Thanks for the story! Just a quick comment/suggestion: I used to ride with custom-made lined bifocals with a reading area of 6mm, roughly 1/4 inch; I experimented with tape on the lenses to get the smallest useable area…
I have them on my commuter bike, using them with Tektro in-line brake levers and JuinTech GT. In-line levers save my ass at least once a week in the city; hard to find a mechanical 11 speed set up to accommodate them,…

I am having a similar problem installing Sensah on my custom Waltly. LBS says it's a Sensah issue and that Shimano SRAM etc won't have this problem, so instead of sending the hanger back to Waltly for a regrind, I've…
Thank you all for your responses. Amy at Waltly and I went a couple of rounds on this; it comes down to a misunderstanding over the word "compatible." I said I wanted DI2 compatible routing, and they interpreted that as…

Putting together my custom Waltly build. LBS says that the holes are drilled too small and the bike is impossible to wire because of the angles involved. The bike is supposed to be set up for internal wiring with DI2…
If I'm going hard for more than four hours, I'll take salt tablets (Thermotab, Saltstick, etc) starting in the second or third hour depending on distance and temperature. I think it's the same effect, but I find that…
Thanks all for replying. Yeah, the Grail 2XS and XS are designed for 650B wheels, so that's what I'm planning to use. 650B should be what was used to calculate the trail, but I will have to confirm that. I have a pretty…
I’m getting a custom ti frame that I want to match the Canyon Grail (size XS) as closely as possible. However, since Canyon doesn’t publish its fork specs, I’ve had a lot of problems with the design. The builder’s…

Bottom bracket offset is consistent, XXS-XS 60, all other sizes 75. Mudge wrote: Really high BB??
Yeah, that builder says to go with 120, but I have been just trying to eliminate this lingering doubt. Anyway, I appreciate the response, thanks! Konass wrote: Yep, I think you could intuitively guess that it is going…
I figured it was a misprint or that the XS and S numbers have been swapped, but there have been so many reviews of the bike with so many reposts of the geometry that I can't believe it hasn't been caught by now... Mudge…

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it--I'm new to the game--but I can't figure out how to move it or delete it, and double posting also seems kind of lame:-(
I'm getting a custom ti frame based on Canyon's Grail (aluminum--the CF grail has different dimensions because of the two-tier handlebar). These are the published head tube lengths: 2XS: 117mm XS: 133mm S: 124mm M:…
