They sure have put right the Canyon debacle and that took a lot of putting right. Canyon should be banned from trading internationally until they can get their house in order. They advertise constantly but can't fulfil their orders. By contrast Rose let their own customers do their advertising.Great service indeed and excellent news on the fitting. I found the service in general from Rose to be so efficient you'd think they were German
Anyone else getting hacked off with waiting for a Canyon?

My 90mm replacement Ritchey stem turned up yesterday, much to my surprise since I only emailed Rose on Monday afternoon. All fitted and ready to go apart from 1 thing.... The SRAM Force Front Derailleur isn't as smooth going onto the big ring as it should be. I've tried all sorts (backing off the outer limit screw half a turn) but I seem to have to hold the lever in place and ease off pedalling to get it to hop across. I've heard they can be tricky so I guess it's going to take a bit of getting used to. I don't suppose anyone else has SRAM FD?

One is supposed to ease off pedalling when shifting anyway, and I don't use sram, but I reckon that the outer limiter screw isn't the thing here. That is to stop the chain jumping off the outer side of the big ring. You probably need to either increase tension in the cable by refitting it a bit tighter, or use the barrel adjuster on the cable to nudge the front mech cage out a touch. That should help it to push the chain across onto the big ring. BB

In between here and there
Is it SRAM 22? They have a slightly strangle angle on them to allow using all 22. I found this bike shop page helpful http://www.artscyclery.com/learningcenter/sramyawfrontderailleurs.html
Yep tried that but will persevere thanks bud
Also saw that link thanks, I may have to start completely from the beginning but was hoping I didn't have to since they said it would arrive set up and the truth is I'm better at riding that fixing...something I need to remedy I know!
First road ride ever on the Rose today since my last road ride on the 'Road Comp Boardman, 22nd November and although tired legs from too much turbo lately...it's superb!
Much more of a dropped racing position than I'm used to(with the smaller frame) and although still some front derailleur probs, she will see me right this year.

sorry used to own a motorbike for most of my life... corrected now
2 X 10mm and 1 x 5mm I have them all there. Considering taking 5mm or 10mm off for a 10mile time trial in Feb.

All very lovely....but all fur coat and no knickers I'm afraid.
So many people, myself included have witnessed their Appalling customer service. I at least tried to become a customer. They promised me delivery and no bike ever came. 2 months of my life wasted.
Now I'm a Rose customer and my bike is superb. It's a Rose X Lite CRS 4400 and weighs 6.80 kg with pedals. I paid £1760 for it, delivered.
I won't be looking at Canyon ever again, I don't need to.
