Another chapter in the horrible after sales experience with Canyon. I've got the 2022 CFR Ultimate with the SRAM eTAP AXS groupset. Last weekend I almost fell over the handlebar when I had to stop for a red light during my ride, because the right lever suddenly came extremely loose. And guess what? SRAM actually did a recall on this issue! Here is their post: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2zyJQOhg6l/

But Canyon has never reached out, never informed me, let alone offered assistance.

Their local partner shop is a PITA to deal with. I went there (without knowing about the recall) and they said they need to order the part. But they don't know the price and ETA. I just checked online and there's local stock of the part.

Incompetence all over.

  1. At least nothing bad happened.

    If I’ve understood correctly, the recall is/was only about shifter that were sold to end-customers. I am not completely sure but, manufacturers get parts in bulk and therefore sometimes the parts are slightly different. Happens quite often in the bicycle/car industry.

    > All 12 speed SRAM eTap AXS RED, Force, Rival, and Apex shift-brake levers which were not installed by a
    bicycle dealer on a new bicycle are involved in this recall.

    I will also double check mine now, but tbh. I also check my bike quite frequently that all parts have correct torque and nothing feels off.
