8 ASSEMBLY FROM ThE BIKEGUARd
ASSEMBLY OF THE SPEEDMAX CF
Your Canyon Speedmax CF had been fully as-
sembled at the factory and given a test run.
The bicycle should be fully functional without
any further adjustments being made once the
assembly steps explained below have been
completed.
The following section gives you a concise de-
scription of the assembly. In the event that
you are neither skilled nor experienced in that
kind of work, please read the more detailed
chapters in your bicycle manual road bike or
read up on this matter on the enclosed Cd.
Before your first ride, carry out the checks
described in the chapter "Before every ride".
do not clamp a frame tube or a car-
bon seat post of your Canyon in the
holding jaws of the workstand! It is best to
use a workstand that holds the frame from
inside at three points or else ask someone
to help while you assemble your bike.
USING A TORQUE WRENCH
We regard the use of a torque wrench as es-
sential so as to ensure the two parts can be
fixed together securely and safely.
Exceeding the maximum torque at the clamp-
ing bolts (e.g. at the stem, steerer tube or
handlebars) leads to an excessively high
clamping force. This can cause the compo-
nent to fail and hence there is a high associ-
ated risk of accidents. In addition, the prod-
uct guarantee would be null and void in such
a case.
Screws or bolts that are too loose or are done
up too tightly can cause a failure and hence
lead to an accident. Always follow exactly the
tightening torque details from Canyon.
Put the matching bit into the holder.
Insert the Allen key fully into the screw head.
Slowly turn the handle of the Canyon torque
wrench. Once the bolt is getting tight, the
pointer moves over the scale. Stop the turn-
ing movement as soon as the pointer reaches
the number for the specified torque.

MOUNTING THE SADDLE
Before mounting the seat post on the frame,
make sure that the seat tube is absolutely
free of sharp edges and burrs. If necessary,
open the Allen bolt at the seat post clamp on
the upper side of the top tube by two or three
turns.
Take out the clamping mechanism. Connect
the cable to the di2 rechargeable battery that
is mounted at the bottom end of the seat post.
You should be able to insert the seat post eas-
ily into the frame without pressing. If you can-
not, loosen the clamp a little more.
The Speedmax CF has a seat post
with a special aero profile. Mount-
ing anything than the standard seat post is
therefore impossible.
