Just followed https://www.reddit.com/r/CanyonBikes/comments/1cjcgxe/luggage_rack_on_a_carbon_road_bike_tailfin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button (de: https://www.rennrad-news.de/forum/threads/howto-gep%C3%A4cktr%C3%A4ger-am-carbon-rennrad.193418/) to fit a rack to my #Canyon Grizl CF SF 6 AXS (2024), worked like a charm an much cheaper than a #Tailfin. Spacers for the axle were not needed. Only 50mm tires might be a little tight.
Used one metal 5.3x10x1mm DIN-125-A spacer to fix it now (with screws tightened to 3Nm). Mostly an inconvenience but would be nice if these were included.
Got a #Tailfin 10l Fork Pack for my Canyon Grizl (Carbon Fork). For the price I‘m a little disappointed with the rounded mount which presses into the mostly flat carbon of the fork (fortunately I did not tighten it to more than 1Nm). I‘m a little concerned this dents / breaks the carbon with more force.
The #Ortlieb Fork Packs specifically have optional spacers to ensure the mount presses against the metal screw housing in the fork, not against the surrounding carbon material.
