thanks guys. I will pump in 5-10 psi for starters and see if it is still supple enough. ATM i run it already with max coil preload , so theoretically i could decrease preload of the coil as I add some air . if that doesnt help , then i will surely try new oil..

vitus sommet carbon soon in shops

thanks guys. i will try the foam

thank you. will order seals from loco soon 😀

make sure your chain is well lubriceted with good dry lube. it will help a lot. i applied some lubricant and since then no more chainsuck.
http://www.diaryofamountainbiker.co.uk/chainsuck.php read this page . there is very good article about chainslap and how to prevent it.

or alternatively go single ring setup 1×10 with maybe 34t ring and shed som,e more weight of bike 8)

hello. i am owner of canyon strive es 8.0. i had a bike for 3 weeks now. I can confirm that it happened to me too – twice . always when going from large ring to small ring. There is no need to break the chain though! all you need is 8 mm alen key to unthread silver nut in your crankset to unsack the chain and then retighten the nut. very simple . I am thinking of trying bionicon chainguide or shimano shadow plus maybe. for now i will ride it more and see how it goes. it seems to be ok now though. didnt happen to me for week now.

i ordered Strive ES8 – to be delivered mid may. uff. I hope all that waiting is worth it. I am 6ft1 and 85 cm inseam and pps opted me to go for medium , but after some time spent on fiddling with pps, I realized i should take large. canyons are indeed slightly smaller for their respective sizes. its always better to get larger frame and fit 50-60 mm stem , rather than medium frame with 70-80 mm one. look at standover clearance – only 4 mm difference between medium and large ,so inseam doesnt really matter yet it was inseam input number that made difference on pps sizing (86 cm inseam results to large).
