Wow! I hope you weren't hurt. Did all three breaks happen at the same time and suddenly? My Gary Fisher aluminum frame cracked recently, but it got all floppy so I had warning.

No. Not as slammed as I thought especially with the 3 spacers plus I can run 35

The lack of any adjustability had me concerned but pretty sure it will be fine. I can very likely unload it here in my neighborhood if it’s a disaster Lots of tony bike people here will jump on it.

My Endurace 7. I have had it for about a month now. Love it. My first real road bike.

Here is the first shot of my Roadlite CF 9 LTD. To my knowledge, this is the only one in the US in this iteration (with SRAM Eagle/Force AXS and Reynolds wheels). It is fast an nimble, but I am still tweaking the brakes and shifting. When I ride out of the saddle, the front brake pads rub slightly, but they are not broken in at all. The Favero Assioma power meter pedals are very easy to work with so far, and feel just as nice as the Shimano XT two-sided SPD pedals I'm used to, but with the added feature of power meter readings. The AXS shifting is quick and almost silent, but I want to experiment with some micro adjustments to each gear. Also, I don't think the drivetrain is lubed correctly, so I will work on that as well. Better shots to come as I break it in and get everything dialed in.

The chain will just have the factory packing grease, which will attract dirt like a magnet. So I would clean it up and use your own lube of choice.

You can micro-adjust the shift indexing from the AXS phone app in real time while you ride, which is pretty cool. Note that it works like a cable barrel adjuster in that the setting applies equally to all gears. You can’t set each gear independently.

If your front brake rotor continues to rub after bedding in then I would loosen the calliper and centre it perfectly on the rotor. If you check it now by eye, you might see it is very close to the pad on one side.

It’s a nice bike I’m sure you will enjoy!

I'm sorry; I didn't mean to appear misleading from the photos. The 2nd pic shows the chainstay weld that failed. The 3rd pic shows the bottom bracket being cut apart which was what Canyon required before they would reimburse me for out of pocket cash that I had to pay as part of their warranty process in my situation. The bike DID NOT fail in 3 places at once and I was not physically injured.

I did experience considerable time, effort, and some monetary withholding during the warranty process, which is why I cannot recommend Canyon bikes to people any longer.
