Received my first Aeroad in the mail and set it up. The chess board pieces are 2”x2”. Do I need these red parts for anything?

Yes. Tool for aligning front mech, and blocks for your brake pads when you remove the wheels.
Yes the flat ones are for keeping your brake pistons in if you take the wheel off and accidentally hit the brakes. The clear piece is a front derailleur alignment tool. Not sure what the plugs are for
Two big things are either the spacers for bleeding the brakes or to prevent the brake pistons from coming too far out if you press the brakes when the wheel is out.
Red thing that says 12 speed on it is a gauge to get the angle or spacing of the derailleurs right.
I don’t know much, but that thing at the top is a sticker. You peel it off and stick it on things that you want to make look cool.
I’d say buy another couple of Canyons and that chess set you’re working on starts looking pretty good
Put the Brake things next to your indoor trainer and put one in the back wheel brake every time you ride indoors. I keep a second set next to my bike maintenance stand for when I pull off the wheels. I also keep 1 in my saddle bag for the situation where I have to pull off a wheel to change a tire. You really don’t want to try to open those brake calipers with a screw driver on the road/trail.
AirTag is an Apple part. Canyon sticker is a Canyon part. Maybe you don’t need any of those. The rest you should keep. Especially the caliper blocks.
