Hi folks
I've been offered a Canyon Grizl 7 Suspension for around 2000 USD and it looks to be in very good condition. The only things I can't figure out are
– are hydraulic disc-brakes a bad idea for bike touring? Ie. how much maintenance does it take, can you still go on 200km+ trips and expect no big problems? I only have experience with regular disc brakes.
– what is the max weight a bike like this can take? i cannot find this, but based on other similar bikes around 110kg seems like the usual level – which gives me around 30kg for stuff (tent, food, clothes etc which *seems* reasonable to me, but I don't have a lot of experience with this type of stuff)..
– and lastly, maybe a stupid question, but can you mount a rack on this bike so you can put pannier bags on? it's really hard to find information on it online since it's not being made anymore. but something like this from canyon itself: https://www.canyon.com/en-se/gear/accessories/racks/canyon-rear-rack/10014690
thank you.
