Dear Paul, Thank you for your answer. I will consider as well that option. Apart from the wheel set I mentioned above (ER 1400) I am as well learning about Chinese sellers like Light Bicycle and Farsports. Any of you…
Hello all, I know this topic has been already discussed in this forum. However, I would like to raise this specific question. In my Canyon Grail I have mounted the original wheels which are the Swiss C1850 Spline with…
Hello Chas!! Thanks a lot for your answer! Yes, I was thinking as well about the Inflite, but I decided to go for the Grail finally 🙂 About the stem, that is what I am thinking, to increase it a little bit from 80 to…

Hi!! I promise I will upload some photos as soon as I have the bike! 🙂 But, I will receive it at the end of September... not a big problem for me because I will be on holidays in September. I hope it is a good…
Hello!! Well, finally I bought my new Grail 7.0 Al. I think it was the first bike I was interested on. The price matches with my budget and I will not need to spend more money... I was thinking as well about the new…
Hello!! I was a little bit frustrated because I was decided to buy a canyon grail 7.0 and when I realized they were in stock around 1 week ago, they were sold out in a few hours. I was too late... incredible. So I…
