two thinks I don’t like about this bike:
1. post-mount callipers, especially rear one placed out-side of rear triangle. I’m big fan of disk brakes, but i really don’t like esthetics of this solution. it’s so much cleaner when calliper is mounted inside rear triangle. Not saying about flat-mount, which is super awesome looking and easy to adjust. Small minus for Canyon.
2. more important than first = no through axles !! why ? canyon just released so beautiful disc road bikes, all with through axles. Those wheels might be super stiff, but with QR overall stiffness will be limited because of them. That is main reason not to buy this otherwise nice looking bike.
Being aluminium – is this a comfortable bike?
we need Wout Van Aert’s Felt world champ bike!!! 😉
Finally you haven’t said that you designed the paint work
good vid as its nice to hear someone making a case for a cx bike carrying a 10-42 on an xd freehub. Unusual to have it mated to tubs though; bit frankenstein in some ways as tubs are only any use for racers, who dont use 10-42’s…..
Measurements? Strange saddle-position!
I would love to see more gcn presenter bikes.
Lasty why do you ride an aluminium frame and not carbon fibre for cyclocross?
when will we see a video of Matt’s Emonda?
i actually hate how gcn promote disc brakes in literally ever second video they bring up.
business as usual
why is everyone afraid of using a big cassette in the back.
I got one to help me keep up and so I wouldn’t get dropped and now that I got my cadence on point I do all the dropping.
scraping the bottom of the barrel here, can use my bike next week if you want?
hey gcn, how do I put a barrel adjuster into my rear mech
saddle looks like its pointed down. cool build though , do you all have pedal room? would be a good feature on the weekly show.
Cool bike
Gotta love Lasty and his great bikes. As the proud owner of a new Specialized CruX E5 X1, I’ve got some similar equipment although not quite so nice. Can’t wait to develop more skill and get racing too.
Hi Tom! Could you tell me what size is your bike? Thanks!
Can you guys do a review/unboxing of Storck Aernario bike from Germany?
That seat angle bruh… whats up?
@Tom: Because you installed a 10-42 cassette I would like to know if you still use the force derailleur with mid Cage?
Sram says you Need a Long Cage… Or does it work with mid Cage?
Today WC…Who will win: Van Aert, Van Der Poel or an outsider like Lars Van Der Haar? Will you watch it? I definitely! (Oh and I bet on Van Der Haar because of…feeling)
Which is Lasty natural position? On the saddle or squatting in front of bikes?
Is it me or is this full of mistakes? What I found:
1. The seat post is designed by Ergon, not Canyon. It just has some Canyon logo’s printed on it..
2. Those Crank Brothers Candy pedals aren’t really 4 sided with those platforms. They are effectively dual sided.
3. Challenge doesn’t make any 32mm Grifo tubulars, only 33mm.. They used to make 32mm clinchers, but even those aren’t really available any more..
do you promote any other bikes?
(Y)
What music is being played in the background?
Might want some valve extenders on there Lasty, not much for the track pump to grab hold of 🙂
Lasty, is that a zero setback seatpost?
It’s probably a nice bike but I have no interest in cyclo cross bikes. It’s either a proper road bike or mountain bike for me. I don’t do both disciplines together.
Will Matt be running MTB pedals for 2017 then? 🙂
Baby Limus is your go to all around tire now…
Hey Tom, good video. We can see you like the bike. What do you think of the headset? Any issue with it?
@Global Cycling Network would any of you guys considering getting a Bianchi(preferably an XR4 or XR2) at any point?
alloy? why you pay around 3000 for alloy
So, Lasty’s Aloominium cx bike weighs less than Boonen’s carbon disc road bike?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Awesome. So roadies are realizing that disc brakes make riding off-road better? I wonder when they will discover wide, stubby tyres, flat handlebars and suspension…
At 3:02 lasty looks to at the camera man like : ” did i say that correct ? “
black saddle and this bike would look amazing!
Lastly = Legend
did u go to a canyon bike shop or order it online?
Sick bike!
I have white bar tape on my cross bike! 🙂
Big thumbs up.
Really cool bike but those pink pedals are cold bloody killers! :)) “Candy” ??? The pedals name is “candy”???? Cute! :))
Love you guys
frame size??
Hey what’s up guys it scarce here u should of said that
