Adjusting The Trail Of The Fork - Canyon Speedmax CF SLX Manual

40 ADJUSTING THE CANYON SPEEDMAX CF SLX TO THE RIDER
After sawing carbon extensions seal the cut
end with two-component adhesive (epoxy
resin), clear lacquer or superglue.
Immediately wipe off to the side of the exten-
sions any residues of adhesive after the seal-
ing. Let the adhesive harden fully before you
mount the extensions again.
Extensions must only be sawn off
within the marked area ("End of cut-
ting area").
Do not saw off extensions without a
printed scale ("End of clamping
area"). Risk of an accident!
Shortening the extensions requires
a certain amount of experience and
should, therefore, be left to a skilled me-
chanic. If in doubt, ask an expert to adjust
your Canyon Speedmax CF SLX. However,
if you want to do this adjustment on your
own, restrict yourself to work for which
you have the necessary expert knowledge
and the suitable tools.
ADJUSTING THE TRAIL
OF THE FORK
Due to the innovative Rake Shift inserts in
the forks the trail and hence also the riding
behaviour can be modified to suit the wishes
of the rider.
Open the bolt of the Rake Shift with a TX 10
L-wrench (Torx). Now you can remove the
Rake Shift insert.
Ensure that the Rake Shift inserts are aligned
at both ends of the drop-outs so that the drop-
out safety tabs (projections) point outwards.

ADJUSTING THE TRAIL OF THE FORK

All in all, you can choose between three po-
sitions by replacing and turning around the
asymmetric rake shift inserts from left to
right.
The middle position is obtained by mounting
the symmetrical inserts.
The trail is thus changed by 2.5 mm in each
case. A long trail (= axle position further
back) makes for somewhat steadier running,
a short trail (= axle position further forward)
makes for a somewhat more agile geometry.
Then insert the bolts and do them up to a
torque of 0.9 Nm.
The symmetrical inserts can be obtained from
Canyon as accessories. Contact our service
