Rear Brake - Canyon road bike Manual

16 ASSEMBLY fROM THE BIKEGUARD
REAR WHEEL MOUNTING
Open the quick-release at the rear axle, remove the
board and pull the quick-release out of the board.
Proceed as you did with 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 the
quick-release".
Remove the protective film from both chainstays as
well as the tape at the drop-out, if available.
It is recommended that you remove the protective
material in general by hand. In case you do not suc-
ceed, carefully use a box cutter or a pair of scissors.
When using a box cutter make sure neither
to damage the component nor yourself.
Make it a rule to cut away from you and the com-
ponent!
Open the rear brake by releasing the release lever at
the brake (Shimano, SRAM) or by displacing the pin
at the shift/brake lever (Campagnolo) to allow the le-
ver to tilt back a little.
Actuate the right shift lever as often as the rear de-
railleur is in its outermost position. Pull the rear de-
railleur slightly to the rear, position the chain on the
outermost sprocket and mount the rear wheel. Verify
that the wheel is accurately centred between the
drop-outs.
for more information about road bike
i
brakes, read chapter "The brake system".
Close the quick-release and verify that the wheel is
securely fixed. Read chapter "How to use the quick-
release" beforehand.
Re-close the release lever of the brake (Shimano,
SRAM) immediately or move the bolt at the shift/
brake lever back to its original position (Campag-
nolo).
Check whether the brake pads hit the
braking surfaces of the rims with their en-
tire surface.
ASSEMBLY fROM THE BIKEGUARD
Check whether both wheels are properly seated in
the drop-outs and whether they run accurately in
the centre between the fork arms and rear stays, re-
spectively. Spin both wheels to make sure they run
true. for more information, read chapter "The wheels
- tyres, inner tubes and air pressure".
Check the proper functioning of the gears. Shift
through all gears and make sure the rear derailleur
does not collide with the spokes when the chain runs
on the largest sprocket. Read up on how to adjust the
gears in chapter "The gears".
After the wheel mounting do a brake test
in stationary. Actuating the brake lever
should generate a clear-cut braking response be-
fore the lever touches the handlebars.
