Canyon owners advice

i777

Interested in buying a new Canyon - probably a Carbon SLX..although may look at an Aeroroad.
Is anyone running a Stages power meter on the SLX (or Aeroroad)? - I have one and would want to use it
on the new bike but need to check on the clearance to the chainstay. Looking at the website pics of the SLX, I would say there is plenty of clearance (need at least 10mm from crank arm to frame) - but would be nice to have it confirmed.
I've tried the Canyon UK office, but they haven't replied to email and they never answer the phone!

Thanks in advance.

Confirmed.

Cheers CP - btw, is that 'confirmed' a Stages crank fits?....or 'confirmed' it's got at least 10mm clearance?

It fits. No probs at all.

I don't have a Stages, but for an idea of clearance [visually in addition to the above] here's my picture of the new Garmin cadence sensor...

Why would you need a cadence sensor and a power meter?

Good news that the clearance is fine for a Stages crank - thanks chaps.
The frame looks chunkier than I expected in the pic though.
This is the guidance from Stages re. frame fit -

No one is suggesting that you do but it's......

So you know how fast you're going on your Turbo

Sorry to drag this up again, but just as I was about to order a new SLX I happened to be chatting to a fellow club member who said he knows a rider who fitted Vectors to his SLX as the Stages would not fit (due to insufficient clearance between crank arm and chain stay). Now I am confused. - doesn't help that I get nowhere with Canyon support.
To the chaps who replied before - have you actually fitted a Stages to an SLX? - or do you just reckon it will fit?
To anyone else - if you have fitted one, or at least tried it - does it work?
Cheers for any further help.

I have stages (DA9000) fitted to my CF SLX. No issues whatsoever.

Thanks CP - that's great to know. No idea what this other guy was on about then!!
