28 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
After the wheel mounting do a brake test when sta-
tionary. Actuating the brake lever should generate a
clear-cut braking response before the lever touches
the handlebars. For more information read chapter
"The brake system".
Check the proper functioning of the gears. Shift
through all the gears.
After the assembly and the checking, al-
ways do a test ride in an unfrequented
place or on a quiet road! Wrong assembly or im-
proper adjustments that become apparent in road
traffic or during off-road use can make you lose
control of your Canyon!
If your Urban bike has derailleur gears, make sure the
rear derailleur does not collide with the spokes when
the chain runs on the largest sprocket.
For more information on gear adjustment read chap-
ter "The gears" as well as the manuals of the compo-
nent manufacturers.
If your Urban bike has a Gates belt drive, two yellow
markings on the right side of the hub must be brought
in alignment to ensure proper adjustment. This is
achieved by adjusting the Bowden cable directly at
the shift lever, similar to the adjustment of gear de-
railleurs.
For more information on gear adjustment read chap-
ter "The gears" as well as the manuals of the compo-
nent manufacturers.
Regularly check the tight fit of the bolted
!
connection of the hub and of the torque
support to the frame.
Adjust the position of the saddle and handlebars and
check that the handlebars, grips and seat post are
securely fastened, as described in chapter "Adjusting
the Urban bike to the rider".
Check the reliable fit of all bolts once
again according to the prescribed torque
values after 100 to 300 km (60 to 180 miles). For
more information read chapters "General notes on
care and inspection", "Recommended torque val-
ues" and "Service and maintenance schedule" in
your bicycle manual Urban.

Your seat post must go into the frame as a minimum
to as far as underneath the top tube and up to the
MIN/MAX marking of the seat post.
Never ride your Canyon if the MIN/MAX
marking of the seat post is visible.
Inflate both tyres to the maximum pressure indicated
on the side of the tyres. You will find more information
on tyres and tubes under "Service" at our website
www.canyon.com or contact our service hotline at

Finish the assembly by carrying out thoroughly the
tests described in chapter "Before your first ride".
