Hi Ian, could I get your size thoughts on my numbers as well! When looking at the Speedmax CF SLX, I seem to not necessarily fit well on any of them.
Stack - 64.5cm
reach (centre of pads) - 48cm
saddle height - 72.8
When I look at the charts, it looks like a small has a pad stack range of 566-619, so that won't work.
A medium has a pad stack range of 595 - 648, so just barely makes it?
The medium has a saddle height range listed as 727 - 857, so apparently I'd literally be on the limit of getting my saddle low enough, and obviously puts a large out of range with a 761 min saddle height.
Am I just a bad fit for Canyon?
Thx!
SBRcanuck, You are reading the prescriber correctly and I would argue that even getting the medium to 648 is a bummer because it requires an aftermarket item to lift you even further than the max of all the normal pieces. Are you a bad fit for a Canyon? No. This particular Canyon Speedmax SLX is a long and low bike and you need more of a longish and and taller bike. The Canyon Speedmax CF in a medium fits you VERY well. And, I've only been looking at the new numbers on the new disc brake Speedmax for 20min so I need more time to be sure but it looks like you'd fit on that bike well too.

Hey Ian, just wondering if we could revisit this for the CF SLX as the geo charts seem different now in terms of the stack ranges.
My measurements are still pretty much the same as above..
My low saddle height maybe makes sense with a small, but the reach maybe a medium but not sure the medium would work with my saddle height, still seems too low to be in range...
Also, one other concern - with the size small frame, if I calculate the front center (not listed on their chart) by subtracting wheelbase from chainstay length, that gives a front center of 56.6cm.
My current 54cm Felt IA that fits well has a FC of 60.2cm. So the front wheel of the small Canyon seems like it would be 4cm firther back, major toe overlap and sharp handling??
Thx!
