Fore-To-Aft-Position And Saddle Tilt - Canyon Speedmax CF SLX Manual

30 ADJUSTING THE CANYON SPEEDMAX CF SLX TO THE RIDER

FORE-TO-AFT-POSITION AND SADDLE TILT

The fore-and-aft position of the saddle can be
adjusted individually over a wide range. Four
adjustment options are available for this:
Shifting the saddle rails in the saddle clamp-
ing device
Clamping the saddle rails in the front or rear
clamping slide holes
Shifting the saddle slide horizontally in the
slotted hole of the seat post
Turning the saddle slide on the seat post by
180°
However, this also influences your pedalling.
Depending on whether the saddle is posi-
tioned more to the front or more rearwards,
your legs will reach the pedals to a greater or
lesser extent from behind.
Slide the seat post in the seat tube to the de-
sired saddle height and tighten the Allen bolt
at the seat post clamp to the indicated torque
value of 6 Nm.
In addition, the saddle slide can be turned by
180° on the seat post. This produces a wide
adjustment range of 0 mm to 85 mm distance
from the middle of the bottom bracket.
ADJUSTING THE CANYON SPEEDMAX CF SLX TO THE RIDER
Undo the two Allen bolts which clamp the
saddle slide to the seat post by two or three
turns. If necessary, hold the bolts in place on
the other side with another Allen wrench.
If the saddle slide cannot yet be shifted, also
loosen the two nearly vertical bolts a little
without shifting the saddle in the saddle
clamping device.
You can now move the saddle horizontally in
the seat post and adjust the tilt to your needs.
If the range is not enough, you can undo the
two almost vertical bolts. Shift the saddle
rails in the saddle clamping device.
Ensure when doing this that the saddle rails
have been positioned in such a way that the
clamp of the seat post is within the prescribed
range. If there is no marking at the sad-
dle rails, the clamping must be done on the
straight portion of the rails and on no account
on the front or rear bend. Risk of breakage!
