Agree with the Spectral being a great bike, that being said, I am going to update my previous post regarding Canyon's support for U.S. customers, I've been down 2 months now due to parts being unavailable, ZERO response from Canyon since my last communication with their customer service dept in November. I was told a supervisor would reach out and that has not happened. Extremely disappointed with Canyon, simply no excuse. The parts in question are the cheap "plastic" headset parts that should be metal, out of stock and no word on when they'll be in stock. They sent me to a 3rd party mfg in Germany for metal replacements that don't fit and no other options.... Hopefully someone at Canyon reads this and gets off their a** and takes care of their customer.
Dude hit up ACROS. They are incredible at getting you the parts you need really quick. I was in the exact same boat as you, ACROS was out of stock for the aluminum one, but a guy named Tobias found one for me and just asked for me to pay shipping. Got it in less than a week. I know it's frustrating and Canyon should handle it, but ACROS is awesome and you could've been back on bike weeks ago. I even have a spare I can give you!

Hello anyone know why my bicycle even on a low gear it feels hard to pedal and my first few pedals feel stiff . Could anyone help me please with fixing this
Giant sells defective bikes then refuses to replace parts. Wife has liv intrigue x bought it from local shop. Immediately found defective rear brake. Rear $$2000TRX (giant brand) wheel wont’t hold air LBS couldn’t fix and had bad bearing in hub. (See TRX reviews to see it). 1 year later still not fixed. Will never buy anything from giant again. Also. Ya’ll need to do complete reviews. Giant sells a $600 extender. Then charges $250 for a battery charger ($750 for battery extender? On a $12,000 bike that already has half the battery and 3 year old spec? Please. Being they are the largest company and latest to the ebike game you’d think they would have looked an specialized. With a single charger for both batteries. Lower cost chargers(specialized is like $50)? If your gonna rip off customers give them no support or repairs and ir warranty support. You can’t charge top dollar on mediocre spec. As for is this battery to power and wieght ration the sweet spot. I think so. Does it ride great. Meh…. My repeater and relay are superior. And if had to choose would buy a real bike from and real bike company not so corporate conglomerate that need a new CEO. ASAP. Giant / LIV = garbage. Do not buy one. Ever.
Can you just write the result or make timecode. Why should I watch 2 hours of pointless bla-bla-bla? Pinkbike is becoming just waste of time content...
Bronson?!? Really!? Dude. Santa cruz fan club. Giant fan club? Sponsors list please. ????? Dude. Really? Did you ride a sentinel or a smuggler? Please stand by for a word from our sponsors.

bro why you buy a canyon in the first place :D you live, you learn
Commencal has always treated me decent.
Nice thing about buying a bike from a shop is they take care of that part.
What headset parts in particular? I too have a Canyon Spectral and there isn't anything there that can't be sourced from a different company.

Loving the heavy breathing in my ears, really gets me in the mood.
lmao
I’m keen to try the new Stumpjumper 😉
I personally love all the content
Surprised the Commencal supreme didn’t make the list, they loved it
rigged much.. best bike of the year no other stood out the same
A lot of cracked frames ?
Amazing bike? Absolutely. But it wasn’t released in 2024.
With or without cracks?

Canyon were great but the customer service is such a shame in germany!

Love all the shows but is it just me or did this show morph into a pinkebike episode?
