I ordered some assembly paste online but unfortunately I still have not received it, so that's why I waited with building the bike. So much for delivery within "1-3 days"...pfft!

I don't really think the assembly paste is terribly important on a bike with no CF-metal interfaces. But for a newcomer to this kinda stuff, Canyon's manuals are very confusing.
I use CF assembly paste wherever one or more of the mating surfaces is CF. Brand does not matter IMHO. I use Tacxx because that is what I have on hand, not because there is anything special about it.
