what should i do next? grizl cf slx 8…i assume its still safe to ride? or is this enough to do damage to carbon frames?
was riding gravel and chain came off and i tried to keep on pedaling the bike. got the chain jammed good between the bb and cranks. bend the chain and grinded down the frame.

Might be wrong but that looks like a crack to me. Get it to a bike shop that knows carbon frames or send the pictures to Canyon CS and see what they think.
I wouldn’t ride it until you either have it looked over or get the thumbs up from Canyon
What caused this? (Besides the chain falling off) And isn’t there a metal plate to protect against that?
It’s fine, I’ve had the exact same issue on my grail, took it to my local bike shop and they said it was only cosmetic. Emailed canyon and theybsaid it was only cosmetic. It is fine, get the derailiour set up by a professional and ride on 🙌🏼
These are deep gouges and cracks in the carbon fiber. You cannot see how far these damages extend to the lower fibers of the carbon and the structural integrity of the fibers has more than likely been compromised. I would advise against riding the bike like this and have it inspected by a bike shop for sure.
Did not notice the chain stuck until later?

How many Canyon gravel bikes does this happen to?!? It happened to my Grizl. Never one issue and one day I am riding and my chain suddenly wraps itself around the chain ring on a way I have never seen on a bike before.
I’m glad I got a 1x on my Grizl
