50 THE BRAKE SYSTEM
Check the adjustment of the brakes as de-
scribed above.
Re-mount the brake cover. Tighten the clamp
bolts to the indicated torque value of 3 Nm.
Make sure that the clamp bolts are provided
with thread lock ("Loctite", medium strength).
Brake pads which do not match the
wheel or which are adjusted incor-
rectly may render the brake ineffective.
Risk of an accident!

NOTES ON REPLACING THE WHEELS

If you want to mount wheels of different rim
widths, you have to check the correct adjust-
ment of the brake system.
If you change from aluminium to carbon or
vice versa, you must also change the pads
and use the original brake pads. Adjust the
brake as described above.
If you are in doubt, contact our service hotline
at +44 208 549 6001.

THE HEADSET

If your Speedmax CF SLX makes knocking
noises when you are riding or braking, you
should check the headset. Perform the check
of the headset which is invisible from outside
as described in the chapter "The headset" in
your bicycle manual road bike.
If you can feel any play in the bearings, un-
screw the clamp bolt of the stem faceplate
and remove the faceplate.

In the case of the integrated headset of the
Canyon Speedmax CF SLX the bearing play
is adjusted by means of three threaded pins
(1-3) at the pressure plate in the stem.
Tighten the three threaded pins carefully in
clockwise direction by using a 2-mm-Allen
key. Start with half a turn on each pin and
make sure that all three threaded pins are
tightened evenly.
Do not tighten these adjusting bolts,
they are intended to be used for a
fine adjustment of the play!
