Let your Canyon then rest for a few minutes so that the lubricant can disperse. Finally rub off excess lubricant with a rag so that it does not spatter around or attract dirt during riding.
  • Page 69 GEARS CHAIN WEAR Although the chain is one of the wearing compo- nents of your Canyon, there are still ways of in- fluencing its service life. Make sure the chain is lubricated regularly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which allow a more or less straight run of the chain.
