10 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
It also retains its effectiveness in wet con-
ditions and provides maximum protection
against corrosion. Canyon assembly paste
can be used for all carbon and aluminium
connections. It's ideal for this purpose, as it
does not harden.
Prior to applying Canyon assembly paste,
remove dirt particles and lubricant residues
from the surfaces to be treated. Apply a thin
and even film of Canyon assembly paste to the
cleaned surfaces using a brush or a chamois.
Mount the components, as specified. Use the
Canyon torque wrench and never exceed the
prescribed maximum torque value. Remove
excessive Canyon assembly paste and re-seal
the small sachet after use.
Wheel bags are not included with
i
every Speedmax CF SLX.
UNPACKING
Remove the padding (cardboard boxes), if
available, and unpack the front wheel, packed
in a wheel bag or not, as well as the box with
the small parts and the Toolcase from the
BikeGuard.
Lift the frame carefully out of the BikeGuard.
Hold the handlebar tight while lifting the
frame out to avoid that it drops and gets dam-
aged.
Keep the entire packaging material
as well as the BikeGuard in a dry
place. If you intend to ship your Canyon or
to take it with you on a trip, you will have
everything at hand.
Be careful when placing the frame on the
ground.
MOUNTING THE SADDLE AND THE SEAT
POST
Hold the saddle and the seat post tight and
loosen the strap with Velcro fastener fixing
the seat post to the top and down tube.
Before mounting the seat post on the frame,
make sure that the seat tube is absolutely
free of sharp edges and burrs. If necessary,
open the Allen bolt at the seat post clamp on
the upper side of the top tube by two or three
turns.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Remove the clamping mechanism and pay
attention to the order and orientation of the
small parts.
You should be able to insert the seat post
easily into the frame without pressing. If you
cannot, loosen the clamp a little more.
The Canyon Speedmax CF SLX has
a seat post with a specific aero pro-
file. In the case of the carbon seat post TRI
the pointed end at the top of the seat post
should always be oriented towards the
front. Another option is the carbon seat
post TT which has a reversed orientation.
Mounting another seat post than these
two is therefore impossible.
