Canyon Lux Trail 2024

[venschla]

The lux trail cannot be fitted with a chainring of less than 30 teeth.????

And a 30 oval chainring?

No, the chain would rub on the chainframe (Kettenstrebe?)

Fast, Chainstay

Hi. Canyon Lux Trail CF 6 received. I have a question:

How do I unclip the shock? Do you have to remove the air completely and the two fixing screws? or is it not necessary to remove the air?

I like to maintain them because they usually come from home quite dry.

Thank you.

Hi, did you check? or is this indicated on their webpage?
My father is going to order tomorrow most likely the Lux Trail CF8.
Currently he is riding a Simplon Razorblade HT from 2016 with a 2x10 XT drivetrain. 22x40 with a crank lever of 175 is the smalest for uphill. The ratio is lower compared to the ones on the Canyon with min. 30x52 and a 170mm crank since he needs the size S.
Can you recommend how to improve that in order to be able to have available a smal gear for uphills.
In addition, how can we add spacer?. Is that in general possible? and to what extend?
By the way, my father is nearly 76 years old and is still riding MTB but needs comfort on the bike. So he need a more upright position. Race position is not acceptable.

Please let me have advises.
Thanks a lot

I put on a 32t chainring on my lux and the chain is super close to the chainstay on the smallest pinion (biggest gear).

I doubt a 30t would fit without a rubbing / grinding chain.

A colleague (a few posts back) said that the 30 chainring can be fitted. Can anyone confirm this?

This morning I noticed the hole I have marked in the photo (I got the photo from the internet). What is it for? to tighten the steering lock? It seems strange to me, if it came loose or the stopper was turned by a blow, we would have to disassemble everything because the screw would have moved and it would coincide with that hole. Am I wrong?

That's correct. Good thing is you don't have to cut or open any cables to lift all the spacers and get access to the lock ring. You could also loosen the cockpit just a bit to rotate the plastic cover with the hole to align it with the screw underneath.

I had a detailed look also to the spare parts. A30t is listed there. So theoretically it shoul fit otherwise they should not offer.

I'm also very interested knowing if this could work.
...
My father was at Canyon today and he had someone not really having a clue. He had to investigate.
Finally this guy mentioned to him that 34t chainring is the minimum possible.
But if this is really the case that just a 34t can be mounted I'm questioning the market position of such bikes since this guy told him also that there is no bike at Canyon that can work with something lower than 34t chainring.
I'm riding myself a Last Cinto and at least I can mount a 30t chainring. On my Stoll M1 I even can go down to a 26t chainring. So something more specific is more flexible. Strange.

Like i already mentioned, my 32t works fine.

this is good to know.
So just to be 100% sure: is your bike a Canyon Lux Trail CF8? What size?

 

[Vicious6circle]

CF7 size M. But this should not matter.

 

[swsjht]

perfect. So size M he would also choose.
Thanks

If my CF 6 (size S) has a 32 tooth chainring (shimano SLX) how can they tell you that the canyon is only good for 34 teeth? ????

 

[hakamin]

I would like to take this opportunity to give you the settings of the shock absorbers according to the model and size.

my father had today also the impression of incompetency. I mean that they are not aware of the exact amount of carbon layers is understandable, but what powertrain I can mount they should know.
He is going to contact them again.

But one more thing: Is your CF6 and the CF7 from Vicius6cricle the new model from 2024?

I already said that I just received my new Lux Trail CF 6.

Hi.

I got a reply from Canyon regarding the use of a 30 tooth chainring and an oval chainring. This is their reply:

"Thank you for your email. regarding your question about the 30 chainring on your Lux Trail we can inform you that you can install it without problem, as it is a smaller chainring it will not interfere with the chainstays.
With regard to the oval chainring, Canyon does not recommend it for your model as we have not tested it ourselves".

I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you what SAG you have on your fork and shock? 20%-25%?

Thank you.

Hallo zusammen,

nachdem ich vor geraumer Zeit mit nem CF8 ziemlich baden ging (Bremsen, Lockout, Vorbau kaputt, etc.) hab ich jetzt nach ewigem Überlegen und vergeblichem Warten auf Rabatte ein CF9 bestellt und super schnell bekommen.

Diesmal passt fast alles, es macht auch schon enorm Spaß nur um den Block zu fahren.

Einziges Manko: Der Lockout vom SID Dämpfer tut nicht richtig. Man merkt schon Unterschiede zwischen Open Pedal Lock, der Lock fühlt sich aber eher nach Pedal an. Seilzug ist gespannt zum Dämpfer, ich hab ihn auch schon rausgenommen und den Zug etwas gestrafft, auch die Längeneinstellung hab ich ausgenutzt. Es ist besser geworden, aber zu ist das nicht.

Kann mir jemand nen Tipp geben?

Danke und viele Grüße!

Du könntest mal den Dämpfer extern an die Remote anschließen (also direkt von Remote zu Dämpfer, ohne durch den Rahmen zu gehen) und dann mal testen ob er richtig zu macht. So könntest du rausfinden ob es durch zu viel Reibung im intern verlegten Zug dazu kommt oder ob der Dämpfer grundsätzlich weich im gelockten Zustand ist.

So habe ich es beim Fox Dämpfer auch gemacht und extern war er dann richtig zu. Problem lag bei mir an der schlecht verlegten und geknickten Leitung im Rahmen.

 

[erich3]

Danke für den Tipp, das probiere ich mal. Oder besser schau ich die Remoteverlegung an, es geht schon eher schwerer als beim Testrad in Koblenz…

 

[erich3]

Hab gerade mal probiert in das Steuerrohr zu schauen.

Zuerst Hut ab vor allen die das hinbekommen haben. Ich, der schon ewig alles schraubt (und der Meinung ist das auch zu können) verliere da nach kürzester Zeit jegliche Lust auf das Lux.

Mach ich vielleicht was falsch? Muss man vielleicht alles vom Lenker abschrauben und Bremsen Lockout und Schalthebel irgendwie von oben aufhängen? Ich hab nur die rechte Seite abgeschraubt, links hätte ich auch den Griff vom Twistlock runtermachen müssen um denTwister zu entfernen. Das führt dazu dass man eigentlich gar nicht ins Steuerrohr schauen kann. Was ich aber gefunden habe war ein Knick in der Lockoutleitung.

Irgendwelche Tipps?

Danke.

Einmal fest am Kabel ziehen damit es gerade läuft?

Hallo, ich habe mal ne Frage an Euch die das Lux Trail gut kennen.
Mein Bike ist eine Lux Trail CF6 aus 2023.
Zu Anfang habe ich die absenkbare Stütze ausgebaut und ne starre Stütze montiert, da ich der Meinung war, das langt mir. Nun soll doch wieder eine absenkbare Stütze ala Fox Transfer SL rein.
Es scheint mir so, dass der Rahmen keine Kanäle zum fädeln hat. Kann das jemand bestätigen? Falls ja, gibt es da ne Art Fädelhilfe, um den Zug durch das Unterrohr zu bekommen?

Vielen Dank.
