I just assembled my Canyon Speedmax 7 and noticed that there is a small gap between my fork and frame. I tried to tight the top screw but it didnt work. Any idea how i can fix that?

Headset is not pressured properly.
Did you tighten the top cap without loosening stem bolts? If yes, that’s the problem. Loosen the stem, then tighten the top cap
1. Loosen stem
2. Tighten top cap
3. Push down on stem to seat it all the way
4. Tighten stem
As above, the headset bearings are not pre loaded correctly. Don’t ride it before adjusting, the headset is way too loose at the moment. Watch a video for headset adjustment on your model of bike, and watch your torques. Carbon is easily crush damaged.
