2 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 3 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD Assemblng the bke from the BkeGuard s no wtchcraft, but you should proceed wth care and delberaton. Unprofessonal assembly can render the bke unsafe. Frst we should lke to make you famlar wth the varous components of your Canyon. Unfold the front cover of your bcycle manual Mountan bke. Here you wll fnd the llustraton of a Canyon bke showng all the essental components. Keep ths page folded out whle you are readng. Ths means that you can quckly fnd n the text the component that s beng referred to. The llustraton shows an arbtrary Canyon mountan bke ths s not what every bke wll look lke. Frst, open the BkeGuard. To do ths, only use a box cutter or a smlar knfe wth a very short blade. Never use any knd of knfe on the bcycle tself. CHECK THE CONTTS OF THE BIKEGUARD The BkeGuard contans the assembled frameset wth the rear wheel mounted and all add-on parts as well as the front wheel that s sometmes packed n a wheel bag, the saddle wth seat post, whch may be connected wth a cable to a control unt to be mounted on the handlebars. In addton, the BkeGuards contans a box wth small parts (e.g. quck-release or thru axle, reflectors, possbly pedals) and the Toolcase wth Canyon Torque Wrench ncl. bts, full suspenson pump, Canyon assembly paste and the bcycle manual mountan bke wth enclosed CD. If you have a bke wth 29 and 27.5 nch tyres, the box wth small parts and the Toolcase may be stowed n uprght poston at one end of the BkeGuard. Do not work on your Canyon wth a box cutter. You may damage the component or hurt yourself. Be sure to use scssors where needed. GERAL INFORMATION ON MOUNTAIN BIKE ASSEMBLY Your Canyon had been fully assembled at the factory and gven a test run. The bcycle s fully functonal wthout any further adjustments beng made once the assembly steps explaned below have been completed. After carryng out assembly work, always do a test rde n an unfrequented place or on a quet road. The followng secton gves you a concse descrpton of the assembly. In the event that you are nether sklled nor experenced n that knd of work, please read the more detaled chapters n your bcycle manual Mountan bke; also observe the nstructons of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD. Before your frst rde, carry out the checks descrbed n chapter Before every rde. It s best to use a workstand that holds the frame from nsde at three ponts or else ask someone to help whle you assemble your bke. Do not clamp a frame tube or a carbon seat post of your Canyon n the holdng jaws of the workstand! Use a sutable alumnum seat post for clampng nstead. If you have a heght-adjustable seat post, do not clamp the bke on a movable part, but only on the bottom part whch s removed far enough. When nsertng or pullng out the heght-adjustable seat post, make sure to pull n or out the cable where t comes out of the frame to prevent any breakng of the cable. The easest and safest way to assemble the bke s when you use a workstand or ask someone to help you. Share the pleasure that your new Canyon brngs and ask a helper to assst you n unpackng t from the Bke- Guard and n assemblng t.
4 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 5 USING THE CANYON TORQUE WRCH USING THE CANYON ASSEMBLY PASTE We regard the use of a torque wrench as essental so as to ensure the two parts can be fxed together securely and safely. Put the matchng bt nto the holder of the Canyon Torque Wrench. Insert the Allen key fully nto the screw head. Carbon fbre components are partcularly vulnerable to damage caused by excessve clampng force. Canyon assembly paste creates extra frcton between two surfaces, allowng the necessary torque value to be reduced by up to 30 %. It also retans ts effectveness n wet condtons and provdes maxmum protecton aganst corroson. Canyon assembly paste can be used for all carbon and alumnum connectons. It s deal for ths purpose, as t does not harden. Exceedng the maxmum torque at the clampng bolts (e.g. at the stem, seat post or seat post clamp) leads to an excessvely hgh clampng force. Ths can cause the component to fal and hence there s a hgh assocated rsk of accdents. In addton, the product guarantee would be null and vod n such a case. Screws or bolts that are too loose or are done up too tghtly can cause a falure and hence lead to an accdent. Always follow exactly the tghtenng torque detals from Canyon. Slowly turn the handle of the Canyon Torque Wrench. Once the bolt s gettng tght, the ponter moves over the scale. Stop the turnng movement as soon as the ponter reaches the number for the specfed torque. Assemble your Canyon usng the Canyon Torque Wrench enclosed wth the BkeGuard. Ths s especally useful n the clampng areas of handlebars and stem, steerer tube and stem and seat post and seat tube,.e. three areas where too much clampng force can damage ether component, causng component falure or vodng the warranty. By reducng the clampng force, Canyon assembly paste releves stress on senstve carbon surfaces, preventng damage to fbres or the crackng of the carbon substructure. Make t a rule to use assembly paste on seat posts of mountan bkes to acheve a frm seat of the seat posts. Lowerng the seat post durng off-road use scratches the surface a lttle. Ths s normal wear and no reason for complant. If you want to adjust the seat post frequently, Canyon recommends that you mount a heght-adjustable seat post.
6 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 7 UNPACKING HOW TO MOUNT HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE SEAT POSTS Pror to applyng Canyon assembly paste, remove drt partcles and lubrcant resdues from the surfaces to be treated. Apply a thn and even flm of Canyon assembly paste to the cleaned surfaces usng a brush or a chamos. Take out the box wth the small parts and put t asde. Remove the protectve cardboard at one end. Remove the Toolcase wth the bcycle manual Mountan bke and the tools from the box wth the small parts. If your Canyon has a heght-adjustable seat post, mount the heght-adjustable seat post before lftng the Canyon out of the Bke- Guard. The heght-adjustable seat post s ready-for-use connected by means of a cable runnng through the seat tube wth the control lever mounted at the handlebars. Undo the band wth Velcro fastener fxng the saddle and the seat post to the front wheel. Mount the components, as specfed. Use the Canyon Torque Wrench and never exceed the prescrbed maxmum tghtenng torque! Remove excessve Canyon assembly paste and re-seal the small sachet after use. Remove the protectve cap from the top end of the seat tube. Remove the protectve cardboard at the other end. If you have a bke wth 29 and 27.5 nch tyres, the box wth small parts and the Toolcase may be stowed n uprght poston at one end of the BkeGuard. In the BkeGuard the control lever of the heght-adjustable seat post s not necessarly mounted to the handlebars. Open the quck-release or the seat post bnder bolt at the seat tube. Read the chapter How to use quck-releases and thru axles n your bcycle manual Mountan bke beforehand. Carefully place the seat post on the rear wheel. Take out the cardboard box wth the front wheel and put t asde. Carefully remove the protectve flm from the seat post.
8 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 9 HOW TO MOUNT CONVTIONAL SEAT POSTS Apply a lttle Canyon assembly paste to the bottom part of the seat post and nsde the seat tube or n the clampng area of the seat post. You should be able to nsert the seat post easly nto the frame wthout pressng or turnng. If you are not, loosen the seat post bnder bolt a lttle more. Brng the saddle nto algnment and close the quck-release or the seat post bnder bolt. Take care not to overtghten the seat post bnder bolt or quck-release. Remove the protectve flm from the saddle, f avalable. Remove the saddle and the seat post wth the front wheel packed n the cardboard box and put these parts carefully asde. Undo the band wth Velcro fastener fxng the saddle and the seat post to the front wheel and put these parts asde. Keep the seat post n one hand and take hold of the seat post cable where t comes out of the frame. Whle carefully nsertng the seat post wth one hand nto the seat tube, pull out the cable wth the other hand. Make sure the cable of the heght-adjustable seat post does not break durng the assembly. Slde the seat post nto the seat tube to the desred mnmum saddle heght. Please note the MIN/MAX markng on the seat tube. Be sure to read the notes gven n chapter Adjustng the saddle to the correct heght as well as the permtted torques n chapter General notes on care and nspecton of your bcycle manual Mountan bke and also follow the operatng nstructons of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD. Lft the frame carefully off the BkeGuard and make sure t stands safe. Ask your helper, f necessary, to hold the bke. Keep the entre packagng materal as well as the BkeGuard n a dry place. If you ntend to shp your Canyon or to take t wth you on a trp, you wll have everythng at hand. Remove the Toolcase wth the bcycle manual Mountan bke and the tools from the small parts box. The front wheel may be packed add tonally n a wheel bag.

Keep hold of the handlebars and undo the band wth Velcro fastener n the top area at the frame. Hold the handlebars tghtly whle dong ths so that they cannot drop and get damaged. Take the Canyon Torque Wrench and put the bt matchng the faceplate bolts nto the holder. Release the clampng bolts of the stem faceplate completely and remove the faceplate.
12 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 13 MOUNTING THE IMPACT PROTECTION UNIT (IPU) Squeeze out some Canyon assembly paste and apply a thn layer of carbon assembly paste on the nner sde of the faceplate as well as n the clampng area of the stem body. Poston the faceplate on the handlebars. Retghten the clampng bolts of the faceplate evenly n a cross pattern untl they lghtly hold the handlebars n place. Brng the handlebars roughly nto the adequate poston so that the brake levers slghtly pont downwards. Some Canyon models wth carbon frame are ftted wth an Impact Protecton Unt or IPU, whch s an end stop. Ths IPU prevents the handlebars or ts fttngs from touchng the top tube. Whether or not your Canyon has an IPU can be found out by the two thread holes on the top tube drectly behnd the headset. Make sure the stem ncludng handlebars shows n drecton of moton. Poston the IPU on the top tube wth the rounded sde pontng n drecton of moton and the bevelled part to the rear levellng off wth the top tube. If your Canyon shows these two holes, take out the Impact Protecton Unt wth the two Allen bolts from the box wth the small parts. Poston the handlebars by means of the markng accurately centred n the stem clamp. Make sure the bowden cables and the lnes are not twsted or bent, but run n a smooth curve to the cable stops or brakes. Make sure the upper and lower clampng slots between faceplate and stem body are parallel and dentcal n wdth. Release the clampng bolts, f necessary, and re-tghten them slghtly and evenly. At ths stage the mountan bke s not yet ready-for-use. Carry out the fnal adjustment and fxng of the handlebars, as descrbed further below n chapter Adjustng and mountng the handlebars. If you rde wthout IPU, you are at rsk that the handlebars or fttngs wll ht the top tube. Ths can result n damage to the frame. Insert both bolts nto the holes and turn them by two to three turns. You should be able to turn the bolts nearly wthout resstance. Once you have turned both bolts so far take the Canyon Torque Wrench ncludng matchng bt. Tghten both bolts untl the bolt heads are flush n the countersunk surface of the IPU. Fnsh by tghtenng both bolts to a torque value of 3 Nm.
