Bought my first Canyon bike (first racing bike in general). Are there any no-brainer things that you all usually do when you bought a new bike (and which I obviously have no idea of).
If it has a power meter, make sure the battery cap is tightly screwed, tape it over, and don’t lose it on your first outing like the idiot I am.

Get the adjustments (shifting and brakes) done in a workshop! You can file a claim with Canyon and they will offer you compensation, but get this sorted out first but get it done!
Else, remove dork disc.
Small edit, check all the posts with chain drops. Those are 95% bikes that were ridden out of the box without proper adjustment. My aeroad cf slx 7 di2 has 4000 km without a single chaindrop or shifting issues.
Another edit, contact Canyon and report shifting issues and or braking issues (I can almost guarantee you that the front mech is too high and adjusted poorly and that the brake isn’t bled properly). They will offer you either a compensation fee or a free tune up (if a Canyon certified workshop is in reasonable distance).

Go tubeless and wax your chain
