    Hi all,

    I purchased my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX last year and I didn’t realise that it was possible to swap the integrated bar and stem for a different size.

    I assume there is a time limit (which, I assume I’m well past now) to swap the bars with Canyon.

    Anyone know?

    Cheers 🙂

    I ought to also point out

    I ought to also point out that I’m more than happy to buy from my LBS (only when they’ve got offers on though!). The obvious benefit of my LBS is when I’ve bought a frame/wheels whatever from them, they are more than happy to do small things like put in the press-fit BB free of charge.

    Probably also helps that my other half works in the shop and on the occasions that I pick her up from work I bring cake for everyone in the shop 😀

    I’ve found Canyon absolutely great to deal with, to be honest. Really easy to sort things out and their customer service was fantastic for me. My bike turned up on my door within 5 days of ordering,

    As it is, I was stupid enough not to read that I could replace my bars and stem free. Instead, I managed to buy my preferred size of integrated bar/stem combo reduced in a sale and sold my old one which just about covered the cost.

    My other half works at a Trek approved bike dealership. If you buy a Madone from them with an integrated bar/stem, there is no way at all to replace the bar/stem size, without buying an entirely new one. So Canyon beats the LBS in that regard.

    It just seems to appear that some people vent their frustration about Canyon on forums because they haven’t got an LBS to moan at. And believe me, some customers at bike shops complain about absolutely ridiculous things.

    I’m biased because my Endurace arrived on the promised day, in first-class condition and proved to be a remarkable buy.  The Ultegra based spec’ would have cost five or six hundred quid more from any of the big names and nothing has broken, worn out or squeaked.  Would I buy from them again?  In an instant.

    When I order something from an online shop I know it won’t be straighforward if I encounter a problem but I’m saving a lot of money to take that risk.  If you want LBS service, the remedy is in your hands.

    My recent experience has been great. Bike arrived within a week. Box damaged in transit and a small rubber cover missing…they sent me two replacements and refunded the cost of the box no question.

    And I got an amazing bike a lot cheaper and lighter than normal branded bikes (ultimate sl disc)

    You pays her money. Best bike I yet ridden!

    Keep in mind that Canyon will

    Keep in mind that Canyon will not swap any parts in the United States.  After reading reviews I was under the assumption that I could swap the cockpit to get the correct fit, but that’s not true here.  The support people made all kinds of excuses (i.e. need money to change website (!?) and finance dept won’t give it).  They even admitted that the website was misleading.  So many excuses, no actual service.  So the bike goes back to Canyon.

    So does anyone want a Canyon H36 aerocockpit with a 100mm stem and 410mm bar width for £250? haha…

     

    Hi, Wellsprop,

     

    Do you still have the cockpit, I could be interested. 

    Sorry, for the delay, didn’t realise this thread was still alive!

    Yes I do, H36 100 stem and 410 wide bars, they retail at just over £360, mines immaculate and has only been ridden for 500 miles – I’ll do £250 (+ postage).

     

     

    I have already bid on a new set on eBay auction finishing Sunday night, if I don’t get them for less I will happily take yours for £250 + postage, if agreeable with you. 

    Sounds good to me, I’ll keep an eye on this thread… Good luck bidding 🙂

     

    I missed the auction, too busy setting up my old bike for the other half! they went for about 235. 

    Please email me at ddavis802 at gmail dot com and we can finalise. 

    Email sent yes

That said, I’ve changed my stem size twice since then so maybe I’m better off than I would have been.

    This is why I’m rather peeved. When I purchased the bike, I my only other option was 390 width with 90mm stem – no good for my gangly arms.
