50 ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND SADDLE
Clamping with two bolts in line
Release both bolts by two to three turns at the most,
otherwise the whole assembly can come apart. Move
the saddle forth or back to adjust the horizontal posi-
tion. Tighten both bolts evenly so the saddle remains
at the same angle.
If you wish to lower a little the nose of the saddle, turn
the front bolt. It might be that you have to loosen the
rear bolt a little. To lower the rear part of the saddle,
the rear bolt has to be turned. Having found your pre-
ferred position make sure both clamps are correctly
aligned with the saddle rails before tightening the
bolts to the correct torque setting as prescribed by
the seat post manufacturer.
Please observe the recommended tightening torques
in chapter "General notes on care and inspection".
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.
Stems come in very different lengths
and shaft and binder tube diameters. A
stem of inappropriate dimensions can become a
serious source of danger: Handlebars and stem
may break, causing an accident in the process.
Bring the saddle rail in a position that the
seat post clamping is within the marked
area. If there is no marking, the clamping must
be effected on the straight portion of the rail and
on no account on the front or rear bend – risk of
rupture!
Release both bolts by two to three turns at the most
Retighten the bolts evenly and alternately to the prescribed torque
Be sure the saddle rail is clamped within the marked area
When replacing the saddle, bear in mind
that seat posts are normally designed for a
saddle rail diameter of seven millimetres. Saddle
rails of other dimensions may result in seat post
failure, possibly throwing the rider off his bike.
HANDLEBARS AND BRAKE LEVERS
HANDLEBARS AND

BRAKE LEVER

ADJUSTMENT
Bar ends on mountain bikes are usually fitted slightly
angled. Adjust the handlebars so that you can rest
your hands on it with your wrists relaxed and not
turned outward too far.
ADjUSTING THE HANDLEBAR POSITION BY TURNING
THE HANDLEBAR
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the front side of the
stem.
Turn the handlebars to the desired position.
Make sure the handlebars are accurately centred in
the stem.
Retighten the bolts carefully by using a torque
wrench. Observe the prescribed tightening torque
(see chapter "General notes on care and inspec-
tion"). After adjusting the handlebars you have to
readjust the brake and shift levers, as well.
Release the Allen bolt at either grip binder.
Turn the brake and shift lever on the handlebars. Sit
on the saddle and place your fingers on the brake
levers. Check whether the back of your hand forms
a straight line with your lower arm.
Retighten the levers.
Check the firm seat of the handlebar by standing
in front of your Canyon and seizing the handlebars
at both brake levers. The handlebars must be tight
and withstand any jerk. Gently retighten the clamp-
ing bolt(s), if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the front side of the stem
Retighten the bolts to the prescribed torque
With your fingers on the brake levers the back of your hands should
form a straight line with your forearms
Tighten the brake and shift levers to the prescribed torques
