18 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Place the cap on top and tighten the bolt to a tight-
ening torque of 2 Nm by using the Canyon torque
wrench.
Position the handlebar-stem-combination in the mid-
dle. Check the alignment of the handlebar-stem-com-
bination; the handlebars should be at right angle to
the front wheel and/or the stem should be in parallel
to it.
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench. Start by tightening slightly the clamp-
ing bolts of the stem evenly. Make sure the clamping
slot is identical in width. Finish by tightening the bolts
to the marked tightening torque (5 Nm).
When using a box cutter make sure you do
not damage the component or injure your-
self. Make it a rule to cut away from you and the
component!
MOUNTING THE HANDLEBARS
Keep hold of the handlebars and undo the band with
Velcro fastener in the top at the stem fixing the han-
dlebars.
Keep hold of the handlebars to prevent any twisting,
dropping and damage of them. Undo the band with
Velcro fastener fixing the handlebars in the bottom
to the fork.
Remove the protective film and sleeves from the
handlebars. It is recommended that you remove the
protective material in general by hand. If that is not
possible, it is best to use scissors, and if it is really
necessary, use a box cutter.
Let the handlebars carefully hang down.
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench. Release the clamping bolts of the
stem face plate and remove the face plate.
Open the Canyon assembly paste. Squeeze out some
assembly paste and apply a thin layer of carbon as-
sembly paste on the inner side of the faceplate as well
as in the clamping area of the stem body.
Position the handlebars by means of the marking
accurately centred in the stem clamp. Make sure
the bowden cables and the lines are not twisted or
bent, but run in a smooth curve to the cable stops or
brakes.

Alternative 1: Screwing in Canyon Aheadset ® -stems
with faceplate.

Screw in both upper bolts (pos. 1+2) without tight-
ening them (1 Nm). The slot should be fully closed in
the end, the faceplate should be flush with the body.
To do so, you may have to release both lower bolts
(pos. 3+4).
Continue by tightening both lower bolts (pos. 3+4)
according to the tightening torques on the stem (5
or 8 Nm).
Finish by re-tightening both upper bolts (pos. 1+2)
according to the tightening torques on the stem (5
or 8 Nm).
Alternative 2: Screwing in conventional Aheadset ® -
stems with faceplate.
Retighten the clamping bolts of the faceplate evenly
in a cross pattern until they lightly hold the handle-
bars in place.
Make sure the upper and lower clamping slots be-
tween faceplate and stem body are parallel and iden-
tical in width. Release the clamping bolts once again,
if necessary, and re-tighten them slightly and evenly.
