CARE AND INSPECTION
SERVICING AND INSPECTION
First service:
A special maintenance schedule has been developed
by our experienced technicians. On the first kilo-
metres/miles, for example, the wheels may be subject
to a certain bedding in process or Bowden and brake
cables may stretch, making gear shifting imprecise.
Depending on how much you cycle, the repair of worn
down parts may be necessary already. In this case
you will be contacted by a service technician before-
hand.
Regular annual service:
Following a long and challenging season we recom-
mend that you have your bike thoroughly checked.
Who could do this better than those who have built
your bike?
The annual service will be carried out by our skilled
staff according to a maintenance schedule tailored to
your bicycle type.
In case you pack your Canyon to send it in
i
to the Canyon workshop, be sure to strictly
follow the packing instructions "How to pack your
road bike" enclosed with the BikeGuard.
In particular lightweight components may
have a reduced service life. For your own
safety make sure to have the components listed
in chapter "Service and maintenance schedule"
checked at the indicated intervals and replaced,
if necessary.
The Canyon torque wrench
To be able to enjoy your Canyon for many
!
years it needs to be serviced regularly.
The schedule given in chapter "Service and main-
tenance schedule" is a rough guide for cyclists
who ride their bike between 1,000 and 2,500 km
(620 and 1,550 miles) a year. If your Canyon does
harder service, either because your mileage is
consistently greater or because you ride a great
deal on poor road surfaces or cross-country, it
will require correspondingly shorter maintenance
periods. This includes frequent rides in the rain or
generally in moist conditions, as well.
Canyon safety check:
If you ride your Canyon clearly less than 1,000 km
(620 miles) a year, it requires correspondingly less
servicing. In this case the Canyon safety check is ex-
actly what you need. Our specialists have developed
an extra schedule for this demand-oriented mainte-
nance. This schedule includes less routines than an
annual service, however all safety-relevant issues.
We recommend that you have this check carried out
before setting off into the new bike season or before
going on a bike trip so that you can take off without
a care.
Please make an appointment in advance to ensure
that your Canyon runs through this check as quickly
as possible.
