Hi,
Yesterday I saw that the CF SLX 7 AXS appeared back in stock. I managed to get one on order and it will be delivered in the next few days. This is going to be my first brand new bike.
So what accessories have people bought or wish they had bought? I have already added
Bottle Cage x 2
Computer mount x 1
I am tempted to add
Undertsteat bag to make it look neat – here
Aero Extensions – here (if i do this then i would need another computer mount)
Then the next question is tubeless or not…. and any accessories for that. I have never run tubeless and i have no idea what to do for this.

Just to note I’ve had two of the under seat bags and both ties the zip has snapped off. I don’t think I’ll go back to using them.
Canyon under seat bag is utter crap. The way it is mounted prevents it from opening the zipper fully, I feel like I should have child size hands to grab anything from it.
Do not buy.
How you found it… I have been monitoring it for over 2 weeks now. Cant see any.
I have added the following:
* Canyon Road Underseat Bag (bundle)
* Canyon FLASH 800 GEAR GROOVE Frontlight Set
* Canyon Cycling Rear Light
* 2x Canyon Lightweight Carbon Bottle Cage
* Canyon Road Cycling Bell
And here’s how it looks:

Tubeless. Yes, but use up your tubes in the meantime then convert when you wear out the stock tyres.
Either way, carry levers, a small multi tool and a spare tube, and Specialized do a mini air tool pump that sits very nicely and hidden on the frame.
Canyon bottle cages are apparently only suitable for Canyon bottles. I have Decathlon cages with Elite Fly bottles.
