30 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
After mounting the wheel and tightening the
quick-release or the thru axle pull the brake lever
several times and spin the wheel subsequently.
The rotor must not drag heavily on the brake calli-
per and normally not on the brake pads. Spin both
wheels to make sure they run true.
New brake pads of disc brakes have to
be bedded in.
After mounting the wheel, do a brake test when
the pedelec is standing. Both brake lever must
have a pressure point; make sure you cannot pull
the lever all the way to the handlebar. Further in-
formation are given in chapter "The brake sys-
tem" in your detailed type-specific Canyon bicycle
manual on the enclosed CD.
Check the proper functioning of the gears. Ask
somebody to lift the pedelec by the saddle and
gently shift through all the gears.
Make sure that the rear derailleur does not collide
with the spokes when the chain runs on the larg-
est sprocket. Apply pressure on the rear derailleur
in order to exclude a collision and gently spin the
wheel.
Further information on adjusting the gears are
given in chapter "The gears" in your detailed
type-specific Canyon bicycle manual on the en-
closed CD.
Adjust the position of the saddle and the handle-
bar and check that the handlebar, grips and seat
post are securely fastened, as described in chap-
ter "Adjusting the Canyon bike to the rider" of your
detailed type-specific Canyon bicycle manual.
Your seat post must go into the frame as a mini-
mum to as far as underneath the top tube and up
to the MIN/MAX marking of the seat post.
Never ride your pedelec if the MIN/MAX
marking of the seat post is visible.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Inflate both tyres to the maximum pressure in-
dicated on the side of the tyres. More details on
tyres and inner tubes are given in chapter "The
wheels – tyres, inner tubes and air pressure" in
your detailed type-specific Canyon bicycle manual
on the enclosed CD.
Finish the assembly by carrying out thoroughly
the tests described in chapter "Before your first
ride".
After the assembly and the checking,
always do a test ride in an unfrequented
place or on a quiet road! Wrong assembly or
improper adjustments that become apparent
in road traffic or during off-road use can make
you lose control of your Canyon!
Check the reliable fit of all bolts once
again according to the prescribed torque
values after 100 to 300 km (60 to 180 miles).
For more information read chapters "General
notes on care and inspection", "Recommended
tightening torques" and "Service and mainte-
nance schedule" in your detailed type-specific
Canyon bicycle manual on the enclosed CD.
