Turns out I am 174cm tall and 76cm so edging towards an xs in Ridley's site. As an earlier poster asks is there a potential issue with toe overlap?

Anyone knows if a left side crank powermeter will fit (enough clearance)? Talking about a GRX style powermeter of 4iii.

Just to let all know, a left crank powermeter will never fit. Also the relatively flat Stages one, no luck.

I opted for an Assioma SPD pedal conversion.

Hello,

Small question about the standard seatpost include in the frameset. Can I mount a carbon oval rail saddle on it ?

Anyone know what the max chainring clearance is? This seems like it would be a candidate for n-1 road and gravel.

How are your bikes holding up? I saw some quite concerning stuff on YouTube about the headtube scratching the frame etc. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/dLxmOCu7lEU

My frame is scratched there as well. My first ride was in HORRIBLE weather (and a long one), and it got scratched on the headtube like in the video.

Applied clear protection film on it after that ride, should have done it before. So yes, it scratches there but can be solved with some protective clear film.

Otherwise, love the bike. Came from a Canyon Grail CF SL, and like this one a bit better. Both bikes are brilliant, but the Kanzo for me wins because of seating position (I have a narrower bar and stem combo from the Noah Fast). Also the bike looks the part....

Not sure what the max is, I run a 42T at the moment which has a lot of clearance still.

Sounds positive! Is yours on the classified hub as well?

Would it clear something like a 50 though? I like the 48-50 chainring with a mullet combo for fast gravel

FYI, Ridley website allows you to configure Classified version with a 48T Rotor chainring.

Thanks for the info. I had been looking at data sheet and it didn’t specify, but I didn’t do that
