Torque Rockzone .

...it did! Until I changed the spring even before my first trailride. As I wrote I took the Optitune Option but the fork was also far from beeing compressed.
I share the reputation that it felt quite sticky and not very comfortable at first ...Still got to work out the correct setup but i got a bit smoother right after the first ride.
My shock pump by the way wasn't delivered either... wrote an email and will receive it soon! for free of course!
had some communication with canyon... my rockzone has the wrong coil-spring mounted. the L-frame has to be equipped with an 350x3,25 spring. on my bike i found an 300x3,25 what means plushy 40% SAG. way too much.
the fork performs best with the (blue) standard spring at the moment.
my weigth is +/- 84kg. for bikepark-use, with bigger drops, etc. a 400x3,25 for the rear and the green fox spring for the front would be my choice.

weird sag thing...
300, 84kg >> more than 40%
350, 90kg >> 28% ? sure about that? how much full turns of preload from the point the spring touches the base plate?
swapping the forks spring is no big deal! just screw off the left cap (the one with the preload button) and pull out the spring. that's it !!!
is there only 1spring inside of the fork??

According to the sag meter it is.
See this UK site:
http://www.tftunedshox.com/info/spring_calculator.aspx
For my weight, a 350 lb spring = about right (a bit hard even)
finally received a call from canyon... they'll send me a 350 spring and i'll send mine back. until then i'll increase the preload and take care not to destroy the soft 300 spring
had a few test rides the last evening. when my 350 spring finally touches down at my house, i'll definetly swap the fork-spring too. (blue >> green 82-95kg). should work out just right for my 85kg then...
i also had new 2,6'' maxxis ardents equipped... rolls so much easier since then. the minions remain my choice for bikepark-use...

Dont really get how the preload adjuster works on shocks. Do you just turn the spring and coller?? Doesnt look to do anything to me.........
1st ride this aft. Short downhill track in the local woods - was super muddy and slippy but the bike seemed pretty good. Forks seem to do a great job. Have to have a play with the shock settings as seemed a little nervous over roots.

We seem to share our first impression!
try setting up the rebound. The wheels won't follow fast hits like roots and rocks if set too slow. otherwise, if set too fast, your wheels will bounce and feel out of Control. Takes a few rides to find the right 'click'!
as written above: adjust sag by screwing the base plate to the point it gently touches and fixes the coil, then check the sag! From this point on you increase the tension by tightening the collar/coil! More tension means less sag! Don't do more then 4 full turns or the coils windings might collide at full compression!
Also make sure that the little gap in the upper collar doesn't match the end/beginning of the coil!
To set up the LSC start from 0 clicks and adjust click by click till your bike feels neutral when riding fast turns and on slow hits, long bumps and so on!
Hope I could help you a bit, mate...

Shall have a play with the preload collar tomoz - it didn't seem to change anything when i turned it today - just seems tight up against the spring - and didnt seem to move up or down.
Back out on Sunday, to a drier and rockier track, so plenty of opportunity to sort out the rebound and compression settings!
Is a bargain of a bike though

...i wonder how you manage cleaning up your bike in the dishwasher! my girlfriend would freak out ;-)

Be a lot easier if it did fit in the dishwasher!! Girlfriend is already kicking my ass as i've not moved the huuuuge canyon box from the kitchen!!
I sorted the shock preload - it was turned on pretty tight from the factory! Getting a bit more sag now which is good [just over 30%]
Getting rid of the spoke protection thing means taking the wheel and cassette off - i'm far too lazy to do that!!

Today's match:
useless spoke-protection vs. side-cutting nippers
>>i wouldn't place a bet on that plastic-thing

Hey Hardtail...
Müssen nochmal über den Tausch der Federn sprechen... Canyon will die zwar austauschen, aber erst in KW13!
Schreibe Dir morgen nochmal ne PN! Dann kommst Du vielleicht doch noch zu Deiner 300er!
Gruß, Sven

The chainguide is from a UK company called Superstar. It's their plasma chainguide. A lot cheaper than getting E13, works pretty well.
I didn't feel the need to have a small front ring and front mech as only using the bike for freeride/downhill stuff. Saves a bit of weight too. So took off the changer, small ring, mech and canyon chain guide and fitted this instead.

...so what about the bashguard? no need for it after downgrading to single!? looks even better without and saves another few g's of weight!
