Elastic strip on headlight on the lower bar. I use cygo-lite dash pro 600. Be seen , see in a pinch, cheap, lasts long. If you’re going to do nighttime commuting you need more
Did it arrive? When it does show pix in its natural habitat.
Wow, I had no idea you could even purchase a second battery. I'm not sure if I would want to carry one on my back anyway...lol...
I tried to purchase a separate cover but none available. I have done several long rides (80 miles) with the exposed battery and it works fine. The cover is a splash guard, not waterproof. I think it’s fine without a cover unless you’re in heavy rain/deep puddles. I carry the second battery in a saddle bag under/behind the seat. Works fine don’t even notice it’s there
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll buy a battery and not worry too much about the lack of cover. What saddle bag do you use?
Rhinowalk 5L on Amazon. Works perfecy
Holy cow! That bag really sticks out of the saddle...
i’m trying to buy the battery cover from Canyon since April. Still not available. I just taped a piece of plastic on the bottom of the battery as a splash guard. If I do a long ride I put the spare battery in an old Camelback. It is well padded and I have no discomfort carrying the battery on my back. I managed to ride twice 100 miles over an undulating terrain on one battery charge. I really love this bike. The only problem I have is a squeaky seat post. I pulled it out at least 5 times and lubed it with a carbon grease. It helps only for a couple of days. Anyone has a remedy for this problem ?
Creaking seat post; I called Canyon and they said it never happened to anybody else and said it was because I exceeded the 100 kg weight limit (I don't). Anyway. I tried lubing with "wet" lube (tri-flow) and it stopped the squeaking for a couple of days, Then I tried assembly compound (gritty grease) and it didn't work. Finally I completely disassembled BOTH parts of the seat post and coated everything thoroughly in Phil Wood bicycle grease and it has been about 3 months with no creaking. Good luck and don't bother asking for any tech support; no matter what your problem they will say it is user error and not covered by warranty.
This is the problem when you hire inexperienced customer service reps. That Canyon rep should have said they would research instead of blaming you for the issue. Onto your issue, I thought we weren't supposed to use regular 'lube' for the carbon seatpost? I probably would have cleaned the post thoroughly with alcohol and then applied assembly paste, liberally.
I completely disassembled the seat post and lubed it with carbon grease 3 times. It helped for about a week. I give up and get a different seat post. I weigh 155 lb well below the 100 kg seat post limit. Besides the seat post this is a really good bike
Use regular grease in between the leaves of the seat post. Carbon grease creaks.
