Handlebars And Brake Lever Adjustment; Adjusting The Handlebar Position By Turning The Handlebar - Canyon road bike Manual

48 ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER fORE-TO-AfT POSITION AND SADDLE
SADDLE CLAMP AEROAD
Insert the seat post into the seat tube to the desired
saddle height. Tighten the two Allen bolts that point to
the rear to the indicated tightening torque of 5-7 Nm.
SEAT POST MONORAIL
The saddle system Monorail from Selle Italia has a
special seat post head for the saddle mounting. The
saddle is not fitted with two saddle rails, as usual,
but has a single carbon rail running underneath the
centre of the saddle cover. This makes for a larger
horizontal adjustment range of the saddle.
After releasing both bolts at the seat post head you
can move the saddle to the front and to the rear.
These two bolts also allow the adjustment of the sad-
dle tilt (e.g. lowering the front end of the saddle).
Tighten the bolts to a maximum torque of 8 Nm.
Tghten both bolts by using a torque wrench

HANDLEBARS AND BRAKE LEVERS
HANDLEBARS AND
BRAKE LEVER
ADJUSTMENT
With road bikes the straight bar ends should be paral-
lel to the ground or slant slightly downwards toward
the rear. The tips of the brake levers should coincide
with an imaginary straight line extending forward
from the straight extension below the drops. Shifting
the brake levers is a job best left to an expert, as it
involves retaping the handlebars afterwards.
ADjUSTING THE HANDLEBAR POSITION BY TURNING
THE HANDLEBAR
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the bottom or front side
of the stem.
Turn the handlebars to the desired position.
Make sure the handlebars are accurately centred in
the stem.
Retighten the bolt carefully by using a torque
wrench. Please observe the recommended tighten-
ing torques in chapter "General notes on care and
inspection".
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 clamping
bolt(s), if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER 49
The straight extension below the drops should be parallel to the
ground or slant slightly downwards towards the rear
Retighten the bolts to the prescribed torque
The handlebar must withstand any strong jerk
Note that the bolted connections of the
stem, handlebars and brakes have to be
tightened to the specified torques. You will find
the prescribed values in chapter "General notes
on care and inspection" or in the enclosed manu-
als of the component manufacturers. If you disre-
gard the prescribed values, the components may
come loose or break. This can lead to a severe
crash.
