Lock Headset - Canyon road bike Manual

86 HEADSET
I-LOCk HEADSET
The special feature of this system is that the stem
is clamped onto the fork tube, which in this case is
threadless. The stem is an important part of the head-
set bearings. Its clamping force secures the bearing
in its set position. Unlike the widely spread Ahead-
set ® system, this system allows a bearing adjustment
with a firmly clamped stem.
Check the clamping bolts on the side and in the rear
of the stem with a torque wrench according to the
torque marked on them. Never exceed the given
maximum torque.
Use a 2 mm Allen key and tighten the headless
screw at the head cup carefully clockwise by a
quarter turn to begin with.
Check the headset for play, as above described. Be
sure not to tighten the bearing too much.
If necessary, tighten the screw by another quarter
rotation and check again.
Make a final check by standing in front of your Canyon
and taking the front wheel between your knees.
Use a torque wrench to check the stem clamping bolts on the side
according to the marked torques
Adjust the bearing play with the adjusting bolt on the side
Check the headset again for play

!
firm, but only intended for a careful adjust-
ment of the play!
Take hold of the handlebars at the brake levers
and try to turn them relative to the front wheel. Try
twisting the handlebars relative to the front wheel.
If there is play in handlebars or stem, release the
bolts, realign the component and tighten the stem
clamping bolts to the recommended torques.
If there is still play in handlebars or stem even with
the maximum permitted torque, please dismount
the clamping, degrease it, apply a new layer of car-
bon assembly paste and reassemble.
