ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
SPECIAL CASE CANYON SPEEDMAX
Some Canyon models (e.g. Speedmax CF and Speed-
max AL) have an oval shaped seat post. Mounting
anything than the standard seat post is therefore
impossible. Release both Allen bolts at the seat post
clamp.
Apply a little Canyon assembly paste on the bottom
part of the seat post and inside the seat tube.
Do not clamp a frame tube or a carbon seat
!
post of your Canyon in the holding jaws of
the workstand! This could crush the tubes! It is
recommended that you use a workstand which
holds the frame at three points from inside or
which holds the fork and bottom bracket shell.
Slide the seat post into the seat tube to the desired
saddle height. Insert the built-in seat post clamp.
Tighten up the Allen bolt of the seat post clamp to the
prescribed torque of 4 Nm up to a maximum of 6 Nm.
Your seat post must go into the frame as a minimum
to as far as underneath the top tube and up to the
MAX marking of the seat post.
MOUNTING THE PEDALS
Canyon road bikes can be fitted with standard race
pedals of the major brands.
Before mounting the pedals, check the marking on
the pedal axles first. "R" stands for right pedal and
"L" for left pedal.
Note that the left pedal has a left-handed thread that
has to be tightened contrary to the direction you are
accustomed to, i.e. anticlockwise.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Apply a thin layer of standard assembly grease on the
pedal threads before screwing in the pedals.
Screw each pedal manually into the thread of its
crank by two to three full turns.
Continue by using a pedal spanner to tighten the ped-
als firmly. Some pedal types have to be tightened with
an Allen key.
Check the reliable fit of the pedals after
about 100 km (60 miles). The pedals can
come loose, and this can destroy the thread and
throw the rider off his bike.
