16 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Tighten up the counternut of the quick-release until
the quick-release lever builds up force when closed.
Close the quick-release. Read up on quick-releases
in chapter "How to use quick-releases and thru axles";
also observe the enclosed operating instructions of
the component manufacturers.
MOUNTING A FRONT WHEEL WITH DISC BRAkES
Remove the transport lock from the front wheel
brake. For more information about brakes, read chap-
ter "The brake system".
If your Canyon has disc brakes, check before mount-
ing the wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly in
their seats in the brake calliper body. This is the case
when the gap between the brake pads is parallel and
the wear indicators are in their correct position.
Mount the front wheel and make sure you guide the
rotor between the brake pads carefully. Close the
quick-release and verify that the wheel is securely
fixed. Read chapter "How to use quick-releases and
thru axles" beforehand.
Make sure the wheel is correctly seated in the drop-
outs and accurately centred between the fork legs.
Make sure the quick-release lever and the drop-out
safety-tabs are properly closed.
New brake pads of disc brakes have to
!
be bedded in before they reach their opti-
mum braking performance. For more information
read chapter "The brake system".
After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-
release pull the brake lever several times and spin the
wheel subsequently. The rotor should not drag on the
brake caliper or on the brake pads.
MOUNTING A REAR WHEEL WITH DISC BRAkES
Open the quick-release at the rear axle, remove
the board and pull the quick-release off the board.
Proceed as you did when mounting the front wheel.
Verify, in this case as well, the correct position of the
small springs. Read up on quick-releases in chapter
"How to use quick-releases and thru axles".
Remove the protective film from both chainstays. It is
recommended that you remove the protective materi-
al by hand. In case you do not succeed, carefully use
a box cutter or a pair of scissors.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Remove the transport lock from the rear wheel brake.
For more information about brakes, read chapter
"The brake system". If your Canyon has disc brakes,
check before mounting the wheel whether the brake
pads rest snugly in their seats in the brake calliper
body. This is the case when the gap between the
brake pads is parallel and the wear indicators are in
their correct position.
Actuate the right shift lever until the rear derailleur
is in its outermost position. Pull the rear derailleur
slightly to the rear, position the chain on the outer-
most sprocket and mount the rear wheel. Make sure
you guide the rotor between the brake pads carefully.
Read chapter "How to use quick-releases and thru ax-
les" beforehand.
