    Hi I have a 2017 Canyon Ultimate 9.0.

    It’s got the Acros AI-70 clamp setup with the little T6 screw to adjust.
    The screw is currently spinning and not clamping the spacers.

    Has anyone had this problem?
    Thinking of changing it out for a top cap expander setup.
    Thanks.

    You set it up once and it stays, in my experience. Unless you are removing the handle bars. You finger tighten it. Did you break it?

    I've broken one before and same it kept spinning, the plastic seems flimsy enough, LBS just popped on another cap and all sorted

    Yes it’s very cheap and flemsy. Did your LBS just put on the top cap expander screw type?

    Very easy to fcuk up one of those fiddly setscrews. I think they did improve the most recent version of the Ai-70 clamp. Get a decent Torx screwdriver somewhere instead of using the Canyon supplied one.
