Don't throw that little interior cable guide out, you may end up wanting it in the future. Those guides can keep the cables from rattling around in the frame (and carbon frames sound like a friggin drum when something is loose inside). Looks sick man - nice build

not to mention for those that ride 3 to 4 days a week, I have seen bikes that didnt have interior cable guides that had the cable slowly wear through the down tube of carbon fiber frames. The bike I am referring to was a gen 5 Trek Fuel ex 9.7

That is a slick looking bike! I got an insane deal on the Canyon Strive CFR a few months ago for only $4199 on world bike day sale and have been very impressed. Just nutty spec for the price if you can get them on sale, not to mention the Strive has been my favorite bike to date and I've owned quite a few in the last few years (Evil Wreckoning, Propain Tyee, Canyon Spectral 29, Specialized Stumpjumper, Orbea Rallon, Niner Rip 9, Whyte 905).

I also have an fw torque. I'm thinking about upgrading the fork, but Canyon wrote an email to me saying that they haven't tested the longer or shorter travel yet, so they don't recommend doing that, and on the internet, it says I can upgrade to 190mm, so I wonder how does it feel using 200 mm, will it damage the bike? Can u give some suggestions? I want to know what u think. 😁

I upgraded just about everything on the bike, I may just upgrade my frame and forks to the s works epic evo and sid select ultimate forks. I don't know though. There's just so little selection here, it's crazy. Everything seems to be unavailable as well.
