AdjUSTING ThE TRAIL OF ThE FORK

AdjUSTING ThE TRAIL
OF ThE FORK
due to the innovative Rake Shift inserts in
the forks the trail and hence also the riding
behaviour can be modified to suit the wishes
of the rider.
Open the bolt of the Rake Shift with a Tx 10 L-
wrench (Torx). Now you can remove the Rake
Shift insert.
Ensure that the Rake Shift is aligned
at both ends of the drop-outs so
that the drop-out safety tabs (projections)
point outwards.
In total, three positions are available to
choose from (front and rear) by replacing
and turning around the asymmetric drop-outs
from left to right.
The middle position is obtained by installing
the symmetrical inserts.
The trail is thus changed by 2.5 mm in each
case. A long trail (= axle position further
back) makes for somewhat steadier running,
a short trail (= axle position further forward)
makes for a somewhat more agile geometry.
Then insert the bolts and do them up to a
torque of 0.9 Nm.
The symmetrical inserts can be ob-
i
tained from Canyon as accessories.

ThE BRAKE SYSTEM
Canyon has developed for the Speedmax CF a
special aero braking system that is integrated
into the fork and the frame. Its special design
requires that you carefully note the following
information regarding operation, adjustment
and checking.
Note that different bolts and spac-
ers are required at the brake pads
for the various rim widths. The brake could
be inoperative without the correct compo-
nents. Risk of an accident.
Always use the original brake pad
holders. The brake may be inopera-
tive with holders or pads from other manu-
facturers. Risk of an accident!
ThE BRAKE SYSTEM
CHECKING AND READJUSTING THE
INTEGRATED AERO BRAKES
due to its special construction, the Speedmax
brake has two systems to adjust. One for the
cable length and another to take up wear in
the brake pads.
Check as a minimum after riding every 500
kilometres and after a long ride in the rain the
adjustment of the front and rear brakes with
the aid of the supplied Canyon Brake Adjust-
er. This must fit without fail the wheels that
are mounted – see the marking.
Before you use any wheels other than the
ones supplied as standard, please contact
our service hotline at +44 (0) 208 5496001.
do not use any rims whose width
does not match the Canyon Brake
Adjusters. Risk of an accident!
