30 AfTER AN ACCIDENT
4. Make sure the saddle is not twisted using the top
tube or the bottom bracket shell as a reference.
5. Lift your bike up a few centimetres and let it
bounce onto the ground. If this causes any sort of
noise, search for loosened bolts.
6. finally, take a good look at the whole bike to detect
any deformation, discolouration or cracks.
Only ride back very carefully by taking the shortest
possible way, if your bike went through this check
without any doubt. Do not accelerate or brake hard
and do not ride your bike out of the saddle.
If you are in doubt about the performance of your
bike, have yourself picked up by car, instead of risk-
ing anything. Back home the bike must be examined
thoroughly. Please read the more detailed chapters of
the manual further below or on the enclosed CD or
contact our service hotline at +44 (0) 20 8501 2582.
Carbon components which have suffered
from an impact force as well as bent parts
made of aluminium may brake without previous
warning. They must not be repaired, i.e. straight-
ened, as the risk of breakage would still remain
imminent. This applies in particular to forks, han-
dlebars, stems, crank sets, seat posts and pedals.
If in doubt, it is always the better choice to have
these parts replaced, as your safety comes first.
Make sure the saddle is not twisted using the top tube as a reference
Check carbon components with particular attention and replace the
parts for your safety, if you have the slightest doubt

ASSEMBLY TECHNICAL
DATA
Canyon offers the high-quality carbon and aluminium
frames as bare frames for individual fitting with com-
ponents.
The person completing and mounting the add-on
parts must therefore ensure that all components are
compatible and properly mounted. There is a vast va-
riety of available add-on parts, making it impossible
for Canyon to cover every conceivable option in this
manual. Canyon cannot be held responsible for any
component combination possible.
We strongly advise you to carefully read the compo-
nent manufacturers' operating instructions, as well.
failures in selecting bike components can, in princi-
ple, result in your Canyon being unsafe. We therefore
advise you to have your bike assembled by a skilled
mechanic or by our service centre. for your own
safety, never do any work unless you feel absolutely
sure about it.

T hese instructions may require further

explanations, depending on the experi-
ence and/or skills of the person doing the work,
and some jobs may require additional (special)
tools, such as special dismantling tools or addi-
tional instructions.
Do not clamp the frame into an assembly

stand by its tubes! This could cause dam-
age to the thin-walled tubes. first mount a sturdy
aluminium seat post and use this to clamp the
frame, or use an assembly stand which holds the
frame at three points from inside or which holds
the fork and bottom bracket shell.
