16 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
After you have mounted the rear wheel and
closed the thru axle, pull the brake lever. Release
the brake lever. Lift the bicycle off the ground and
spin the rear wheel subsequently by turning the
crank a few turns by hand. This allows the chain
to position properly on a sprocket of the cassette.
Make sure the rotor does not drag along the brake
calliper and the brake pads.
Front wheel mounting
Remove the transport locks, if available, from the
disc brake. Put the front wheel into the fork and
insert the rotor at the same time into the brake
calliper. Align the front wheel between the drop‑
outs and slide the thru axle from the left side
through the drop‑out and the hub. Turn the thru
axle by hand a few turns clockwise.
You find more details in the chapter
"The wheels" in your bicycle manual
road bike.
When the axle thread engages with the thread
of the right fork blade, continue turning the thru
axle clockwise. During the first turns the thru axle
should be able to turn easily. Tighten the axle by
using a Canyon torque wrench to a torque wrench
of 15 Nm.
After you have mounted the front wheel and
closed the thru axle, pull the brake lever. Release
the brake lever. Lift the bicycle off the ground and
spin the front wheel subsequently with your hand.
The rotor should not drag along the brake calliper
or the brake pads.
After having mounted the wheels, do a
brake test in standing. The brake levers
must have a pressure point; make sure you
cannot pull the lever all the way to the handle‑
bar.
MOUNTING THE PEDALS
Before mounting the pedals, check the marking
on the pedal axles first. "R" stands for right pedal
and "L" for left pedal. Note that the left pedal has
a left‑handed thread that has to be tightened con‑
trary to the direction you are accustomed to, i.e.
anticlockwise.
Apply a little grease on the pedal threads before
screwing in the pedals.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Screw each pedal manually into the thread of its
crank by two to three full turns. Continue by using
a pedal spanner to tighten the pedals firmly.
Some pedal types have to be tightened with an
Allen key.
Check the reliable fit of the pedals once
again after 100 km (60 miles). The ped‑
als can come loose, destroy the thread which
could result in a fall. Also check the reliable fit
of the other bolts according to the prescribed
torque values.
