Hey all,
I'm seriously considering the Speedmax CF 7 with DT swiss ARC1600 for long-course triathlons (including Ironman sub 5hr), but I wanted to ask a few things before pulling the trigger:
-
Any known issues with the CF 7? Reliability, fit, components, etc?
-
Overall, is it a good value/performance bike for the price?
-
Why are there no color options for it? Just curious if Canyon ever explained this.
-
I don’t want to use the Canyon hydration system (I’ve heard it’s messy, leaks, and hard to clean). What are some good hydration alternatives that are legal under the newer Ironman rules (no front fairings, etc)?
-
Any cockpit upgrades you’d recommend for comfort and aero gains? Especially something that works well for DIY hydration setups and long-distance comfort.
Thanks!
