Adjusting The Height Of The Handlebars - Canyon SPeedMax CF Instructions Manual

30 AdjUSTING ThE CANYON SPEEdMAx CF TO ThE RIdER
If the adjustment range is still not sufficient,
then fully undo all the Allen bolts. Remove the
saddle slide from the seat post, turn it round
by 180° and put it back in again.
Install the saddle, saddle clamping head and
saddle slide in the new positions.
Ensure when fitting the Allen bolts that the
nuts, spacers and bolts are put on in the right
order and tighten them up only so far that the
saddle clamping head can still be moved.
As a further option, the saddle clamping bolts
can optionally be tightened up in the front or
rear clamping slide holes at the saddle clamp-
ing head. When fixing the saddle, make sure
the saddle clamping head lies close around
the saddle rails and do up both Allen bolts to
the prescribed tightening torque of 4 Nm.
Now set the desired amount of tilt of the sad-
dle. Tighten the lower Allen bolts evenly so
the saddle remains at the desired angle. Use a
torque wrench. In the event your seat post is
not firmly clamped at 8 Nm, tighten it further
in small steps (0.5 Nm increments) up to a
maximum torque of 10 Nm. do not exceed the
maximum tightening torque!
AdjUSTING ThE CANYON SPEEdMAx CF TO ThE RIdER
Set the saddle so that it is horizontal or in-
clined slightly forward. If the saddle is in-
clined too far forward you cannot pedal with-
out stress. You will constantly have to lean
against the handlebars to prevent yourself
from slipping off the saddle.
After fastening the saddle, check whether it
resists tilting by bringing your weight to bear
on it once with your hands on the tip and once
at the rear end.
Use a torque wrench with bits and
never exceed the maximum tighten-
ing torque!
Never ride if the seat post has been
pulled out beyond the MAx marking
or if the saddle has been clamped outside
the clamping area! The seat post might
break or sustain damage. Risk of an acci-
dent!
Check the screwed and bolted con-
nections once a month with a torque
wrench in accordance with the values giv-
en in the chapter "Recommended tighten-
ing torques."

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS

The height of the handlebars determines the
inclination of the upper body. The deeper
the handlebars, the more inclined the upper
body. This means a more streamlined position
for the rider and more weight to bear on the
front wheel, but the extremely inclined posi-
tion proves less comfortable, as the strain
on wrists, arms, upper body and neck will in-
crease.
The Canyon Speedmax CF is offered in two
versions:
Time Trial: with a flat stem, low "drop" han-
dlebars and S-bend extensions (III)
Triathlon: with a higher stem, straight "flat"
handlebars and L-bend extensions (I)
The stem may only be replaced by
Canyon. Contact our service hotline
