> As a 47-year-old independent bicycle dealer, Peak Sports respectfully disagrees with the opinion that consumer direct brands don't support local businesses. We are in the business of servicing bicycles, whether they were purchased from our shop or not. Short of an actual safety or liability issue, we welcome all brands of bicycles & parts into our workshop - as we always have. If we cannot order parts necessary to complete a repair properly, as may be the case for consumer direct brands such as Canyon or YT, we will work with the bike's owner to procure parts as needed. Peak Sports has invested heavily in expanding and updating our workshop to reflect the future of bicycle retail, with more space, more staff, more tools, and more training. As a business and as cyclists, we're invested in growing the sport and growing with the sport.

> Hi, just for an FYI in regards to Canyon.  
> Per their business model they do not support local business or service This makes it impossible for independent bike shops to properly support Canyons (or most any other direct only company) due in part to the inability to procure parts and service assistance, and the liability working on such a companies product would open the independent shop open to. You may find that many local bike shops are unwilling to open themselves up to such liability in the future.
> As the Service Manager for West End Bikes, I cannot and will not allow my service department to work on any and all Canyon Products. While this decision is very hard for me to make because after 30 years of being a mechanic I still absolutely love bikes and helping to keep others out enjoying what I love! I would absolutely hate having to tell you I couldn't get your bike fixed for your big event, after it fell over and the derailleur hanger was bent. Or the propitiatory cable guide or headset piece broke and you had to contact Germany to get a replacement part and you have to wait weeks to get it fixed. It really bothers me when I am powerless to help my customers and friends, so I've had to make this my official stance.

> Also, it’s not they don’t use totally normal parts and components top to bottom.  95% of the parts and components on ANY modern bicycle are readily off the shelf items, or can easily be replaced with an off the shelf item quickly.  There’s absolutely no reason to not service someone’s bicycle.  If it was 25 years old and you had no idea where to get parts, that would be one thing, but a brand new state of the art bike?  Your just losing revenue and turning away customers, that will be much less likely to come back for other items like tubes, tires, gels, chains, etc.

> I bought a Canyon Endurace in January.  I've taken it to two local shops and neither turned my away or gave me any noticeable attitude.  As far as ordering parts, I ordered the bike on a Sunday night and it was delivered Thursday (maybe Wednesday but I can't remember for sure).  So yeah, not a long lead time to PDX, and a shorter one than an LBS quoted me for ordering a DT Swiss freehub.  As far as propriety goes it does have a straight 1-1/4" steerer tube so that could cause a delay if I need a new stem or head set ASAP.  Other than that I love it.  Only other nit to pick is it's marketed/designed as an all around endurance bike so omitting fender mounts is a bit of a head scratcher.

> Canyon is not the only maker that has proprietary (sp) parts and or can just be ordered on line.  Most of you reading this are connected to the concept of buying online and often at the high end spectrum, if it was “what you wanted”, it would be no big deal.  The fact that someone does not like that concept (does not want to purchase / work on such bikes) is just her / his choice.  Granted the fact that a person with that leaning decides to post to this yellowjacket nest full of expert advice does make for the usual attacks.  She has said what she thinks.  Instead of preaching on and on, just buy where you want and let things find the balance.  There are way more important things to consider in most people’s lives than what you think about someone choosing to work on a certain brand of bicycle.  Do your thing (practice your religion) and let others practice theirs.  Man….. I cannot believe this is taking place when people would be out riding hard, thus allowing the endorphins to make things seem pretty much OK.  So now I have kept this shit going…..sorry folks.

> Also, it’s not they don’t use totally normal parts and components top to bottom.  95% of the parts and components on ANY modern bicycle are readily off the shelf items, or can easily be replaced with an off the shelf item quickly.  There’s absolutely no reason to not service someone’s bicycle.  If it was 25 years old and you had no idea where to get parts, that would be one thing, but a brand new state of the art bike?  Your just losing revenue and turning away customers, that will be much less likely to come back for other items like tubes, tires, gels, chains, etc.
