I asked at the Canyon booth at Oceanside. I talked to the sales team manager. They are getting back to me with more info, but probably a month. Same info you had.

Ok, so I got tired of waiting. Asked a 3D printing savvy friend to help with this dilemma. Only the 2nd prototype, so we’re still tweaking the specs. But it’s very close....

I am confident it will be any year now.

Any chance you'll make the files available?

Why so low?

It seems to me it would be both easier to reach and likely more aerodynamically advantageous to put it closer under the saddle. You could use essentially the same design but raise the bottle holder section so it projects close to the top of the bracket rather than near the bottom. This would also let you slide the bottle forward more thus reducing stress on the bracket and tidying it all up more - if either of those matters....

I’m not sure on the details, but we do want this to get out to fellow Speedmax owners.

This is absolutely being addressed in the next version. Trial and error.

I'm guessing it's been a long month?

I think they're readily available here in Europe - Have you US customers considered getting them via European STers? Not as applicable for you, obviously, since you seem to be well on with a solution of your own.

What material are you using for the printing process?

You may want to reply directly to the poster which I quoted (TCMiles?), or they may not see your question

Hmm, last I checked it was not available anywhere. But that’s nice to know you European STers would be willing to help us Yanks out in the future ;)

We are currently using PLA for all prototyping. But I honestly think it will work just fine for the finished product as well.

PETG would be my recommendation based on parts I made. PLA will deform at temps you’ll see basking in sun or in a car. ABS is too brittle in my experience printing think walled items (fairing and bento boxes). PETG has been best of both. Strong, easy to print, enough give not to crack. It’s what I use for pretty much anything I print now.

Ninja flex is my next material to try for hinges and tops.

How is is fixed to the back of the bike/seat? Looks great btw. I'm interested to see the final product

I looked into this with a colleague. Both the behind the seat and the Garmin mount. The exchange rate, VAT and shipping would result in almost 2x the cost.

Agreed, PLA will definitely deform and eventually fail.

I would use nylon.

I have a spook of that. It’s strength is supposed to be awesome but harder to print and absorbs lots of water. Also 4x as much I think. I haven’t seen a benefit of that over PETG.

Does anybody know what the official Canyon mount is made of?

Interesting. I've not used it, but perhaps should have been on jobs where I used nylon.

Unobtainium...

Thanks for the info. We will definitely look into this. Much appreciated!

I wonder if it would be possible to create a carbon fiber version of it...

The Speedmax has bolt bosses built into the back of the seapost. So it attaches with standard bottle cage bolts.
