GEAR SYSTEM ENVIOLO AUTOMATIQ
Close the plug connection on the hub interface.
Check the firm seat of the mounted
wheel. After mounting the wheel, do a
brake test as the bike is standing, as described
in the chapter "Before every ride"!
CALIBRATING ENVIOLO AUTOMATiQ
After you have mounted the rear wheel, your sys-
tem may need to be recalibrated.
Switch on the drive system of your Canyon pedelec,
and thus the enviolo system with it. Switch only
the drive system's assistance level to 'OFF'.
Initiate the calibration process via the drive sys-
tem menu. For more information see the sys-
tem instructions of the drive manufacturer at
www.canyon.com
It is important that you turn the crank arms slight-
ly during the calibration process while the system
switches multiple times from the smallest to the
largest gear ratio.
It is best to use a workstand designed
expressly for e-bikes/pedelecs or to ask
a helper to lift up the Canyon pedelec from the
saddle while you rotate the crank arms slightly.
CHECKING THE BELT TENSION
The optimum operation of the Gates belt drive re-
quires the proper tension of the belt. An unusual
low tension can make the belt skip and thus affect
the performance. Too high a tension of the belt
will render the drive sluggish and unnecessarily
increase the wear of the belt and the bearings.
Adjusting the tension requires specialist equip-
ment and experience and is therefore a job for
professionals.
However, if you want to try it yourself: The ten-
sion can be adjusted easily with the Gates Carbon
Drive™ mobile app or the tension gauge (Gates
Krikit gauge).
For more information read the chapter
"Belt drive" in your Canyon bicycle man-
ual Urban Bike.
If the belt tension is too high or too low,
this could result in damage to the rear
triangle and to the hub, increase wear and re-
sult in the belt jumping off the belt wheel.

SLIDING DROPOUTS – ADJUSTING THE TENSION
Some models have frame designs with sliding
dropouts.
With these models, you need to undo the screws
on the sliding dropouts to tension the belt or chain.
There are a total of two fastening screws per side
or dropout, located on the underside of the frame
or chainstay.
Undo all four screws (two on each side) anticlock-
wise by one to two turns using a 5 mm Allen key.
Take care not to undo the screws by too much
since they keep important components of the
mechanism in place.
The belt tension is adjusted by turning the adjust-
ing screws, which are accessed from the rear, with
a 4 mm Allen key:
turning anticlockwise will reduce tension
X
turning clockwise will increase tension
X
Tensioning a belt is a wholly different
process than adjusting the tension of a
see
chain. Therefore, read the chapter "Belt drive"
in your Canyon bicycle manual Urban Bike and,
for belts, the instructions by Gates at
www.canyon.com
GEAR SYSTEM ENVIOLO AUTOMATIQ
When changing the belt tension, ensure that both
adjusting screws are undone or tightened evenly.
The rear wheel must stay aligned with the frame
and must not move laterally. The wheel must be
equidistant from the frame on both sides. Ensure
that the wheel runs centrally between the rear
frame stays.
Once you have adjusted the belt tension, tighten
the four fastening screws on the underside of the
chainstay (two on each side) to 8 Nm by tighten-
ing in increments while alternating between the
screws (see printed mark).
Now check that the belt runs clean and silently
across the belt wheel. If this is not the case, the
rear wheel is likely not seated centrally between
the rear frame stays.
Once the adjustment process is com-
plete, perform a test ride away from road
traffic or on an empty lot.
