Servicing And Inspection; Service And Maintenance Schedule - Canyon Urban Manual

56 CARE AND INSPECTION

SERVICING AND INSPECTION

First service:
A special maintenance schedule has been developed
by our experienced technicians. On the first kilo-
metres/miles, for example, the wheels may be subject
to a certain bedding-in process or bowden and brake
cables may stretch, making gear shifting imprecise.
Depending on how much you cycle, the repair of
worn-down parts may be necessary already. In this
case you will be contacted by a service technician
beforehand.
Regular annual service:
Following a long and challenging season we recom-
mend that you have your bike thoroughly checked.
Who could do this better than those who have built
your bike?
The annual service will be carried out by our skilled
staff according to a maintenance schedule tailored to
your bicycle type.
Canyon safety check:
If you ride your Canyon less than 1,000 km (620
miles) a year, it requires correspondingly less servic-
ing. In this case the Canyon safety check is exactly
what you need. For this purpose our specialists have
developed a schedule for this demand-oriented main-
tenance. This schedule includes less routines than an
annual service, however all safety-relevant issues.
We recommend that you have this check carried out
before setting off into the new bike season or before
going on a bike trip so that you can take off without
a care.
Make an appointment in advance to ensure that your
Canyon runs through this check as quickly as pos-
sible.
In case you pack your Canyon to send it in
i
to our workshop, you have to observe a
few things to bring your bike safe and sound to its
destination. You will find more information on how
to pack your Canyon under "Service" at our web-
site www.canyon.com! Strictly follow these in-
structions, whenever you pack your bike.
In particular lightweight components may
have a reduced service life. For your own
safety make sure to have the components listed in
chapter "Service and maintenance schedule"
checked at the indicated intervals and replaced, if
necessary.
To be able to enjoy your Canyon for many
!
years it needs to be serviced regularly. The
schedule given in chapter "Service and mainte-
nance schedule" is a rough guide for cyclists who
ride their bike between 1,500 and 2,500 km (930
and 1,550 miles) a year. If your Canyon does hard-
er service, either because your mileage is consist-
ently greater or because you ride a great deal on
poor road surfaces or field and forest tracks, it
will require correspondingly shorter maintenance
periods. This includes frequent rides in the rain or
generally in moist conditions, as well.
If a component needs to be replaced, make
!
it a rule to only use original spare parts.
You will find numerous service details on
i
our website www.canyon.com that will
help you carry out small repair and maintenance
works. Never do work on your bicycle unless you
feel absolutely sure about it! If you are in doubt or
if you have any questions, contact our service
hotline at +44 208 5496001.
