I'm going to be a real pain mate but could you send me a photo of the clips? Canyon have none in stock now and won't get any more in as they no longer make the frame! Which was really helpful! So I would need to get some made. Not sure it's going to be possible but I have a mate who is a tool maker so if I can get some machined by showing him a picture then that may save trying to cable tie to the top tube.

I only ordered them a few weeks ago, via email. Odd.
Pm me your mobile number or email address and I'll send you pics.0 -
Antur by mcnultycop, on Flickr
I went to Antur on Friday. It was brilliant, my first uplift and I still feel battered after it. Snapped a mech hanger (had a spare) but the bike was superb.0 -

Frame crack by mcnultycop, on Flickr
So new brakes as the Maguras (or one anyway) are going back under warranty and I didn't want to be brake-less. And I just wanted some XTs.
Hope T-Rex 40t for winching up climbs.
And a crack at the back, not sure if it is just the paint or if it's the frame. I've emailed Canyon to see what they say,0 -

T-Rex is great, new chain installed but I think I need a new cassette, it's a bit sloppy under load at the smaller end of the cassette.
XT brakes are great.
Southpaw improves the Lev no end.0 -
Two days of Le Tour by mcnultycop, on Flickr
New frame!
The frame cracked slightly, and Canyon have been brilliant sorting it out.
This photo was at Blackstone Edge on the way to watch Le Tour.0 -
what was the issue with your Magura's out of interest. I've got a set of OEM MT2/4's and one of the master cylinders has a crack. For the price of the new MC I can get a full set of XT's!"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

Really nice bike mate, but can i ask what difference the Southpaw makes? Been eyeing one up for my Lev as the OEM switch is terrible0

Performance wise, nothing, but one was leaking from the inside of the clamp, so a crack somewhere in the master cylinder.
I'd already crashed one of them and spares are really expensive, so just decided to go XT.0 -

It just puts the lever in the right position, but it's only any use if you are 1x as it replaces the left shifter.
My Lev died yesterday though. Back to Germany again...0 -

I'm going 1X soon, hence my reasoning behind switching from the standard lever to the southpaw, was hoping to free up some bar space but the southpaw would negate a lot of that. Have you had your LEV replaced with the new version? Mine broke a few months back so had it returned to Jungle and the updated version sent back0 -

Lev had been repaired once as it was sagging. Now it's stuck at the bottom, I'm waiting for Bike-discount to get back to me.0 -

Good luck. Mine got stuck in the up position a few weeks back and it took them over 3 weeks to reply to my initial email :shock: In that time I gave up waiting, phoned them, sent it back using their returns label and now they're telling me they don't have it despite the tracking showing it was delivered on the 2nd :x
Admittedly this isn't the first time it's had an issue and they've always been efficient getting it fixed before so I wonder what's up this time.
Out of interest AshW92 what is it you don't like about the normal lever? I've found it to be the best out of any I've used but then again I really hate the Reverb lever so maybe I've got weird hands.0 -
Peter, it's nothing ridiculously important, it's just that sometimes it won't wan't to pull the cable efficiently, it can take two pushes of the button (i know this is a typical first world problem, but when you pay that money for a good you expect it to work properly). I just want something efficient that i can press knowing every time i do it will do exactly what i want it to.
Regarding the return of a LEV, i must be lucky because mine was sent back through Wheelbase (one of my local LBS's) and they sent it to Jungle to get it fixed, however Jungle took the piss and i didn't receive the seat post back for 4-6 weeks (I only had the bike a month or 2 before sending it away). Long story short, if you have the choice upgrade to a Rockshox reverb while they're on offer for £1700 -
That sound like a cable issue, have you tried fitting a new one? Is the spring in the post properly tensioned as well? It's not very tolerant of being slightly off IME. I don't think a new remote will solve that because it still rely's on the same cable system using the spring inside the post to pull the lever back. Or if the post is refusing to work even though the cable is being pulled then it might be time to send it back again.
Like I said this is the first time it's take so long with them, I'd normally have it back by now. I've asked for a brand new one and if they've lost it I don't see that they'll have any other option. Hope that means one of the brand new all black ones. No way I'm ever getting a Reverb until they change that bloody remote, it's awful! Honestly don't know how it gets so much praise.0 -
Bike-discount were super efficient the first time it went back, but haven't responded yet to my email. I'll give them a bell on Monday if they haven't got back to me.
I'm sticking with the Lev, I don't fancy a reverb.0 -
Did you have any luck mcnultycop? It's now been a week since they last emailed me despite me emailing another 3 times asking for an update and the phone number is always busy when I try to phone them. Starting to get a little worried now.0
-
They replied to my email rather than to their contact form. I'm to return it. Again.
It definitely isn't a cable issue by the way.0 -
P.sl I just replied to the original order confirmation. Not sure if that helped.0
-
I finally managed to get them on the phone. Going to be another couple of weeks while they "investigate the missing package". And then the warranty process can start. Fingers crossed your post gets to them ok. I wonder what's gone wrong with them this time as this is the 4th or 5th time I've had to return it yet every other time they have been super helpful keeping me in the loop and getting the issues sorted ASAP.0

Chicks dig scars? by mcnultycop, on Flickr
So the new frame is great. However, had a big off a few weeks back and managed a displaced fracture of the elbow.
I'm not riding for a while.0
