Canyon Spectral

I made some changes to my previous setup (https://www.vitalmtb.com/community/ThereIsNoLine,41148/setup,39684?scop…). I couldn't be happier!

The Invisiframe wrap is great. A caution to owners of bikes with raw aluminum frames: sunlight may fade whatever color is on top. It didn't take longer than several rides. The wrap helps preserve the color. Pre-shaped pieces from Invisiframe make the job so easy. I wish I had done this sooner.

Hope brakes!! I love these and their sudden bite and tons of force. The Guides didn't have much initial bite and left me worried. A personal preference, no doubt. Hope does an amazing job designing for adjustment and maintenance. I'm a little bummed the Hope orange is so different from everyone else's orange, but oh well.

Handlebar is a smaller diameter and higher rise. I was surprised how much of a difference this made in comfort and hand fatigue.

I couldn't resist the orange valve stems.

I kept forgetting to take clean bike photos with good scenery. Too stoked to ride. I love this bike.
