Assembly From The Bikeguard - Canyon Urban Manual

10 BEFORE EVERY RIDE
4. If you want to ride on public roads or in the dark,
check the lighting set, see chapters "Lighting" and
"Legal requirements for riding on public roads".
5. Let your Urban bike bounce on the ground from a
small height. If there is any rattling, see where it
comes from. Check the bearings and bolted con-
nections, if necessary.
6. The major accessory for a successful cycling tour
is a small tool bag fitted underneath the saddle.
The tool kit should include two plastic tyre levers,
the most commonly used Allen keys, a spare tube,
a tyre repair kit, your mobile phone and a little
cash. Do not forget a tyre pump mounted to the
frame.
7. Take a sturdy lock with you, if you intend to leave
your Urban bike in a public area. The only way
to protect your Urban bike as much as possible
against theft in a public area is to lock it to an im-
movable object.
Always wear suitable, bright clothing; as a
minimum you should wear straight-cut
trousers or use leg bands or the like. This is to
make sure your trousers do not get caught in the
chain or the chainrings. Risk of a fall! In addition,
wear shoes fitting the pedal system of your bike.
To safe your Urban bike from damage, ob-
!
serve the maximum overall load and the
regulations regarding the transport of baggage
and children given in chapter "Intended use". Fur-
thermore, before transporting the bike by car or
plane you should read the information under "Ser-
vice" at our website www.canyon.com
Never ride without lighting in the dark
Emergency kit
During use your Urban bike is undergoing
stress resulting from the surface of the
road and through the rider's action. Due to these
dynamic loads, the different parts of your bike re-
act with wear. Check your Canyon regularly for
wear marks as well as for scratches, dents, bent
parts and incipient cracking. Components that
have passed their normal service life may sudden-
ly fail. Have your Canyon inspected regularly so
that components can be replaced, if necessary.
For more information on maintenance and opera-
tional safety, read chapters "General notes on
care and inspection", "Recommended torque val-
ues" and "Service and maintenance schedule".
ASSEMBLY FROM THE
BIKEGUARD
Assembling the bike from the BikeGuard is no witch-
craft, but you should proceed with care and deliber-
ation. Unprofessional assembly can render the bike
unsafe.
First we would like to make you familiar with the vari-
ous components of your Canyon.
Unfold the front cover of your bicycle manual Urban.
Here you will find the illustration of a Canyon Urban
bike showing all the essential components. Keep this
page folded out while you are reading. This means
that you can quickly find the component that is being
referred to in the text.
The illustration shows an arbitrary Canyon Urban
bike – this is not what every bike will look like.
First, open the BikeGuard.
To do this, only use a box cutter or a similar knife with
a very short blade. Never use any kind of knife on the
bicycle itself.
Share the pleasure that your new Canyon
i
brings and ask a helper to assist you in
unpacking it from the BikeGuard and in assem-
bling it.

ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD

CHECKING THE CONTENTS OF THE BIKEGUARD
The BikeGuard contains the assembled frameset with
the rear wheel mounted and all add-on parts as well
as the front wheel which is sometimes packed sepa-
rately in a wheel bag and the saddle with seat post.
In addition, the BikeGuard contains a box with small
parts (e.g. Wheelguard, reflectors, possibly pedals)
and the toolcase with Canyon torque wrench incl.
bits, Canyon assembly paste and the bicycle manual
Urban.
The easiest and safest way to assemble
i
the bike is when you use a workstand or
ask someone to help you.
Do not work on your Canyon with a box cut-
ter. You may damage the component or hurt
yourself. Be sure to use scissors where needed.
