What To Bear In Mind When Adding Components Or Making Changes - Canyon Urban Manual

32 WHEELGUARD
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres from the
ground so that the wheel is suspended and hit the
tyre from above. A securely fastened wheel re-
mains in the axle mounts of frame or fork and will
not rattle.
Improperly mounted wheels may throw you
off your bicycle or result in serious acci-
dents!
Never ride a bicycle without having first
checked whether the wheels are securely
fastened! A wheel that comes loose whilst riding
will throw you off your bicycle!
If your bicycle has a Wheelguard, be sure
i
to lock the frame to an immovable object
together with the wheels when you leave it out-
side.
With an insufficiently closed Wheelguard
the wheels can come loose. Imminent risk
of accident!
WHAT TO BEAR IN
MIND WHEN ADDING
COMPONENTS OR
MAKING CHANGES
Canyon bikes are sport machines which are fitted
according to the respective usage. Note that the
mounting of mudguards, pannier racks or such like
may impair the functioning and hence the safety
whilst riding. Before buying and mounting any ac-
cessory, check whether this particular accessory
part matches with your Canyon. With additional bells,
horns or lighting accessories, inform yourself thor-
oughly whether they are permitted and tested and ac-
cordingly approved for use on public roads. Battery/
accumulator-operated lights have to be marked with
the wavy line and the letter "K" (see chapter "Legal
requirements for riding on public roads").
If you want to mount a pannier rack or a child seat
or trailer, read chapter "Intended use" beforehand to
make sure whether it is permitted. If a mounting is
permitted, in general, contact our service hotline at
+44 208 5496001 and ask for suitable models.
Only perform jobs you are absolutely sure of.
Handlebars, stems and forks should only be replaced
by a skilled mechanic. Be sure to observe the manual
of the accessory manufacturer. When mounting other
components and accessories, it is your responsibility
to mount the components appropriately. Bring your
Canyon to the Canyon service workshop, if you have
the slightest doubt.

Retrofitted accessories, such as mud-
guards, pannier racks etc., can impair the
functioning of your Canyon. We therefore advise
you to use accessories from our product range.
This will ensure you use matching components.
Components that come loose or break off
as a result of improper mounting can cause
serious accidents. Safety-relevant bolts must be
tightened to their prescribed torque values.
