In its end position the quick-release lever should
be tight so that it can no longer be turned. Make
sure the quick-release lever does not stand out to
the front or to the side. The best closing position
is in nearly upright position in front of the lower
leg.
After mounting the wheel and closing the quick-re-
lease lever pull the brake lever several times and
spin the wheel subsequently.
The rotor must not drag on the brake calliper and
normally not on the brake pads.
New brake pads of disc brakes need a
break-in period to achieve maximum
brake power. For more information read chap-
ter "The brake system" in your detailed
type-specific Canyon bicycle manual; also ob-
serve the manuals of the component manu-
facturer on the enclosed CD.
Fox E-Thru 15 mm
Put the front wheel into the fork and insert the ro-
tor at the same time into the brake calliper. Bring
the front wheel into the right position between
the drop-outs and slide the axle with open E-Thru
quick-release lever from the left side through the
drop-out and the hub.
As soon as the axle thread engages with the
thread of the right fork leg, close it by turning it
clockwise. During the first rotations you should be
able to turn the thru axle with little resistance.
Tighten the axle a little and then release it by
about a third of a turn.
Check the tight fit of whatever wheel
fastening system after a few kilometres
(miles) or hours of use, at the latest however
after 4 hours or 80 km (50 miles). A loose
wheel fastening can result in a fall with un-
foreseeable consequences for life and limb.
Close the E-Thru quick-release lever like a usual
quick-release lever.
From the start of the closing movement up to
about the first half of its travel the lever should
move very easily without clamping the wheel,
whereas over the second half of its travel the
force needed to move it should increase consider-
ably. Towards the end of its travel the lever should
be very hard to move.
If you do not succeed in closing the lever fully, re-
open it and turn the axle a little anticlockwise. Try
again to close the quick-release lever.
Use the palm of your hand while your fingers pull
on an immovable part, such as the fork leg, but
never on a spoke or the rotor.
In its end position the quick-release lever should
be tight so that it can no longer be turned. Make
sure the quick-release lever does not stand out to
the front or to the side. The best closing position is
in nearly upright position in front of the lower leg.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT POST
Your pedelec is supplied with the height-adjust-
able seat post mounted. All you need to do is to
adjust the saddle height and to possibly re-adjust
the saddle tillt.
Measure the saddle height of your previous bicy-
cle/pedelec from the middle of the bottom bracket
up to the top edge of the saddle in the middle of
the saddle. Then transfer the saddle height to your
new pedelec.
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench. Loosen the clamping bolt at the
front of the seat tube. Insert the seat post into the
seat tube to the desired saddle height.
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.
