Last week the 2018 CF SLX 9.0 SL became available in my frame size in the morning, bought it, and 2 hours later showed as sold out. People are hawking the website, quite like I was. Oh my goodness this bike is a bullet. All smiles with my new Canyon 
Jay - Are you able to speak to what the five models coming available later this month will be? Thanks
Sorry… that was to say, five “copies” of the XS bike that person was interested in. Five XS bikes in this shipment, that is.
Sorry, I misread that…wishful thinking perhaps! Do you have a rough estimate on when you think the US site will have CF SLX9.0 small bikes available?

There were a few available last week (2018 model) in size Small. I got mine in that group. No i did not get the email alert i signed up for though.
Is there any update on when the 2019 CF8.0 Di2 will be available in the US? The new blue and black styles are available on the international site and are sweet! I see that frame is in the US for the LTD model but not the standard yet. Will that be coming?
Also,
If anyone is looking for the seat post water bottle cage mount in North America, they have it available on the backend, not on the website yet. Just ordered one.

Here are some photos of my cockpit. Sorry about the quality, lightning isn’t the best in my pain cave in the basement.

Haven’t had time to trim the rubber “thing†hugging the frame, currently there is some extra overlapping with the head tube.
Was it a fairly straightforward process to switch over to the PD setup? Been considering this but wasn’t sure how simple of a change it was considering the cable routing

Very straightforward, at least with the di2 wires. I just unplugged the wires from the junction box and routed cables trough the stem and reconnected. The front brake was easy also, the cover of the cable just a bit too short but I got it to work (didn’t have time to tinker with it and put a new cover). The rear brake cable doesn’t go trough the stem.
hrm wonder how bad it would be for mechanical setup. Might have to do a bit more investigating because the finished product does look clean.
Does anybody have a recommendation for a hard travel case for the CF?
nervous about a bike bag for flight.
thanks.
Can anyone show me what this team switch plate is?
I apologize if this has been covered already
The teams switch plate looks like the standard switch plate, but has more length in it, allowing it to be flipped fore or aft to provide not only more width adjust (as the standard switch plate does) but also that added fore/aft pad placement. Photo attached. As with a few accessories (including our rear bottle holder for the Speedmax SLX and CF), it’s not on the website, but we do have them in stock. Just call our guys here in Carlsbad on our toll free line (833.226.9661) and you can order it. The Team Switchplate is $20 a set.
How does this affect arm pad tilt?
If it does how much tilt can u still get?

Were you calling every week? I just called them again and they said no tri bikes until March…

Does not affect the tilt at all.

I have been using the Premiere Tactical Bike Box since getting my SLX, bit pricey but has been a great case thus far.
As far as a “bag”, I would look into the EVOC, even though it is “soft” it is a great bag, very well constructed and I had no issues with it over the 4 years that I owned it and probably into the ~100 flights with it.
What’s the max tilt you can get out of the bar?
Are you talking about the CF or the CF SLX? From what I know the CF is more of a “standard” Tri bar/stem and you can adjust the tilt really easily at the extension clamps, no additional hardware is needed.
If you are talking CF SLX (integrated bar/system), then you do need additional hardware and it is a set tilt of 9*, see pg 57 top right (https://media.canyon.com/download/2016/Canyon_Speedmax_EN.pdf?_ga=2.35496161.1722877743.1543323491-479096960.1502819710).
