REPLACEABLE DERAILLEUR HANGER
All frame models have a sufficiently fastened replace-
able derailleur hanger. Observe a tightening torque of
1.5 Nm. Do not exceed the maximum torque of 1.5 Nm.
BOTTLE CAGE
Use a maximum torque of 4.5 Nm. Do not exceed the
maximum torque of 4.5 Nm.
CABLE STOPS
The cable stops riveted onto the Canyon Ultimate CF
frame must only be subjected to forces acting in the
same direction as the gear or brake cables. Forces
acting at an oblique angle or against the direction of
the cable can cause damage to the frame.
Do not exceed the maximum torque of 1.5 Nm when replacing the re-
placeable derailleur hanger
Do not exceed the maximum torque of 4.5 Nm when tightening the
bottle cage
When replacing the derailleur hanger,
i
make sure to apply a little grease between
derailleur hanger and frame!
SEAT POST
When selecting a new seat post make sure it has the
same nominal diameter as the frame's seat tube. You
should be able to slide it in easily without pressing or
turning. A mismatch between frame and seat post can
cause failure of the seat post.
Before mounting the seat post on the frame make
sure the seat tube is absolutely free of sharp edges
and burrs. If either the seat post or the frame is made
of carbon, then both parts have to be free of oil and
grease. Clean and deburr the seat tube, if necessary.
Take care not to overtighten the seat post binder bolt
or quick-release. Be sure to read the notes given in
chapter "Adjusting the saddle to the correct height"
as well as the permitted torques in chapter "General
notes on care and inspection" and follow the operat-
ing instructions of the component manufacturers, as
well. Overtightening may cause a seat post failure,
resulting in a crash and/or injury of the rider.
Observe the information on seat post
i
diameters given under www.canyon.com/
service
Use Canyon carbon assembly paste to
i
achieve a firm seat of the seat post.

Make sure the seat post matches accurately the frame
Take care not to overtighten the seat post binder bolt
Even a slight mismatch between seat post
and seat tube diameter can lead to a rup-
ture of frame or carbon seat post. This can result
in an accident or injury to the rider.
Never grease a carbon seat post or the
seat tube of a carbon frame.
Slide your seat post into the seat tube
beyond its minimum mark and make sure
its end reaches beyond the top tube. Never ride
your Canyon with the minimum mark of the seat
post being visible.
