ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench.
Insert the Allen key fully into the screw head.
Slowly turn the handle of the Canyon torque wrench.
Once the bolt is getting tight, the pointer moves over
the scale. Stop the turning movement as soon as the
pointer reaches the number for the specified torque.
Assemble your Canyon using the Canyon
i
torque wrench enclosed with the Bike-
Guard.
USING THE CANYON ASSEMBLY PASTE
Carbon fibre components are particularly vulnerable
to damage caused by excessive clamping force. Can-
yon assembly paste creates extra friction between
two surfaces, allowing the necessary tightening
torque to be reduced by up to 30 %.
This is especially useful in the clamping areas of
handlebars and stem, steerer tube and stem and
seat post and seat tube, i.e. three areas where too
much clamping force can damage either component,
causing component failure or voiding the warranty.
By reducing the clamping force, Canyon assembly
paste relieves stress on sensitive carbon surfaces,
preventing damage to fibres or the cracking of the
carbon substructure.
It also retains its effectiveness in wet conditions and
provides maximum protection against corrosion.
Canyon assembly paste can be used for all carbon
and aluminium connections. It's ideal for this pur-
pose, as it does not harden.
Prior to applying Canyon assembly paste, remove dirt
particles and lubricant residues from the surfaces to
be treated. Apply a thin and even film of Canyon as-
sembly paste to the cleaned surfaces using a brush
or a chamois.
Mount the components, as specified. Use the Canyon
torque wrench and never exceed the prescribed max-
imum tightening torque! Remove excessive Canyon
assembly paste and re-seal the small sachet after
use.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
UNPACKING
Remove the protective cardboard at one end and the
box with small parts.
Take out the cardboard box with the front wheel
stowed in parallel to the bike frame in the BikeGuard.
The front wheel may be packed additionally in a wheel
bag.
Please note that the saddle and the seat post are
fixed to the front wheel. Put the cardboard box care-
fully aside.
Keep the entire packaging material as well
i
as the BikeGuard in a dry place. If you in-
tend to ship your Canyon or to take it with you on
a trip, you will have everything at hand.
You will not find the wheels packed in
i
wheel bags in every BikeGuard.
