Seat Post Clamp - Canyon road bike Manual

12 ASSEMBLY fROM THE BIKEGUARD
MOUNTING THE SADDLE
Release the seat post binder bolt at the seat tube.
Read chapter "Adjusting the Canyon road bike to the
rider" beforehand. Before mounting the seat post on
the frame make sure the seat tube is absolutely free
of sharp edges and burrs.
Clean and deburr the seat tube, if necessary. You
should be able to insert the seat post easily into the
frame without pressing or turning. Apply a thin layer
of Canyon assembly paste into the seat tube and on
the seat post.
Be sure to read the notes given in chap-
!
ter "Adjusting the saddle to the correct
height" as well as the permitted torques in chap-
ter "General notes on care and inspection" and fol-
low the operating instructions of the component
manufacturers, as well.
Slide the seat post into the seat tube to the desired
saddle height. Bring the saddle into alignment and do
not overtighten the seat post binder bolt.
SPECIAL CASE CANYON SPEEDMAx
Some Canyon models (e.g. Speedmax Cf and Speed-
max AL) have an oval shaped seat post. Mounting an-
other than the standard seat post is therefore impos-
sible. Release both Allen bolts at the seat post clamp.
Do not clamp a frame tube or a carbon
!
seat post of your Canyon in the holding
jaws of the workstand! This could crush the tubes!
It is recommended that you use a workstand
which holds the frame at three points from inside
or which holds the fork and bottom bracket shell
Apply a little Canyon assembly paste on the bottom
part of the seat post and inside the seat tube.
Slide the seat post in the seat tube to the desired sad-
dle height and tighten both Allen bolts at the seat post
clamp with a torque wrench.
Never exceed the maximum tightening
!
torques! You will find the prescribed values
in chapter "Recommended tightening torques", di-
rectly on the components and/or in the manuals
of the component manufacturers.

HANDLEBAR MOUNTING
Release the clamping bolts of the stem face plate and
remove the face plate.
Remove the protective film and sleeves from the shift
levers on the handlebars. Hold the handlebars tight
while you do this so that they do not drop and get
damaged.
It is recommended that you remove the protective
material in general by hand. In case you do not suc-
ceed, carefully use a box cutter or a pair of scissors.
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!
