44 THE BRAKE SYSTEM
This is how the triangle must be adjusted.
Re-mount the front wheel.
Once the position of the cable holder is cor-
rect, check whether the gap between the
brake pads and the rim sides is approx. 1 to
1.5 mm on each side.
If this is not the case, release the silver lock
nut on the outside of the brake arms a little.
This allows you to adjust the brake arms by
tightening or unscrewing the respective set
screw with a 2-mm-Allen key until there is a
gap of approx. 1 to 1.5 mm on both sides be-
tween brake pads and rim sides.
If the pads still cannot be adjusted correctly,
they are worn down and must be replaced by
new brake pads (from Canyon!).
Remove the front wheel again.
Completely unscrew the small Allen bolt at
the brake pad holder. Remove the worn brake
pads from the brake pad holder.
Insert the new original brake pads matching
the rim into the brake pad holder. Pay atten-
tion to the correct orientation. Tighten the
Allen bolt to a torque value of 2 Nm.
Check the adjustment of the brakes as de-
scribed above.
THE BRAKE SYSTEM
If you want to change the brake pads includ-
ing brake pad holders, hold pad and holder
tight and unscrew the bolt. Disassemble them
completely and pay attention to their orienta-
tion.
The brake system must be fitted with the sup-
plied original brake pads only or, if another
wheel type was mounted, with brake pads
matching this wheel type. Otherwise there is
a risk of brake failure!
Always use the original Canyon
brake pad holders.
