This issue has nothing to do with Canyon. The Mavic wheel broke, Mavic should warrant it. Which they did by giving you a new wheel.

I feel that you may need to go custom. The 56cm felt is 4mm shorter on the toptube than the Cervelo. If you have short arms I would have thought that the Cervelo would be wrong size comparing this to the Felt geometry. I understand that the Cervelo has a high head tube, but with the extra 4cm...

Go Campagnolo and use a triple crank-set.

Contact the guys at Clarence Street Cycles. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

If its happening when you simply spin the wheel with no load on the fork it is more than likely and issue with the wheel. Could be a loose spindle or collapsed bearing.

If BustedKnuckle is correct and all that is lost is the bearings and spring, purchase these and repair it yourself. (pull them out of the left lever to check sizes) Or the part number for the replacement parts is EC-CE110 according to the 2009 Campagnolo Spare Parts catalogue. Try contacting...

Check the front derailleur hanger it may be cracked.

Can't understand why you could not use the 8speed derailleur. I've been using an 8speed shimano 105 derailleur with a 10speed campag cassette and shifter for over 18months with no problem. As for the chain dropping to the small ring under extreme (Sprinting) load, it could be an alignment...

Wouldn't wax paraffin solidify and stiffen the chain. I used lanolin (Wool Fat) once and this would cause the chain to stiffen in cold weather.

Soda Blasting. They use baking soda instead of sand or beads. Can also be used on Carbon. Its not as agressive as sand or bead blasting. Just make sure you rinse down well once the paint is removed. As wet Baking soda may etch into the aluminium if left for long periods.

To be Honest i very rarely change the front derailleur under load. Generally under load changes only occur on the rear derailleur. However i am generally cautious when out of the saddle and changing the front derailleur. I simply change the front derailleur until the chain is pushed against the...

Gear changing under load should have no baring whether electronic or mechanical shifting. It is all to do with the chain and the pick up points on the cassette. I use Mechanical Campag, which changes under load with no problem.

The only major advantage of electronic shifting is the auto trim of the front derailleur when the chain rubs. Other than that mechanical works just as well as electronic (Both Campag & Shimano). Is the extra price of electronic groups worth it when Auto-trim is the only advantage?

Don't use Silicone Glue. There is absolutely nothing in the world that will get silicone off if you need to re-paint the frame.

Instead of using brake cable housing try using the teflon inner of gear cable housing. This will allow the cable to glide easy and not rub on the metal frame. I'm sure you can purchase the teflon tube as an independent item.
