I think the best aero bar set up in canyon. You have to buy it over seas and ship it in. If I could put this on a revolt i would buy a revolt.
Prob need to put flame suit on for my opinion on this
I do like how module those aero extensions are without having to modify a bunch.
Will they work on any normal bikes round stem, or what are the compatibility requirements? I see someone in the comments mentioning they have them on an s-works. What’s the limitation with the revolt?
Revolt has a 1.5” steer tube.
Yeah I think the canyon bars will work with any bike that has a 1 1/8” steer tube. The set up on the aeroad would be better as you could have less flair and use the aero bar. But the aeroad bar only works on the current aeroad steer tube
I like my factor bars but they don’t have risers. When I inquired about risers they said they don’t sell them and don’t endorse anyone using them.

Ben Delany’s review of the new Topstone. I like his content, he’s not shy to point out the stuff he doesn’t like. Most of his negatives have already been pointed out in this thread.
Yes, curious about the quoted tire clearance. Especially with the pictured 2.2 tire clearance in post 114 here https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=176431&start=435

Revolt question for you…I also have the same gen Revolt and the clearance for the chainring is tight. I am only running a 44, but the guys at the shop said they had to put all the spacers on the drive side so it wouldn’t be too tight and rubbing. So we were all wondering how Cole Paton or Brendan Johnston or in this case, you…fit a larger chainring on this bike?? Did you do anything special? I’ve tried two different BB’s and neither has created a bunch of room for me.
you running SRAM Wide BB?
How is the clearance? Could you easily clear a 2.2 as well?
I don’t know about their bikes, but I remember Keegan running a big 1x chainring last year that was rubbing the chainstay when under load. I also remember speculation that he spaced it to the right slightly for extra clearance (so the crank wasn’t perfectly centered). Not sure that’s an option I’d consider, but you could probably adjust a few MM out by just shifting cleats a bit (somewhat negating the off center crank).
Yeah I’m running a 48t chainring, all it requires was changing out a BB spacers. I forgot which size I switched it out (I’ll try to figure that out without pulling it apart, but it was simple and easy, took maybe 10mins. It moves the chain line out a bit, but I haven’t had any problems. No rubbing, plenty of room for junk. I am using a Sram wide.
Plenty of clearance, definitely could fit 2.2s. I am using a sram wide.
Should be a good value for money option and I think they’re pretty good at tracking trends in this space.
Shame they stopped doing frameset-only options as they were about the same cost as a Revolt.
Yes, now I have a SRAM Dub wide BB. I had a BBInfinite before that they say fits that bike but it was millimeters of space between the chainring and chainstay. Now at least I have plenty of space with a 44, but was just wondering in case I wanted to go bigger. Thanks guys.
I believe what you’re referencing is in his highball and he was running XPLR thread on chainrings on an XXSL power meter. The XPLR threaded chainrings have a 6mm offset vs the 3mm or 0mm for the T-type chain rings. In that case he spaced the whole assembly to the drive side to clear the chainring.
Edit - link to the build here

I dont think thats his normal gravel set up since that crank is limited to a 46. A lot of times he is running an aero chain ring which is at least a 48
Correct, the setup I described above was his Highball (MTB) for Leadville. Someone had mentioned tight clearance, chain ring rubbing, offset crank, and I was identifying where the setup was used.
