ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
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.
Check that the saddle is aligned centrally. Check the
alignment of the saddle along the top and the down
tube.
Check the proper functioning of the gears. Shift
through all the gears.
Make sure that the rear derailleur does not collide
with the spokes when the chain runs on the largest
sprocket. Apply pressure on the rear derailleur in or-
der to exclude a collision and gently spin the wheel.
You can find further information on adjusting the
gears in chapter "The gears" in your bicycle manual
road bike on the enclosed CD.
Never ride your Canyon if the MAX marking
of the seat post is visible.
Check the tight fit of the seat post. Try to turn the
components.
Check the tight fit of the handlebars and of the shift/
brake levers. Try to turn the components. The handle-
bars must be tight and withstand any downward jerk.
Gently retighten the clamping bolt(s), if necessary.

Finish the assembly by carrying out thor-
oughly the tests described in chapters
"Before your first ride" and "Before every ride".
Check the reliable fit of all bolts once again
according to the prescribed tightening tor-
ques after 100 to 300 km (60 to 180 miles). For
more information, read chapters "General notes
on care and inspection", "Recommended tighten-
ing torques" and "Service and maintenance
schedule" in your bicycle manual road bike on the
enclosed CD.
After completing the assembly and checks
it is essential to give your Canyon a test
ride in a level, unfrequented area (e.g. in a park-
ing lot)! Wrong assembly or improper adjustments
that become apparent in road traffic or during use
of your bike can make you lose control of your
Canyon!
