What To Bear In Mind When Adding Components Or Making Changes - Canyon road bike Manual

22 QUICK-RELEASE
In its end position the lever should be parallel to the
bike, i.e. it should not stick out to the side. The le-
ver must lie close to the frame so that it cannot be
opened accidentally.
To check whether the lever is securely locked try to
turn it while it is closed.
If you can turn the lever around, the wheel is not se-
curely fastened. Open the lever again and screw the
tightening nut clockwise by half a turn to increase
the initial tension.
Close the lever again and check it again for tight-
ness. If the lever can no longer be turned, it is prop-
erly fastened.
finally lift the bike a few centimetres from the
ground so that the wheel is suspended and hit
the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the
wheel will remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the
frame.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release
mechanism, check whether the saddle is firmly fixed
by trying to twist it relative to the frame.
Make sure the levers of both quick-
releases are always on the left side of your
Canyon (i.e. opposite the chain drive). This will
help you to avoid mounting the front wheel the
wrong way round.
With insufficiently closed quick-releases
the wheels can come loose, thus creating a
serious risk of accident!
The quick-release lever must be nearly parallel to the wheel and not
stick out
Try twisting the saddle relative to the frame
As an anti-theft measure you can replace
i
the quick-releases by special locks. They
can only be opened and closed with a special,
coded key or an Allen key. If you are in doubt or if
you have any questions, please contact our serv-
ice hotline +44 (0) 20 8501 2582!
WHAT TO BEAR IN
MIND WHEN ADDING
COMPONENTS OR
MAKING CHANGES
Canyon bikes are sport machines which are fitted ac-
cording to the respective usage. Please note that the
mounting of mudguards or such like may impair the
functioning and hence the safety whilst riding. Before
buying and mounting any accessory, please check
whether this particular accessory part matches with
your Canyon.
With additional bells, horns or lighting accessories,
inform yourself thoroughly whether they are permit-
ted and tested and accordingly approved for use on
public roads. Battery/accumulator-operated lights
have to be marked with the wavy line and the letter
"K" (see chapter "Legal requirements").
If you want to mount a pannier rack or a child seat
or trailer, please read chapter "Intended use" be-
forehand to make sure it is permitted. If a mounting
is permitted, in general, please contact our service
hotline at +44 (0) 20 8501 2582 and ask for suitable
models.
Only perform jobs you are absolutely sure of.
Handlebars, stems and forks should only be replaced
by a skilled mechanic. Be sure to follow the operat-
ing of the accessory manufacturer in any case. When
mounting other components and accessories, it is
your responsibility to mount the components appro-
priately. Bring your Canyon to our service workshop,
if you have the slightest doubt.
ADD-ON PARTS AND CHANGES
Mudguards/wheel protections
Pannier rack
Retrofitted accessories, such as mud-
guards, carriers etc., can impair the func-
tioning of your Canyon. We therefore advise you
to use accessories from our product range. This
will ensure you use matching components.
Components that come loose or break off
as a result of improper mounting can
cause serious accidents. Safety relevant bolts
must be tightened to their specified torques.
In case of any questions regarding com-
i
ponent assembly, compatibility or if you
want to make any changes, read the more de-
tailed chapter of the manual further below or on
the enclosed CD or contact our service hotline at
