40 AdjUSTING ThE CANYON SPEEdMAx CF TO ThE RIdER

SHORTENING L-BEND EXTENSIONS

Once you have found your final seating po-
sition, it may be necessary to shorten the L-
bend extensions.
Mark the place at which you wish to saw off
the L-bend extensions. Orient yourself to-
wards the printed scale. Never saw off more
than beyond the line "End of cutting area".
do not clamp in a vice the L-bend extensions
to be sawn off, as that could destroy them.
Clamp the L-bend extensions in a suitable de-
vice, for example, a special bracket.
Saw off the L-bend extensions with a metal
saw with a sharp fine-toothed blade (24t)
and with light pressure at the marking. Ensure
that you do not inhale or ingest the chips or
the dust.
do not blow away the chips and dust pro-
duced by sawing. Pick up the chips and dust
with a damp rag and dispose of the rag imme-
diately afterwards!
Carefully deburr the cut end with a fine-
toothed file. Run the file along the tube to-
wards the sawn end and not in the other
direction, otherwise there is a risk that the
fibrous material could fan out.
AdjUSTING ThE CANYON SPEEdMAx CF TO ThE RIdER
Seal the cut end with a two-component adhe-
sive (epoxy resin), clear varnish or superglue.
Immediately wipe off to the side of the L-bend
extensions any residues of adhesive after the
sealing. Let the adhesive harden fully before
you mount the L-bend extensions again.
L-bend extensions may only be
sawn off within the marked area
("End of cutting area").

do not saw off extensions without a
printed scale ("End of clamping
area"). Risk of an accident!
Shortening the L-bend extensions
requires a certain amount of experi-
ence and should, therefore, be left to a
skilled mechanic. If in doubt, ask an expert
to adjust your Canyon Speedmax CF. If you
still wish to do this yourself, restrict your-
self to jobs for which you are equipped and
have the necessary knowledge.
