Torque Rockzone

[TheWho88]

what? you will be the first rockzone 2011 owner?

my playzone isn't dispatched yet

 

[bells0]

Must be a few being sent out this week i guess. Didn't realise that this was the 1st run of this model of bike!

Hope there are no problems with them................

 

[comegetsome]

No, think the typical first-session-bike-problems don´t apply to the rockzone. The rockzone is still only a torque with other parts and the torque have enough tests behind it!

When we´ll see the first picts from users here?

There has been only black Rockzones delivered this week.
I am also waiting on a Brown Rockzone and have no info or a confirmed delivery date.

 

[Zeddy]

well, also congratz to u!

I guess I know whats the Problem with my Order....

I ordered in january a Black Rockzone M and received immediately a Order Confirmation with estimated delivery date CW 7... but then....

I saw once on canyon.com that Terra Brown Flat was also available for CW 7!
So I instantly called the support and wished to change of my order into that available Brown one^^

Everything went good, I received a new Order Confirmation for CW 7 >_<

I bet they simply postponed my order to to CW 20 !!!

Noooo.... I call the white house for help

[Suicyclist]

in the North of England

So you're maybe gonna take your Rocky out for a ride at Fort William one day? That would be !

 

[bells0]

1 Canyon box just delivered to work!!

Shall have to get it built tonight

 

[comegetsome]

Great! Lucky guy!

Enjoy it!

 

[bells0]

Quickly took it home during my lunch hour to unbox!

Question for new Rockzone owners:

1) What coil do you have on your shock - mine [medium bike] is 350 x 3.25
2) Did anyone else pay for Optitune??

I paid for Optitune as the UK rep reckoned i would get the correct spring in the fork and coil for the shock fitted for my weight - a shade under 200lbs

I'm sure that a 350 x 3.25 is too light? - anyone know the shock stroke on the Torque?? - also there was a spare spring for the fork in the box - i'm hoping that's the light standard spring and they have already fitted my heavy spring??

Anyhow - a couple of pics [sorry, rubbish iphone hdr jobbies] - will take some better ones tonight!

 

[svensson79]

... it looks so damn tiny on the pictures!
i wonder what went wrong with the damper springs... on my L-frame there's has been a 300 x 3,25 installed. Usually the spring rate depends on the frame size: larger frame = bigger boy = higher spring rate !?!
Gotta ask Canyon what went wrong there, 'cause a 300 x 3,25 coil is way to soft for 85kg. 40% SAG... plush
I also payed the Optitune-Option. My forkwas set up with the desired spring. The additinal one in the box is the standard spring....

 

[bells0]

I made sure with the UK rep that Optitune meant it got the correct spring on the shock and also wrote it on the online order - i had a feeling all you got was the correct Fork spring, hence why i argued it as no point having the correct front and wrong back!

So i guess 350 x 3.25 is actually ok for my weight as with all my kit on i must be pushing 210 lbs.

Felt pretty stiff when i sat on it at lunch time. Shall have a quick blast on the street tonight see how it feels.

My old Iron Horse Sunday felt so much softer compared to the quick sit on, it was like a comfy armchair!!
