ASSEMBLY fROM THE
BIKEGUARD
Assembling the bike from the BikeGuard is no witch-
craft, but you should proceed with care and delib-
eration. Unprofessional assembly can render the bike
unsafe.
first we should like to make you familiar with the vari-
ous components of your Canyon.
Unfold the front cover of this manual. Here you will
find the illustration of a Canyon road bike showing all
the essential components. Leave the page unfolded
as you read so that you can easily locate the compo-
nents as they are referred to in the text.
The illustration shows an arbitrary Canyon road bike
– this is not what every bike will look like. first, open
the BikeGuard. This is best done by using a box cut-
ter.
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!
The easiest and safest way to assem-
i
ble the bike is when you use a workstand
or ask someone to help you.
CHECk THE CONTENTS OF THE BIkEGUARD
The BikeGuard contains the assembled frame with
all add-on parts as well as the wheels that are some-
times packed in wheel bags, the saddle and a box with
small parts, e.g. quick-releases, reflectors and ped-
als, as the case may be.
UNPACkING
Remove the padding (cardboard boxes), if available,
and take the wheels that are sometimes packed in
wheel bags out of the BikeGuard.
Keep the entire packaging material as well
i
as the BikeGuard in a dry place. If you in-
tend to dispatch your Canyon or to take it with you
on a trip, you will have everything at hand.
You will not find the wheels packed in
i
wheel bags in every BikeGuard.
Undo the saddle from the BikeGuard. Remove first
the protective film, if available, from the seat post.
Lift the frame carefully off the BikeGuard and take out
the cardboard box with the small parts that you will
find on the bottom or side of the BikeGuard.
Hold the handlebars tight while lifting the
!
frame out to avoid that it drops and gets
damaged.
