ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Check the proper functioning of the gears.
You can find further information on adjusting the
gears in chapter "The gears" in your bicycle manual
road bike on the enclosed CD.
Shift through all gears and make sure the rear derail-
leur does not collide with the spokes when the chain
runs on the largest sprocket.
MOUNTING THE SADDLE AND THE SEAT POST
Remove the protective cap from the top end of the
seat tube. Release the seat post binder bolt at the
seat tube. Read beforehand chapter "Adjusting the
Canyon road bike to the rider" in your bicycle manual
road bike and on the enclosed CD.
You should be able to insert the seat post easily into
the frame without pressing or turning. If you are not,
loosen the seat post binder bolt a little more.
Pull the seat post out again. Apply a little Canyon
assembly paste to the bottom part of the seat post
and inside the seat tube or in the clamping area of
the seat post.
Slide the seat post into the seat tube to the desired
saddle height.
Never ride your Canyon if the MAX marking
of the seat post is visible.
Bring the saddle into alignment and do not overtight-
en the seat post binder bolt, i.e. do not exceed the
permissible maximum torque. Use the Canyon torque
wrench.
Measure the saddle height of your previ-
i
ous bicycle from the middle of the bottom
bracket up to the top edge of the saddle in the
middle of the saddle. Then transfer the saddle
height to your new Canyon.
