For the assembly of your new pedelec you need
the following tools supplied in the box with small
parts ("Let's get started"):
Canyon torque wrench incl. bits (1)
X X
Full suspension pump (2)

Canyon assembly paste (3)

Do not clamp a frame tube or a carbon
seat post of your pedelec in the holding
jaws of the workstand! If you have a height-ad-
justable seat post, do not clamp the bike on a
movable part, but only on the bottom part
which is removed far enough! When inserting
or extending the height-adjustable seat post,
make sure to pull in or out the cable where it
comes out of the frame to prevent the cable
from breaking.
The easiest and safest way to assemble
the bike is by using a workstand or ask
someone to help you.
Share the pleasure that your new
pedelec brings and ask a helper to as-
sist you in unpacking it from the BikeGuard
and in assembling it.
USING THE CANYON TORQUE WRENCH
We from Canyon regard the use of a torque
wrench as essential to ensure that two parts can
be fixed together securely and safely.
Exceeding the maximum torque value at the
clamping bolts (e.g. at the stem, seat post or seat
post clamp) leads to an excessively high clamping
force. This can cause the component to fail and
hence there is a high associated risk of accidents.
In addition, the product guarantee would be null
and void in such a case. Screws or bolts that are
too loose or are done up too tightly can cause
a failure and hence lead to an accident. Always
observe strictly the torque values indicated by
Canyon.
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench.
Insert the Allen key fully into the screw head.
Slowly turn the handle of the Canyon torque
wrench. Once the bolt is getting tight, the pointer
moves over the scale. Stop the turning movement
as soon as the pointer reaches the number of the
prescribed torque value.
Assemble your Canyon by using the
Canyon torque wrench enclosed with
the BikeGuard.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
USING THE CANYON ASSEMBLY PASTE
In particular lightweight components made of
carbon or aluminium are susceptible to damage
caused by excessive clamping force. Canyon as-
sembly paste creates extra friction between two
surfaces, allowing the necessary torque value to
be reduced by up to 30 %.
This is especially useful in the clamping areas of
handlebars and stem, steerer tube and stem and
seat post and seat tube, i.e. three areas where
too much clamping force can damage either com-
ponent, causing component failure or voiding the
warranty.
By reducing the clamping force, Canyon assembly
paste prevents the possible destruction of carbon
fibres or of thin-walled components made of alu-
minium. or the cracking of the carbon substruc-
ture.
