Perhaps wrong forum but does anyone have any experience of the acros headset on the canyon ultimates. I have a 2019 cf sl with the aero cockpit.
I’m have replaced the bearings and I’m having a hell of a time gett8ng the pressure right. Too tight an the bars are stiff and too loose and there’s is the rocking play.
Also does the lower bearing not have a lower bearing race. Mine just seems t see on the fork steerer it’s self.
I have all these questions and more sent to canyon but I won’t hear back until Tuesday no doubt.
Any help appreciated.
Yeah, there's a particular way of tightening them up. One of the guys in the service centre took me through it when I got my frame replaced.
Typically I haven't had to do it since and I've forgotten.
He did say a lot of people struggle. I did suggest better instructions would br helpful.
Sorry to be so unhelpful.
Thanks. I’m glad it’s not me. Let’s see what canyon cOme back with next week. Thanks again.
Is it the one with a compression ring that you do up? I just got a shop to replace it with a top cap based solution and have had zero problems since. This is on a 2014 model though so not sure if it’s the same thing.
I had a 2015 model with the acros headset. Only time I had an issue with it The tops cups had become slightly misaligned and as such wouldn't preload the bearing. Simply realigned the 2 cups so that there was no gap, then tightened with the t6 key.
