-cam.com/video/leLqr1pvWkQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7w_Ema04_9FgRzfr
Mate that hanger is very skimpy looking for you MAMIL wattage. I have a similar problem except I actually crash a lot. Sending you some MAMIL love from a Brit in Berlin.
@@fede1275I've surpassed the MAMIL stage, I'm now officially at the.... Old Man On A Bike stage. I'm actually thinking about getting a nice set of lycras with Old Man On A Bike plastered all over. Shit, I'm 56 in April and I'm still crashing out in Berlins Forests, Skate parks and roads with total disregard for anyone's safety. ♥️😂
love some bling, but if the hanger is bending or breaking just riding around why not just buy the canyon ones ... looks like hanger No 35 for £23. you should only need to change it if you have a crash or incident of some kind...
Funny you should say this Fred as me too have recently suffered a broken hanger 😳..., literally was just cycling along happy as Larry & then "wham" hanger just snapped off on me, luckily i was not too far from home & now have to wait for a replacement part as i haven't one spare so as of now my Reacto is just collecting dust until such time 👊🏾👍🏾
@@fede1275 exactly my friend & the thing about it I thought that I'd be able to get one almost from any good bike shop which there are afew situated around where i live but no...,they tell me that where my Reacto is the limited edition 4000 disc 2020 my frame set is slightly different to the ones now so hence the slight difficulty in obtaining the correct hanger for mine., it's on order & hopefully by the end of this week im back on the road, bum in saddle happy day's 😎👊🏾👍🏾
Just get a standard strong rear hanger, you are an amateur, 50g difference vs your face plants if you crash into the floor or the back of a vehicle, only a suggestion
Pinarello gave a female TH-camr cyclist a bike .. I feel they’d get more out of it by throwing a Dogma your way too. It would make more sense to me- the perfect Italian combo.
Trust your instinct. The breakdown was because of "enormous power" as you said.👍
Of course it was!! 😀
I always putt a layer of anti seize paste or grease to prevent galvanic corrosion between hanger and carbon frame. Everywhere where is carbon next to aluminium is increased chance of this corrosion.

this is the second time you've given me good insights on this specific hanger, thank you!

Thread locker is glue. Grease avoids corrosion. Cake that shit with grease. Just make sure it doesn't get on the chain if you wax it

Federico, although it's heavy I am very happy with the cheap triban. Thank you and stay safe 🎉
Great bike, similar to the Merida Scultura 200 I had before.

I had one spare in my last trip, will take 2 now!!

@@fede1275 Ahh, that makes sense. Sorry you had your event screwed up because of it. Thanks for the reply.
I always say to the workshop whenever I need work that the chain is waxed. I have had good experiences with wax on now, 3 bikes.
Excellent...ty!
How about some more pink accents for that bike Fed? Maybe some bar tape or something more subtle like valve caps or brale pads
😊🖤🩷
Will think about it, like the details, but can't be too matchy matchy
Siroko! Looking sharp.
😊😊
Federico, please tell me honestly, what gear front/rear combination do you usually use when riding on flat and good road? Just realistic and not wishful:). Thank you.
On the flat 53 front and depending on speed between 11 and 14 at the back?

As you can see I like them even if longevity might not be the best. I would keep a spare one just in case.

I think the sigeyi website says you need to replace the hanger every year or so
Well spotted, I just checked and they say you need to clean it regularly and change after 2 years

I think you’ve been very unlucky Fede !! Maybe it is your massive power !! You might have to upgrade to aero space grade specific parts 💪🏾
I know, I will go with depleted uranium parts from now on...
Yes, I also keep breaking components due to my massive power. In all seriousness it does seem like things break all at the same time
Waves of good luck 😂

It is annoying that a small part can ground your bike as you need the exact replacement, not easy with so many different types.

How about 3D printing one?
Maybe with uranium?
Those canyon derailleur hangers are insultingly expensive. Would make me buy a new bike out of principle
I know 😖
Mainly watching the videos for the accent. 🇮🇹🇬🇧👌😉
I know, strong South London accent, I'm trying to get better 😂
Steel frames 531 12 speed down tube levers alloy bars stem dura ace 8 speed bomb proof old school
That's galvanic corrosion between carbon and aluminium. Aluminium by itself wouldn't corrode.
I said it was the power... LOL!
$38 for a hanger!!
I know! And I'm usually cheap
Too high watts man, metal frames will do 🤣🤣🤣
I know!!
Fede that jacket looks gangster: is it Siroko?
It is indeed, Siroko Deep Winter Territory jacket

You don't happen to make a habit of cross shifting are you? i.e. big ring front, big cog in the back?
Is there a big cog in the back??? 😂

They are all prone to break, it's the nature of the component
