106 WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE
A NOTE ON WEAR
Some components of your bike are subject to wear
due to their function. The rate of wear depends on
care and maintenance as well as on the way you use
your bike (kilometres travelled, rides in the rain, dirt,
salt etc.). Bikes that are often left standing in the
open may also be subject to increased wear through
weathering.
These components require regular care and mainte-
nance. Nevertheless, sooner or later they will reach
the end of their service life, depending on conditions
and intensity of use.
Parts that have reached their limit of wear must be
replaced. This applies to the following parts:
chain,
cables,
grip coverings or bar tape,
chainrings,
sprockets,
pulleys,
gears cables,
tyres,
saddle covering (leather) and
brake pads.
The brake pads of disc brakes are subject to wear
due to their function. If you use your bike for com-
petitive cycling or in hilly terrain, they may have to be
replaced quite frequently. Regularly check the condi-
tion of the pads and have them replaced by a dealer.
BEARINGS AND REAR SHOCkS OF FULL-SUSPENSION
FRAMES
Rear shocks and full-suspension frames are to some
extent subject to wear due to their function. This ap-
plies in particular to the seals of the rear shock and
the bearings of the rear frame. Overtightened rear
shock fastening bolts subject the frame to extreme
stress and can lead to consequential damage. There-
fore, observe the assembly instructions and use a
torque wrench.
Brake pads with a width of less than a millimetre must be replaced
with original spare parts
Bearings are subject to wear
GUARANTEE
Over and above the statutory warranty we give a vol-
untary guarantee of altogether 6 years on mountain
bike frames (except for bearings and rear shocks).
This guarantee runs from the date of purchase and
only applies to claims made by the initial buyer. It
does not cover paint damage. We reserve ourselves
the right to repair defective frames or forks or to re-
place them with the relevant successor model. These
issues can be claimed under guarantee only. Addi-
tional costs, such as assembly and transport costs
etc, shall not be borne by us.
The guarantee does not cover damage caused by
improper or other than the intended use, such as
neglect (poor care and maintenance), crashes, over-
loading or resulting from changes made to the frame
or fork or from the mounting or remounting of addi-
tional components. Damage resulting from jumps or
other types of overstress are likewise not covered by
the guarantee.
WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE 107
Six-year guarantee
Canyon mountain bikes are high-end
sports equipment, representing light-
weight construction as pinnacle of engineering.
Also be a professional when it comes to handling
of the material. Misuse, unprofessional assembly
or insufficient servicing can render the racing ma-
chine unsafe. Risk of an accident!
