Hi everyone,
Having my Canyon Aeroad CF SL 8.0 delivered on Monday (Woo :D!) and currently looking into ordering a power meter. On my current bike, I run a 4iiii power meter and am very happy with it! I had one ready to order online but then noticed a topic regarding crank clearance.
It requires atleast 10.5mm between the left crank arm and the chainstay, and 10cm of clearance along the left crank arm. Does anyone know if this is compatible? I assume it would be, as I understand most bike manufacturers are aware of crank-based power meters existing, and I equally can't see why the crank would ever need to be that close to the frame anyway.

Though did want to check, so if someone knows, that would be super useful! Cheers!

    Have had an Ulegra 6800 4iiii on my Aeroad CF SlX for a couple of summers. Loads of clearance, nothing to worry about. You're going to love the bike!

    I think there was a similar thread not long ago and someone posted a photo of the clearance.

    Ah yeah, saw someone posted this photo: https://i.imgur.com/ktkyv7x.jpg Though that is for a Canyon Endurance, not Aeroad, so the Aeroad frame may be more narrow. I've gone ahead and ordered the PM now anyway, as the crank based ones have been good for me and other ones are expensive.
    If it doesn't fit, then I guess i'll just return it (having it installed in-shop anyway). Though based on what kofsw4 has said, i'm hoping it'll be fine :)

    If you have issues with the clearance powertap p1 Pedals are massively reduced. I just picked up the dual sided one for 550 and the single sided ones are currently 350 from Pro bike kit with £25 at the moment.
