48 THE BRAKE SYSTEM
This is how the triangle must be adjusted.
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 inside 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 for this purpose the rear wheel.
Completely unscrew the small Allen bolt at
the brake pad holder. Remove the worn brake
pad from the brake pad holder. Pay attention
to the correct orientation.
Insert the new original brake pad matching
the rim into the brake pad holder. Tighten the
Allen bolt to a torque value of 2 Nm.
Check the adjustment of the brakes as de-
scribed above.
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!
THE BRAKE SYSTEM 49
Mount the new brake pad together with the
holder as well as the spacers and the bolt in
the same order and orientation as removed
previously.
Re-mount the rear wheel.
Make sure that the brake pads are oriented
correctly to the braking surface of the rim. For
more information read the chapter "Checking
and readjusting road bike brakes" in your bicy-
cle manual road bike.
Always tighten the clamp bolts of the brake
pads to the indicated torque value of 5 to
7 Nm.
