Hi I decided to straighten the cockpit as it was slightly off, but by putting back on the little cap in the middle I screw along the inside of the threads.. can this be solved (relatively easy) with a new part somewhere? I can’t seem to find it.
I have have the CP0030 cockpit and the cap is E218-15 on the Ultimate CF SL 7

I’m having trouble understanding what is broken, but here are the two parts that could be:

Hopefully you are ex-US and live somewhere with that expander plug in stock. If not there are 3rd party options for 1-1/4″ steerers but it gets complicated because canyon uses an M4 bolt thru the proprietary top cap when everyone else uses M5.
almost happened to me too, I saw 4nm on the inside and i tried torquing it down but the cap bended and then I noticed something is wrong.
This looks like a major fuckup, but definitely doable.
There are a couple of methods to try:
easiest is probably getting some left hand extractors from the hardware store, drilling a hole and then have a try at the bolt.
or some left hand drill bits. I would not use a welder as this is carbon and the resin will get damaged if you do so.
you can also take it to a machine shop and they will do it for you. Buy a couple of beers for them and you have a decent chance they will do it for free.
Good luck and keep us updated!
