3 WELCOME 2 WELCOME WELCOME 3 DEAR CANYON CUSTOMER, In ths manual we have compled for you lots of tps on how to use your Canyon bke, nstructons for mantenance and care plus a wealth of thngs worth knowng on bcycle technology. Read ths manual thoroughly. You wll fnd t worth your whle; even f you have cycled all your lfe and feel lke a veteran wth your new bke. Bcycle technology has developed tremendously over the past few years. For your enjoyment and safety when cyclng on your Canyon, read the complete frst part of ths manual thoroughly and strctly follow the assembly nstructons gven n chapter Assembly from the BkeGuard, read chapter Before your frst rde, see chapter Intended use to read up on how to use your new bke and on the permtted overall weght (rder, clothng and baggage) and carry out the mnmum functonal check before every rde. For more detals on how to proceed, read chapter Before every rde of ths manual. Do not rde your bke unless t has passed the functonal check one hundred per cent On the dgtal data medum enclosed wth ths manual you wll fnd a number of mantenance and repar routnes n detal. When carryng out these routnes, be aware that the nstructons and nformaton provded n your manual only refer to ths Canyon bke and that they do not necessarly apply to other bkes. Due to numerous desgns and model changes, t may be that some of the routnes are not descrbed n every detal. For ths reason be sure to also observe the operatng nstructons of our component supplers enclosed wth the BkeGuard. Note that the nstructons and tps may requre further explanaton dependng on varous factors, such as the experence and sklls of the person dong the work or the tools beng used, and some jobs may requre addtonal (specal) tools or measures not descrbed n the manual. Furthermore, you wll fnd numerous servce moves on our webste that wll help you carry out small repar and mantenance works. For your own safety, never do work on your bcycle unless you feel absolutely sure about t. If you are n doubt or f you have any questons, contact our servce hotlne Note: Ths manual cannot teach you the sklls of a bcycle mechanc. Even a manual as bg as an encyclopaeda could not descrbe every possble combnaton of avalable bcycles and components. For ths reason ths manual focuses on your newly purchased bke and standard components by drawng your attenton to mportant notes and warnngs. It does, however, not teach you the basc sklls of a bke mechanc or help you assemble a complete bke from the Canyon frameset Ths manual cannot teach you how to rde. For ths reason ths manual focuses on your newly purchased bke by drawng your attenton to the most mportant notes and warnngs. Ths manual cannot teach you rdng a bke or make you famlar wth the traffc rules. Be aware that cyclng s a hazardous actvty that requres that the rder stays n control of hs or her bke at all tmes. Lke any sport, bcyclng nvolves the rsk of njury and damage. By choosng to rde a bke, you assume the responsblty for the rsk. Always keep n mnd that you have no protecton technque around you, whch could avod njures, such as e.g. the bodywork or the arbag of a car. Observe the road traffc rules n the country where you use your Canyon Urban bke. Therefore, always rde carefully and respect the other traffc partcpants. Never rde under drugs, alcohol or when you are tred. Do not rde wth a second person on your bke and never rde wthout havng your hands on the handlebars. Before you set off note: Always rde carefully so as not to endanger yourself or others. Respect nature when tourng through forests and meadows. Make t a habt to only rde wth approprate equpment. At least you should wear a properly adjusted bke helmet, sturdy shoes and sutable, brght coloured clothng. Your Canyon team wshes you lots of fun and enjoyment wth your bke Ths manual does not help you to assemble a bcycle from ndvdual parts or to repar t Techncal detals n the text and llustratons of ths manual are subject to change.

4 4 INTENDED USE INTENDED USE 5 INTENDED USE To defne the ntended purposes for the dfferent types of bcycles, we have classfed our bkes n dfferent categores. The purpose of ths classfcaton s to defne the test requrements complyng wth the respectve stress as early as durng the development of our bkes. Ths s to ensure the hghest possble level of safety for the use of our bkes. It s therefore of major mportance that the bkes are not used under condtons beyond the ntended use, as ths bears the rsk that the bkes maxmum load s exceeded and the frame or other components are damaged. Ths can result n severe crashes. Condton 2 Bcycles of category 1 and bcycles desgned for well paved gravel paths and off-road trals wth a slght slope where a short loss of tyre contact wth the ground due to small steps can occur. Ths condton comprses urban and cty bkes as well as cyclocross bkes wth road racng handlebars and cantlever or dsc brakes. The rder s maxmum weght ncl. baggage must not exceed 120 kg. Under certan crcumstances ths permssble maxmum weght can be further lmted by the component manufacturers recommendatons for use. The frame of your bke s marked accordng to one of the followng symbols ndcatng the category your bke belongs to. If you are not sure about the category your bke belongs to, contact our servce centre. Condton 0 Ths category s ntended for chldren s bcycles. Chldren should not rde near precpces, starcases or swmmng pools nor on paths used by automotve mobles. In general, ths apples to bcycles wth wheel szes of 12 to 24 nches. Canyon bkes are not approved n general for mountng chld carrers. Condton 1 Bkes of ths category are desgned for rdng on hard-surface roads where the wheels reman n permanent contact to the ground. These are n general road racng bcycles wth racng handlebars or straght handlebars, trathlon or tme tral bcycles. The rder s maxmum weght ncl. baggage should not exceed 120 kg. Under certan crcumstances ths permssble maxmum weght can be further lmted by the component manufacturers recommendatons for use. Canyon bkes are not approved for towng (kds) tralers. Mountng a panner rack to the carbon seat post of your Urban bke s not permtted. The only way of rdng wth baggage s by usng a specal bcycle backpack. Keep yourself nformed by vstng our constantly updated webste at There you wll fnd an llustraton showng n graphc form the ntended use of all Canyon bkes. Do not use the Canyon bke on a bcycle traner to whch t s attached n any way Canyon bkes are ntended to be only used on free rollers (bcycle rollers wthout brake). Do not use the Canyon bke on a bcycle traner to whch t s attached n any way.

5 6 BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE 7 BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE 1. Have you ever rdden an Urban bke? Observe that rdng on feld and forest tracks as well as n the cty requres a specal amount of concentraton, ftness and practce. Make yourself gradually famlar wth your new Urban bke n an unfrequented area and slowly get used to the road condtons where you are rdng on. Attend a rdng technque course. For more nformaton vst 2. Are you famlar wth the brake system? Canyon bkes are normally delvered wth the left brake lever operatng the front brake. Check whether the lever of the front brake s n the poston you are used to. If t s not, you wll need to tran to get used to the new confguraton, as nadvertent use of the front brake can throw you off your bke. Have the lever-to-brake assgnment changed by an expert, f necessary. Your new bke s equpped wth modern brakes whch may be far more powerful than those you are used to Be sure to frst practse usng the brakes off publc roads Do approach the maxmum possble deceleraton gradually. For more nformaton about the brakes, read chapter The brake system. 3. Are you famlar wth the type and functonng of the gears? If not, make yourself famlar wth the gears n a place clear of traffc. Make sure not to shft gears on the front and rear deralleur at the same tme and not to pedal wth too much force when shftng. For more nformaton about the gears, read chapter The gears. Too hard brakng wth front brake; do not mtate Note that the assgnment of brake lever to brake callper can vary from country to country Check the brake assgnment. If t does not comply wth your habts, we recommend you havng an expert change the lever-to-brake assgnment Gates belt drve wth gear hub Deralleur gears 4. Are frame sze, saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? Stand over the top tube of your bke and check whether there s enough clearance between the top tube and your crotch (at least one handbreadth). If there s not, you wll fnd more nformaton under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at Rdng wth a too bg frame may cause njures, when gettng off your bke quckly The saddle of your Urban bke should be set to a heght from whch you can just reach the pedal n ts lowest poston wth your heel. Check whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sttng on the saddle. For more nformaton about the saddle poston, read chapter Adjustng the Urban bke to the rder. 5. Have you ever tred clpless or step-n pedals and the shoes they go wth? Before settng off wth clpless pedals for the frst tme, carefully practse lockng one shoe onto a pedal and dsengagng t whle the bke s statonary. Lean aganst a wall when practsng so that you do not topple over. Adjust the lockng and release mechansm, f necessary. For more nformaton on the pedal systems read the notes under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at Checkng the clearance between top tube and crotch Shoes for step-n pedals Step-n pedal A lack of practce when usng clpless pedals or too much sprng tenson n the mechansm can lead to a very frm connecton, from whch you cannot quckly step out Rsk of a fall

6 8 BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE BEFORE EVERY RIDE 9 6. Note that you should only use your Canyon for ts ntended purpose Urban bkes are not sutable for off-road use, hard downhll rdes over blocked terran or for jumps etc. Keep n mnd that though lookng easy the trcks of a professonal actually requre a lot of tranng and experence. For your own safety, do not overestmate your rdng abltes. In general, Canyon bkes are desgned for an overall load (rder and baggage) of 120 kg. Make sure not to exceed ths lmt. For more nformaton about the use, read chapter Intended use. 7. Are parts of your Canyon bke made of carbon? Note that ths materal requres specal care and careful use. In any case, be sure to read chapter Specal characterstcs of carbon. 8. Is your Urban bke equpped wth a Gates belt drve? Make sure the belt s always correctly tghtened and runs properly over the front and rear belt wheels. Be sure to read chapter The gears n any case. Rdng n the cty Carbon BEFORE EVERY RIDE CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE: 1. Are the Wheelguards or axle nuts of the front and rear wheel or at the seat post properly closed? For more nformaton, read chapter How to use the Wheelguard. 2. Are the tyres n good condton and do both tyres have suffcent pressure? A hgher pressure gves a better rdng stablty and reduces the rsk of a puncture. The mnmum and maxmum pressure (n bar or PSI) s ndcated on the tyre sde. For more nformaton on tyres, tubes and ar pressure read the notes under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at Test the brakes whle standng by frmly pullng brake levers towards the handlebars. A pressure pont should be reached after the lever has only travelled a short dstance; the lever must, however, not touch the handlebars Make sure no lqud leaks out from hydraulc (dsc) brakes. For more nformaton on the brakes read the notes under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at Wheelguard Check the tyre pressure You should not be able to pull the brake lever all the way to the handlebars Canyon Commuter wth Gates belt drve Canyon Urban bkes are hgh-end bkes, representng lghtweght constructon as pnnacle of engneerng. Also be a professonal when t comes to handlng of the materal. Msuse, unprofessonal assembly or nsuffcent mantenance can render the Urban bke unsafe. Rsk of an accdent Improperly closed Wheelguards or axle nuts can cause bcycle components to come loose. Rsk of a fall Do not use your Urban bke, f t fals on one of these ponts

7 10 BEFORE EVERY RIDE ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD If you want to rde on publc roads or n the dark, check the lghtng set, see chapters Lghtng and Legal requrements for rdng on publc roads. 5. Let your Urban bke bounce on the ground from a small heght. If there s any rattlng, see where t comes from. Check the bearngs and bolted connectons, f necessary. 6. The major accessory for a successful cyclng tour s a small tool bag ftted underneath the saddle. The tool kt should nclude two plastc tyre levers, the most commonly used Allen keys, a spare tube, a tyre repar kt, your moble phone and a lttle cash. Do not forget a tyre pump mounted to the frame. 7. Take a sturdy lock wth you, f you ntend to leave your Urban bke n a publc area. The only way to protect your Urban bke as much as possble aganst theft n a publc area s to lock t to an mmovable object. Never rde wthout lghtng n the dark Emergency kt 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 would lke to make you famlar wth the varous components of your Canyon. Unfold the front cover of your bcycle manual Urban. Here you wll fnd the llustraton of a Canyon Urban bke showng all the essental components. Keep ths page folded out whle you are readng. Ths means that you can quckly fnd the component that s beng referred to n the text. The llustraton shows an arbtrary Canyon Urban bke ths s not what every bke wll look lke. CHECKING THE CONTENTS 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 whch s sometmes packed separately n a wheel bag and the saddle wth seat post. In addton, the BkeGuard contans a box wth small parts (e.g. Wheelguard, reflectors, possbly pedals) and the toolcase wth Canyon torque wrench ncl. bts, Canyon assembly paste and the bcycle manual Urban. Always wear sutable, brght clothng; as a mnmum you should wear straght-cut trousers or use leg bands or the lke. Ths s to make sure your trousers do not get caught n the chan or the chanrngs. Rsk of a fall In addton, wear shoes fttng the pedal system of your bke. To safe your Urban bke from damage, observe the maxmum overall load and the regulatons regardng the transport of baggage and chldren gven n chapter Intended use. Furthermore, before transportng the bke by car or plane you should read the nformaton under Servce at our webste Durng use your Urban bke s undergong stress resultng from the surface of the road and through the rder s acton. Due to these dynamc loads, the dfferent parts of your bke react wth wear. Check your Canyon regularly for wear marks as well as for scratches, dents, bent parts and ncpent crackng. Components that have passed ther normal servce lfe may suddenly fal. Have your Canyon nspected regularly so that components can be replaced, f necessary. For more nformaton on mantenance and operatonal safety, read chapters General notes on care and nspecton, Recommended torque values and Servce and mantenance schedule. 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. Share the pleasure that your new Canyon brngs and ask a helper to assst you n unpackng t from the BkeGuard and n assemblng t. The easest and safest way to assemble the bke s when you use a workstand or ask someone to help you. 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.

8 12 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 13 GENERAL INFORMATION ON URBAN BIKE ASSEMBLY USING THE CANYON TORQUE WRENCH USING THE CANYON ASSEMBLY PASTE 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. If you are not sklled n bke assembly or have no experence n ths feld, you wll fnd more nformaton under Servce at our webste Also read the manuals of the component manufacturers. Before your frst rde, carry out the checks descrbed n chapter Before every rde. We from Canyon regard the use of a torque wrench as essental so as to ensure that 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 s best to use a workstand that holds the frame from nsde at three ponts or to ask a helper to hold your Canyon whle you assemble t. 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. Exceedng the maxmum torque value 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 observe strctly the torque values ndcated by 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 of the prescrbed torque value. Assemble your Canyon usng the Canyon torque wrench enclosed wth the Bke- Guard. 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.

9 14 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 15 UNPACKING 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. 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, f avalable. Carefully lft the frame to whch the front wheel as well as the saddle and the seat post are fastened together wth the components and the mounted rear wheel out of the BkeGuard. Make t a rule to use assembly paste on seat posts of Urban bkes to acheve a frm seat of the seat posts. If the heght of the seat post s often changed, the surface s at rsk of beng scratched. Ths s normal wear and no reason for complant. Mount the components, as specfed. Use the Canyon torque wrench and never exceed the prescrbed maxmum torque value. Remove excessve Canyon assembly paste and re-seal the small sachet after use. Remove the toolcase wth the bcycle manual Urban and the tools from the small parts box. Make sure the saddle and the seat post are fastened to the frame. 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. Safely place down the partly assembled Urban bke wth the trangular wheel support cardboard. Ask your helper, f necessary, to hold the bke. When lftng out the frame, hold tght the front wheel as well as the saddle and the seat post to make sure they do not fall down and get damaged.

10 16 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 17 MOUNTING THE SADDLE AND THE SEAT POST Carefully undo the band wth Velcro fastener fxng the saddle and the seat post to the frame and put these parts asde. Measure the saddle heght of your prevous bcycle from the mddle of the bottom bracket up to the top edge of the saddle n the mddle of the saddle. Then transfer the saddle heght to your new Urban bke. Release the seat post bnder bolt at the seat tube. Read beforehand chapter How to use the Wheelguard and Adjustng the Urban bke to the rder. Slde the seat post nto the seat tube to the desred saddle heght. Never rde your Canyon f the MAX markng of the seat post s vsble. Remove the protectve flm from the saddle, f avalable. Never apply any grease or ol to clampng areas made of carbon Do not exceed the maxmum torque values You wll fnd the prescrbed values n chapter Recommended torque values, drectly on the components and/or n the manuals of the component manufacturers. Carefully undo the band wth Velcro fastener fxng the front wheel to the frame and put the front wheel carefully asde. 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. Pull the seat post out agan. Apply a lttle Canyon assembly paste to the bottom part of the seat post and nsde the seat tube or n the marked clampng area of the seat post. Brng the saddle nto algnment and do not overtghten the seat post bnder bolt or the Wheelguard,.e. do not exceed the permssble maxmum torque value of 8 Nm. Use the Canyon torque wrench. Observe the nstructons n chapter Adjustng the saddle to the correct heght as well as the permssble torque values n chapter General notes on care and nspecton. Also observe the nstructons of the component manufacturer. The Canyon Perfect Poston System (PPS) offers you the possblty to select your Canyon perfectly tuned to your body wthout a test rde.

11 18 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 19 MOUNTING THE HANDLEBARS Mountng the handlebars to the Canyon Commuter (Canyon H18 Flat Extensons) Mountng the handlebars to the Canyon Urban (Canyon H27 Flat AL) Hold both fxed handlebar extensons tght. Start by undong the band wth Velcro fastener fastenng the rght-hand handlebar extenson to the fork. Slde the rght-hand handlebar extenson on the handlebar/stem combnaton. Take the bag wth the four handlebar bolts out of the small parts box. Take the Canyon torque wrench and put the bt matchng the handlebar bolts nto the holder. Hold the flat handlebars whch are fastened to the fork tght and undo the band wth Velcro fastener whch s fastened to the top tube. Undo the band wth Velcro fastener fastenng the lefthand handlebar extenson to the top tube. The fork s fxed by means of the headset tself and cannot slp out. Slde the left-hand handlebar extenson on the handlebar/stem combnaton. Slghtly tghten the two handlebar bolts evenly on each bottom sde of the handlebar by usng the Canyon torque wrench to a maxmum torque of 4 Nm. Do not exceed the maxmum torque values Undo the band wth Velcro fastener n the bottom area of the fork. Hold the handlebars tght 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. In packed condton the handlebars are not assembled, the stem s however assembled accurately. Do not make any changes to the stem. 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. At ths stage the Urban bke s not yet ready-for-use. Carry out the fnal adjustment and check of the handlebars.

12 20 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD Poston the fork and the stem n drecton of moton. Unscrew the clampng bolts of the faceplate completely. Poston the stem clamp n the mddle of your new Canyon handlebars so that the handlebars extend the same dstance from the stem on each sde. The centre poston s ndcated wth the marks on the handlebars. Turn n the ndvdual bolts of Canyon stems wth a precsely fttng Allen key by a few turns. Then turn n only the two upper bolts untl the upper clampng slot s completely closed. Contnue by tghtenng both lower bolts (pos. 4+2) accordng to the torque values on the stem (5 or 8 Nm). Fnsh by re-tghtenng both upper bolts (pos. 1+3) accordng to the torque values on the stem. 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. Remove the faceplate. If the handlebars do not slde easly nto the stem clamp or f there s play between the two components, contact the Canyon servce hotlne at and ask whether both components are compatble. Tghten the greased bolts of the stem faceplate wth your fngers by a few turns. Do not apply grease on the clampng surfaces. Screw n both upper bolts (pos. 1+3) wthout tghtenng them (1 Nm). The slot should be fully closed n the end, the faceplate should be flush wth the body. To do so, you may have to release both lower bolts (pos. 4+2) a lttle. Check whether the clampng slots between faceplate and stem body are parallel. The upper slot must be closed, the lower slot s then a lttle opened. Release the clampng bolts once agan, f necessary, and re-tghten them slghtly and evenly accordng to the ndcated values. At ths stage the Urban bke s not yet ready-for-use. Carry out the fnal adjustment and check of the handlebars.

13 22 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD Fnsh by tghtenng the bolts evenly and n a cross pattern to the marked torque value. MOUNTING THE FRONT WHEEL Remove the protectve flm from the fork, f avalable. It s recommended that you remove the protectve materal n general by hand. If that s not possble, t s best to use scssors. Do not use a box cutter. If your Canyon has dsc brakes, check before mountng the wheel, whether the brake pads rest snugly n ther seats nto the brake callper body. Ths s the case, when the gap between the brake pads s parallel. Turn off the locknut from the Wheelguard and remove the sprng. Tghten the locknut of the Wheelguard slghtly by hand and mount the front wheel. Remove the transport locks from the front wheel brake. For more nformaton about the brakes, read chapter The brake system. Also observe the manual of the component manufacturer. The wheels of your Canyon Urban bke do not have quck-releases, but a so-called Wheelguard. These are ant-theft lock devces for your wheels,.e. when the Wheelguard s closed, t cannot be re-opened as long as your bke s n uprght poston. Insert the Wheelguard nto the hollow axle of the wheel. Slde the sprng onto the Wheelguard. Make sure the sprng shows wth ts small dameter to the hub axle. If you have dsc brakes, check before mountng the wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly n ther seats n the brake callper. The gaps between the brake pads and the wheel should be parallel and the wear ndcators n ther correct poston. Make sure you gude the rotor between the brake pads carefully. For more nformaton read chapter How to use the Wheelguard. Also observe the manuals of the component manufacturers. Make sure the front wheel s correctly seated n the drop-outs and accurately centred between the fork legs.

14 24 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 25 CHECKING THE HEADSET Tghten the locknut by usng the Canyon torque wrench accordng to the torque values on the Wheelguard. Do not exceed the ndcated torque value Fnally lft the bke a few centmetres from the ground so that the wheel s suspended and ht the tyre from above. A securely fastened wheel remans n the axle mounts of frame or fork and wll not rattle. MOUNTING THE MUDGUARDS The front wheel mudguard must be screwed to the mounts at the fork. Tghten the bolts by usng the Canyon torque wrench accordng to the marked torque values. ADJUSTING AND MOUNTING THE HANDLEBARS (CANYON H27 FLATBARS) Check the headset for play by placng your fngers around the head cup. Brng your weght to bear on the saddle, pull the front brakes wth your other hand and push the Canyon Urban bke frmly back and forth wth the wheel remanng on the ground. If there s play n the bearng, there wll be a lght jerk and the upper cup gets out of algnment wth the lower cup whch becomes vsble by the slot between the cups. After mountng the wheel and tghtenng the Wheelguard pull the brake lever several tmes and spn the wheel subsequently. The rotor must not drag on the brake callper and normally not on the brake pads. Some Canyon Urban bkes have mudguards. The rear wheel mudguard s already mounted. Make the adjustments of the handlebars wth the front wheel mounted and the tyre nflated to the sutable pressure. The brake levers of a ready-for-use Urban bke pont slghtly downwards. When you st n the saddle wth your fngers on the brake levers the back of your hands should form a straght lne wth your forearms. To check the bearng for ease of runnng, lft the frame untl the front wheel no longer touches the ground. The front wheel must turn from far left to far rght and back wthout catchng anywhere. A lght tap on the handlebars must be enough to turn the fork out to the sde. New brake pads of dsc brakes have to be bedded n, before they reach ther optmum brakng performance. For more nformaton read chapter The brake system. Bar ends on Urban bkes are usually ftted slghtly angled. Your hands should rest on them wth your wrsts relaxed and not turned outward too far. If ths s not the case, brng the handlebars nto the correct poston and tghten the stem bolts, as descrbed above. Adjust the brake levers/shfters, as descrbed n chapter Shfter and brake lever adjustment. If there s play n the bearng or f t s too tght, contact our servce hotlne at

15 26 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 27 MOUNTING THE PEDALS CHECKING AND ADJUSTING Canyon Urban bkes can be ftted wth standard pedals of the major brands. Apply a thn layer of standard assembly grease on the pedal threads before screwng n the pedals. Some pedal types have to be tghtened wth an Allen key. After mountng the wheel and tghtenng the Wheelguard pull the brake lever several tmes and spn the wheel subsequently. ADD-ON PARTS MAKING YOUR CANYON FIT FOR PUBLIC ROADS Before mountng the pedals, check the markng on the pedal axles frst. R stands for rght pedal and L for left pedal. Note that the left pedal has a left-handed thread that has to be tghtened contrary to the drecton you are accustomed to,.e. antclockwse. Screw each pedal manually nto the thread of ts crank by two to three full turns. Contnue by usng a pedal spanner to tghten the pedals frmly. Fx the whte reflector to the handlebars and the red reflector to the seat post and mount a bell. Fnsh by mountng the spoke reflectors. Make sure you mount two reflectors opposte of each other to the spokes of the front wheel and two reflectors opposte of each other to the spokes of the rear wheel. The rotor must not drag heavly on the brake callper and normally not on the brake pads. Spn both wheels to make sure they run true. Check the relable ft of the pedals after about 100 km (60 mles). The pedals can come loose, and ths can destroy the thread and throw the rder off the bke. Also check the relable ft of the other bolts accordng to the prescrbed torque values. Observe the road traffc regulatons n the country where you use the bke. You can fnd further nformaton n chapter Legal requrements for rdng on publc roads. New brake pads of dsc brakes have to be bedded n.

16 28 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD 29 After the wheel mountng do a brake test when statonary. Actuatng the brake lever should generate a clear-cut brakng response before the lever touches the handlebars. For more nformaton read chapter The brake system. If your Urban bke has deralleur gears, make sure the rear deralleur does not collde wth the spokes when the chan runs on the largest sprocket. For more nformaton on gear adjustment read chapter The gears as well as the manuals of the component manufacturers. Regularly check the tght ft of the bolted connecton of the hub and of the torque support to the frame. Your seat post must go nto the frame as a mnmum to as far as underneath the top tube and up to the MIN/MAX markng of the seat post. Never rde your Canyon f the MIN/MAX markng of the seat post s vsble. Check the proper functonng of the gears. Shft through all the gears. After the assembly and the checkng, always do a test rde n an unfrequented place or on a quet road Wrong assembly or mproper adjustments that become apparent n road traffc or durng off-road use can make you lose control of your Canyon If your Urban bke has a Gates belt drve, two yellow markngs on the rght sde of the hub must be brought n algnment to ensure proper adjustment. Ths s acheved by adjustng the Bowden cable drectly at the shft lever, smlar to the adjustment of gear deralleurs. For more nformaton on gear adjustment read chapter The gears as well as the manuals of the component manufacturers. Adjust the poston of the saddle and handlebars and check that the handlebars, grps and seat post are securely fastened, as descrbed n chapter Adjustng the Urban bke to the rder. Check the relable ft of all bolts once agan accordng to the prescrbed torque values after 100 to 300 km (60 to 180 mles). For more nformaton read chapters General notes on care and nspecton, Recommended torque values and Servce and mantenance schedule n your bcycle manual Urban.

17 30 PACKING WHEELGUARD 31 PACKING YOUR URBAN BIKE HOW TO USE THE WHEELGUARD If you pack your Urban bke, e.g. to send t n for servcng to our workshop, or f you want to take t wth you on holdays, you must bear n mnd a few thngs to brng your bke safe and sound to ts destnaton. You wll fnd more nformaton on how to pack your Canyon under Servce at our webste Strctly follow these nstructons, whenever you pack your bke. For travellng wth your bke by plane pack your bke ether nto the Canyon BkeGuard or use a sutable bke case. For a transport by car be sure to secure your bke approprately n order to avod any shftng nsde the car. If you are n doubt or f you have any questons, contact our servce hotlne at The Canyon BkeGuard Packng the Urban bke NOTES ON MOUNTING WHEELS WITH WHEELGUARD ALLURE GRAVITY The wheels of your Canyon Commuter/Urban bke do not have quck-releases, but a so-called Wheelguard. These are ant-theft lock devces for your wheels,.e. when the Wheelguard s closed, t cannot be reopened as long as your bke s n uprght poston. HOW TO SECURELY MOUNT THE WHEEL WITH THE WHEELGUARD Turn off the locknut from the Wheelguard and remove the sprng. Insert the Wheelguard nto the hollow axle of the wheel. Slde the sprng onto the Wheelguard. Make sure the sprng shows wth ts small dameter to the hub axle. Remove locknut and sprng from the Wheelguard Slde Wheelguard nto the hollow axle Mount the wheel as descrbed n chapter Assembly from the BkeGuard. Tghten the locknut of the Wheelguard slghtly by hand. Tghten the locknut by usng the Canyon torque wrench accordng to the torque values on the Wheelguard. Do not exceed the ndcated torque value Always secure the bcycle or bcycle components when puttng t/them nto the nteror of your car. Parts shftng around can mpar your safety. In the event your Canyon was not packed for dspatch accordng to the nstructons gven at our webste you have no rght to clam compensaton for possbly occurrng transport damage from Canyon Bcycles GmbH. Most clamps of bke carrer systems are potental sources of damage to large-dameter frame tubes Frames made of alumnum are very susceptble to be affected by dents. Sutable, specal-purpose models are, however, avalable n the car accessory trade. When takng your bke by car, make sure to remove all parts from your bke (tools, panner bags, chld carrers etc.) whch mght come loose durng transport. Rsk of an accdent Observe the ndcated torque value Never use other tools than those recommended by the manufacturer. Make t a rule to use a torque wrench. Never exceed the maxmum torque value ndcated by the manufacturer A too tght fxng of the axle can damage the axle or the fork leg.

18 32 WHEELGUARD ADD-ON PARTS AND CHANGES 33 Fnally lft the bke a few centmetres from the ground so that the wheel s suspended and ht the tyre from above. A securely fastened wheel remans n the axle mounts of frame or fork and wll not rattle. Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bcycle or result n serous accdents Never rde a bcycle wthout havng frst checked whether the wheels are securely fastened A wheel that comes loose whlst rdng wll throw you off your bcycle If your bcycle has a Wheelguard, be sure to lock the frame to an mmovable object together wth the wheels when you leave t outsde. Wth an nsuffcently closed Wheelguard the wheels can come loose. Immnent rsk of accdent WHAT TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN ADDING COMPONENTS OR MAKING CHANGES Canyon bkes are sport machnes whch are ftted accordng to the respectve usage. Note that the mountng of mudguards, panner racks or such lke may mpar the functonng and hence the safety whlst rdng. Before buyng and mountng any accessory, check whether ths partcular accessory part matches wth your Canyon. Wth addtonal bells, horns or lghtng accessores, nform yourself thoroughly whether they are permtted and tested and accordngly approved for use on publc roads. Battery/ accumulator-operated lghts have to be marked wth the wavy lne and the letter K (see chapter Legal requrements for rdng on publc roads ). If you want to mount a panner rack or a chld seat or traler, read chapter Intended use beforehand to make sure whether t s permtted. If a mountng s permtted, n general, contact our servce hotlne at and ask for sutable models. Only perform jobs you are absolutely sure of. Handlebars, stems and forks should only be replaced by a sklled mechanc. Be sure to observe the manual of the accessory manufacturer. When mountng other components and accessores, t s your responsblty to mount the components approprately. Brng your Canyon to the Canyon servce workshop, f you have the slghtest doubt. Canyon wth mudguards Lghtng set Retroftted accessores, such as mudguards, panner racks etc., can mpar the functonng of your Canyon. We therefore advse you to use accessores from our product range. Ths wll ensure you use matchng components. Components that come loose or break off as a result of mproper mountng can cause serous accdents. Safety-relevant bolts must be tghtened to ther prescrbed torque values. In case of any questons regardng component assembly, compatblty or f you want to make any changes, read the more detaled chapter of the manual further below or on the enclosed CD or contact our servce hotlne at

19 34 CARBON CARBON 35 SPECIAL CHARACTER- ISTICS OF CARBON Carbon fbre renforced plastc, also referred to as carbon (or CRP), has a number of specal characterstcs compared to conventonal lghtweght materals. Havng some knowledge of these characterstcs s mportant so that you can enjoy your hgh-qualty Canyon for many years and have full confdence n ts materal. Carbon fbre renforced plastc has proved ts value n road racng wth numerous wns. Components made of ths materal are extremely lghtweght and - presupposng proper desgn, processng and treatment - of outstandng strength and stress resstance. However, there s one partcular drawback of ths materal ts brttleness. Therefore, when subjected to stress t does not undergo permanent deformaton, even though ts nner structure may have sustaned damage. In the extreme case, the fbres may separate, thus resultng n the so-called delamnaton and reducng the strength propertes of the component. In contrast to steel or alumnum, carbon components that have sustaned damage to ther nner fbres as a result of excessve stress wll show no outwardly vsble deformaton. Carbon components that have been subjected to overstress are therefore lable to fal durng use, possbly causng an accdent wth unforeseeable consequences. If you have had a crtcal ncdent wth your bke, we advse you to have the relevant component nspected by our servce workshop, or better stll, the whole Canyon Always park your Canyon carefully and make sure t does not topple over. Carbon frames and parts may already sustan damage by smply topplng over. Carbon Be attentve durng rdng. If your carbon component produces any creakng, ths may ndcate a materal defect. Stop usng your bke and contact our servce hotlne to dscuss the steps to be taken. For your own safety, never ask for CRP components to be repared Damaged carbon components should be replaced mmedately and prevented from beng used by anyone else. Carbon components should never be exposed to hgh temperatures, as occurrng durng powder coatng or enamellng. The heat generated by these processes may destroy the component. Do not leave carbon tems n a car n drect sunlght or near sources of heat for prolonged perods. Most clamps of bke carrer systems are potental sources of damage to large-dameter frame tubes As a result thereof carbon frames may suddenly fal durng use. Sutable, specal-purpose models are avalable n the car accessory trade. Make sure the maxmum overall weght of rder, baggage (rucksack) and bcycle does not exceed 120 kg. CARE INSTRUCTIONS Components made of carbon renforced fbre should be cleaned wth a soft rag and clear water, to whch a lttle dsh lqud may be added, f necessary. Tough stans of ol or grease can be removed wth a petroleum-based cleanng agent. Never use degreasng agents contanng acetone, trchloroethlyene, methyl chlorde etc., solvents or non-neutral, chemcal or solvent-contanng cleanng agents that could attack the surface You can use car wax to protect the surface and make t shne. Polshng agents or varnsh cleaner contan sold consttuents that mght attack the surface. Do not combne carbon handlebars wth bar ends, unless they have been specfcally approved. Do not shorten carbon handlebars or clamp the brake levers and shfters further n the mddle than ndcated or needed. Rsk of breakage Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post n the holdng jaws of a workstand The parts may sustan damage. Mount a sturdy (alumnum) seat post nstead and use ths to clamp the frame, or use a work stand that holds the frame at three ponts nsde the frame trangle or that clamps the fork and BB shell. Lke all extremely lghtweght components, carbon components have a lmted servce lfe. The handlebars, the seat post, the carbon wheels and the stem should therefore be replaced at regular ntervals e.g. every 3 years or after 15,000 km (9,300 mles), dependng on frequency and ntensty of use even f they have not been nvolved n accdents or smlar ncdents. Specal pads protect carbon from damage Protect the exposed areas of your carbon frame (e.g. the undersde of the down tube) wth specal pads aganst rubbng cables or stone chps. Avod greasng carbon components. Grease would penetrate the surface of the carbon materal, reducng the coeffcent of frcton and hence mparng the stablty of the clampng jont when tghtened wthn the permssble torque range. Once greased carbon fbre may never ever be fxed n a secure and safe way agan Check your carbon component regularly e.g. when cleanng your bke, for external damage, such as notches, cracks, dents, dscoloratons etc. If the cloth gets caught on somethng, ths area must be examned. Stop usng your Canyon. Contact mmedately our servce hotlne at

20 36 AFTER AN ACCIDENT AFTER AN ACCIDENT 37 AFTER AN ACCIDENT 1. Check whether the wheels are stll frmly fxed n the drop-outs and whether the rms are stll centred wth respect to the frame or fork. Spn the wheels and check whether the wheels run true. If the wheel vsbly wobbles, t must be centred. For more nformaton on the brake system and the wheels read chapter The brake system and the notes under Servce at our webste 2. Check whether the handlebars and stem are nether bent nor ruptured and whether they are level and uprght. Check whether the stem s frmly fxed n the fork by tryng to twst the handlebars relatve to the front wheel. Also, brefly lean on the brake levers to make sure the handlebars are frmly fxed n the stem. For more nformaton read chapter Adjustng the Urban bke to the rder and the notes under Servce at our webste 3. See whether the chan stll runs on the chanrng and sprockets. If your bke fell over to the chan sde, check that the gears stll functon properly. Ask somebody to lft the bke by the saddle, then gently swtch through all the gears. Pay partcular attenton when swtchng to the small gears, makng sure the rear deralleur does not get too close to the spokes as the chan clmbs onto the larger sprockets. A bent rear deralleur or bent dropouts can make the rear deralleur collde wth the spokes rsk of accdent Ths n turn can destroy the rear deralleur, the rear wheel or the frame. The wheels must be fastened securely Try twstng the handlebars relatve to the front wheel Look from the rear at the rear gear cluster and check whether the pulleys are perfectly algned wth the teeth of the adequate sprocket 4. If your Canyon Urban bke has a Gates belt drve, check whether the belt s stll correctly tghtened and runs properly over the front and rear belt wheels. For more nformaton read chapter The gears and the notes under Servce at our webste 5. Make sure the saddle s not twsted usng the top tube or the BB shell as a reference. 6. Lft your bke up a few centmetres and let t bounce onto the ground. If ths causes any sort of nose, search for loosened bolts. 7. Fnally, take a good look at the whole bke to detect any deformaton, dscolouraton or cracks. Only rde back very carefully by takng the shortest possble way, f your bke went through ths check wthout any doubt. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not rde your bke out of the saddle. If you are n doubt about the performance of your bke, have yourself pcked up by car, nstead of rskng anythng. Back home the bke must be examned thoroughly. Damaged parts must be repared or replaced. For more nformaton read the notes under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at , f you are n doubt. Make sure the Gates belt runs properly over the rear belt wheel Check algnment of saddle along top tube to make sure t s not twsted Replace lghtweght components after an accdent for you own safety Also observe the partculars gven n chapter Specal characterstcs of carbon. Components whch have suffered from an mpact force as well as bent parts made of alumnum may brake wthout prevous warnng. They must not be repared,.e. straghtened, as the rsk of breakage would stll reman mmnent. Ths apples n partcular to forks, handlebars, stems, crank sets, seat posts and pedals. If n doubt, t s always the better choce to have these parts replaced, as your safety comes frst.

21 38 ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER 39 ADJUSTING THE URBAN BIKE TO THE RIDER ADJUSTING THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT No matter whether you want to rde n streamlned poston or relaxed on a Canyon Urban bke. The (seatng) poston s crucal for your well-beng and the development of your rdng performance on your Urban bke. Therefore, be sure to adjust both saddle and handlebars of your Canyon to your needs as accurately as possble. In prncple, Urban bkes are fun and sports bkes. For ths reason alone rdng an Urban bke requres certan basc precondtons of the trunk, shoulder and neck muscles. Your body heght s the decsve crteron when choosng the frame sze of your Canyon. By choosng a specfc type of bke you already roughly determne the posture you wll be rdng n. However, some components of your Canyon are desgned n a way that you can adjust them to your proportons up to a certan degree. These nclude the seat post, the stem and the brake levers. Never rde a bke wth too hgh a frame, resultng n a low crotch clearance when you stand over the bke. The Canyon Perfect Poston System (PPS) offers you the possblty to select your Canyon perfectly tuned to your body wthout a test rde. For more detals on the PPS vst our webste at In case of any questons contact our servce hotlne at Be sure there s enough clearance between crotch and top tube Typcal poston of an Urban bke rder Typcal poston of a cyclst on the Urban bke All the tasks descrbed n the followng requre some experence, approprate tools and manual sklls. After carryng out assembly work, always make a short check (see chapter Before every rde ) and do a test rde n an unfrequented place or on a quet road. Ths wll allow you to safely check whether everythng s n good order. If you are unsure about how to do somethng, t wll be better just to check your seatng poston. If n doubt, ask an expert to adjust your Canyon. The correct saddle heght on an Urban bke s all a matter of how t allows you to pedal. Attenton: When pedallng, the ball of your bg toe should be postoned above the centre of the pedal spndle. Wth your feet n ths poston you should not be able to stretch your legs completely at the lowest pont. If the saddle s too hgh, you wll have trouble passng through the lowest pont and your pedallng wll become awkward. If the saddle s too low, you may soon fnd your knees achng. You can check the heght of your saddle n the followng smple way. Ths s best done wearng flat-soled shoes. St on the saddle and put one heel on the pedal at ts lowest pont. Your leg must be fully stretched n ths poston. Ensure that your hps reman straght when dong ths. To adjust the saddle heght release the Wheelguard (read chapter How to use the Wheelguard beforehand). Use a sutable tool to release the seat post bnder bolt by turnng t antclockwse. Do not pull the seat post out as far as to let the mark on the shaft come nto vew. In the case of frames wth long seat tubes whch contnue beyond the top tube, the seat post should at least reach below the heght of the top tube Ths can mean a mnmum nserton length of 10 centmetres (4.5 n.) or more. To adjust the saddle heght release the Wheelguard at the seat post bnder bolt The leg must be fully stretched wth the heel on the pedal at ts lowest pont The mnmum nserton depths marked on seat post and frame may dffer. Be sure to nsert the seat post to the deepest nserton depth. Wth chldren who are stll growng t s advsable to check the seatng poston every two to three months. If you mount a carbon seat post, do not put any grease on t, even f the frame s made of metal. Once greased carbon fbre components may never agan ensure relable clampng

22 40 ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER SADDLE HEIGHT FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND SADDLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER 41 Now you can adjust the saddle heght to the desred poston. Make sure the part of the seat post nsde the seat tube s always well greased. (excepton: seat posts made of carbon). Do not use brute force, f the seat post does not move easly nsde the seat tube. Contact, f necessary, our servce hotlne at Algn the saddle wth the frame usng the saddle nose and the bottom bracket or top tube as references. Clamp the seat post tghtly agan by turnng the seat post bnder bolt or the Wheelguard clockwse. You should not need much strength n your hands to clamp the seat post suffcently tght. Otherwse the seat post may be the wrong sze for the frame. If you are n doubt, call our servce hotlne at Check the tght ft of the seat post. Take hold of the saddle wth your hands at both ends and try to turn the seat post n the seat tube. If t does not move, the seat post s frmly seated. Does the leg stretch test now produce the rght result? Check by movng your foot and pedal to the lowest pont. If the ball of your bg toe s exactly above the pedal centre (deal pedallng poston) your knee should be slghtly bent. If ths s the case, the saddle heght s adjusted to the correct heght. Check whether you can balance safely on your bke whle sttng on the saddle by stretchng your feet to the floor. If not, you should lower the saddle a lttle. Tghten carefully by approachng the prescrbed maxmum torque value n small steps (0.5 Nm ncrements) whlst constantly checkng the proper ft of the component. Never exceed the maxmum torque value prescrbed by Canyon Check algnment of saddle along top tube to make sure t s not twsted Tghten the locknut by usng the Canyon torque wrench accordng to the torque values on the Wheelguard Try twstng the saddle relatve to the frame Do not overtghten the bnder bolt of the seat post clamp. Otherwse the seat post or the frame can be damaged. Rsk of an accdent Never rde your bcycle wth the seat post drawn out beyond the lmt, maxmum or stop mark The seat post mght break or cause severe damage to the frame. If your bcycle has a long seat tube contnung beyond the top tube, the seat post should at least reach below the level of the top tube and the tp of the rear stays FORE-TO-AFT-POSI- TION AND SADDLE TILT The nclnaton of your upper body, and hence your rdng comfort and pedallng power, are partally nfluenced by the dstance between the grps of the handlebars and the saddle as well as by the tlt of the saddle. Ths dstance can be altered slghtly by changng the poston of the saddle rals on the seat post. However, ths also nfluences your pedallng. Dependng on whether the saddle s postoned more to the front or more rearwards, your legs wll reach the pedals to a greater or lesser extent from behnd. You need to have the saddle horzontal n order to pedal n a relaxed manner. If t s tlted, you wll constantly have to lean aganst the handlebars to prevent yourself from slppng off the saddle. Note that the bolted connectons of the seat post have to be tghtened to the prescrbed torque values. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maxmum torque values You wll fnd the prescrbed values n chapter Recommended torque values, drectly on the components and/or n the manuals of the component manufacturers. The nclnaton of your upper body s nfluenced by the dstance between the grps of the handlebars and the saddle Do avod a rearward tlt of the saddle Never clamp the saddle n the curved sectons of the saddle ral, but always n the straght secton wthn the range of the markngs. The settng range of the saddle s very small. Replacng the stem allows you to make far larger changes to the fore-to-aft poston, because stems come n lengths dfferng by more than ten centmetres. In most of the cases the length of the cables must be adjusted. Be sure to have ths job done by a specalst workshop. If you have any questons or n case you want to make an appontment, call our servce hotlne at

23 42 ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND SADDLE FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND SADDLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER 43 ADJUSTING SADDLE POSITION AND TILT SEAT POST VCLS 2.0 To adjust the saddle tlt, do remove the seat post. Undo the lockng bolt by one to two turns. Clampng wth two bolts n lne Release both bolts by two to three turns at the most, otherwse the whole assembly can come apart. Move the saddle forth or back to adjust the horzontal poston. Tghten both bolts evenly so the saddle remans at the same angle. Dsplace the leaf sprngs aganst one another. In dong so, observe how the markng changes on the seat post. By sldng the front part down you lower the saddle nose. Even slght changes of the markng have a sgnfcant effect on the saddle tlt. To fx the saddle tlt, turn the lockng bolt untl t creates a lttle frcton between the leaf sprngs. Tghten both bolts evenly and alternately wthout exceedng the permssble maxmum torque value If you wsh to lower the nose of the saddle a lttle, turn the front bolt. It mght be that you have to loosen the rear bolt a lttle. To lower the rear part of the saddle, the rear bolt has to be turned. Havng found your preferred poston make sure both clamps are correctly algned wth the saddle rals before tghtenng the bolts to the correct torque settng as prescrbed by the seat post manufacturer. Release both bolts by 2 to 3 turns at the most Be sure to use the washer under the bolt Slde the seat post back nto the seat tube and check the saddle tlt. If t s as you want t, remove the seat post agan and turn the lockng bolt by usng a torque wrench to a torque value of 6 to 7 Nm. Do not exceed the torque value of 7 Nm. Check the frm seat of the retghtened saddle In dong so, observe the recommended torque values n chapter Recommended torque values. After fastenng the saddle check whether t ressts tltng by brngng your weght to bear on t once wth your hands on the tp and once at the rear end. Retghten the bolts evenly and alternately to the prescrbed torque value Do not exceed the ndcated maxmum torque value Stems come n very dfferent lengths and shaft and bnder tube dameters. A stem of napproprate dmensons can become a serous source of danger: Handlebars and stem may break, causng an accdent n the process. Be sure the saddle ral s clamped wthn the marked area The VCLS Post 2.0 must not be used wthout the lockng bolt. Observe the torque value of 6-7 Nm. Check the bolts by usng a torque wrench once a month accordng to the values ndcated n chapter Recommended torque values, n the enclosed manuals or drectly on the components.

Adjust the handlebars so that you can rest your hands on t wth your wrsts relaxed and not turned outward too far. If you want to make any adjustments, release the bolts by one to two turns. Proceed as descrbed n chapter Mountng the handlebars to the Canyon Urban (Canyon H27 Flat AL). Release the Allen bolt at ether shfter/brake lever mount. Turn the brake and shft lever on the handlebars. St on the saddle and place your fngers on the brake levers. Check whether the back of your hand forms a straght lne wth your lower arm. Re-tghten the shfter/brake lever mount accordng to the ndcatons n chapter Mountng the handlebars to the Canyon Urban (Canyon H27 Flat AL). Check the frm seat of the handlebars and the shfters/brake levers by standng n front of your Canyon and sezng the handlebars at both brake levers. You should not be able to turn the handlebars and the shfter/brake lever mounts downwards, even by applyng force. Gently retghten the clampng bolt(s), f necessary.

25 46 ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER BRAKE LEVER REACH BRAKE SYSTEM 47 ADJUSTING THE BRAKE LEVER REACH Wth many brake systems the dstance between the brake levers and the handlebar grps s adjustable. Ths gves rders wth small hands the convenence of beng able to brng the brake levers closer to the handlebar. The length of the rder s fngers also determnes how the lever poston for frst brake contact should be set. Check the pont, when the brake pads touch the brakng surfaces. If ths pont s reached after the lever has only travelled a short dstance, you have to readjust the brakes. For more nformaton on the adjustment of the brake lever reach, see chapter The brake system. Otherwse the brake mght drag after the adjustment. If ths pont s, however, reached after the lever has travelled half of ts way, there s a lttle play to reduce the grppng dstance of the levers. On most bkes there s a small (headless) bolt near the pont where the brake cable or brake lne enters the brake lever mount. Screw n the bolt and watch how the lever moves as you do so. In the case of hydraulc brakes there s n general an adjustng bolt at the lever wth whch you can change the poston. When you have set the levers to the desred grppng dstance, be sure to check whether there s stll enough slack for the brake levers to move a lttle before the brake pads ht the brake surfaces. Brake lever reach Adjustng the grppng dstance of the brake lever Note that the bolted connectons of the stem, handlebars and brakes have to be tghtened to the prescrbed torque values. You wll fnd the prescrbed values n chapter Recommended torque values or n the enclosed manuals of the component manufacturers. If you dsregard the prescrbed values, the components may come loose or break. Ths can lead to a severe crash. You should not be able to pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars. Your maxmum brake force must be reached short of ths pont THE BRAKE SYSTEM In general the brakes of your Canyon are necessary to adjust your speed to the traffc stuaton. However, n an emergency the brakes must be able to brng your Canyon to a halt as quckly as possble. Such emergency stops are also a study n physcs. In the process of brakng, the rder s weght shfts forward, thus reducng the load on the rear wheel. The rate of deceleraton on a dry and grppy ground s prmarly lmted by the danger of overturnng and only n the second place by the road grp of the tyres. Ths problem becomes partcularly acute when rdng downhll. In the event of an emergency stop you have to try to put your weght back as far as possble. Actuate both brakes smultaneously and bear n mnd that, due to the weght transfer, the front brakes can generate a far better brakng effect on a surface wth good grp. The assgnment of brake lever to brake pad, e.g. left lever acts on front brake, can vary. Have the brakes changed, as you want them, before your frst rde. Wth dsc brakes prolonged brakng or permanent draggng of brake pads can overheat the brake system. Ths can result n a loss of brakng power, even to the pont of total brake falure, provokng serous accdents. Therefore, check your rdng manners and make t a habt to brake hard and then to open the brake agan, whenever the road surface and the stuaton allows t. It s better to stop for a moment and let the rotor or rm cool down wth the brake lever released rather than to rsk anythng. For more nformaton read the notes under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at Dsc brake The assgnment of brake lever to brake pad (e.g. left lever acts on front brake) can vary. Have a look at the bke card and check whether you can actuate the front brake wth the same brake lever (rght or left) you are used to. If ths s not the case, have the brake levers changed accordng to your wshes before your frst rde. Take your tme to get used to your brakes. Practse emergency stops n a place clear of traffc untl you have perfect command of your bke. Ths can prevent accdents. Wet weather reduces your brakng power and makes the tyres slp. Be aware of longer stoppng dstances when rdng n the ran. Reduce your speed and brake carefully. Make sure the brake surfaces and pads are absolutely free of wax, grease and ol. Rsk of an accdent Also observe the addtonal manuals of the brake manufacturer. When replacng any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the approprate mark and, to be on the safe sde, orgnal spare parts.

26 48 GEARS BELT DRIVE GEARS 49 THE GEARS The gears of your bke serve to adjust the gear rato to the terran you are rdng on and the desred speed. In the case of deralleur gears a low gear (chan runs over the small chanrng and the large sprocket) allows you to clmb steep hlls wth moderate pedallng force. You must, however, pedal at a faster pace or hgher frequency. Downhll you swtch to a hgh gear (large chanrng n the front, small sprocket n the rear). Every turn of the pedals takes you many metres forward at correspondngly hgh speed. Contnue pedallng durng gear shftng, however, at clearly reduced pedallng force. In partcular when shftng through the chanrngs, contnue pedallng slowly and wthout force. Modern bkes can have up to 33 gears. As there are, however, overlappng ranges, actually 15 to 18 gears are usable. It s not advsable to use gears whch nvolve an extremely oblque run of the chan, as ths reduces power transmsson effcency and hastens wear of the chan. An unfavourable run of the chan s when the smallest chanrng (front deralleur) s used wth one of the two or three (small) sprockets (rear deralleur) or when the largest chanrng s used wth one of the nner (large) sprockets. In the case of mult-speed hubs and gearbox shft systems 1 stands for the frst, lowest gear. The gears are shfted through one after the other, f possble wthout turnng the pedals, at least, however, at reduced pedal pressure. The hghest number stands for the hghest gear. For more nformaton read the notes under Servce at our webste or contact our servce hotlne at Rear deralleur The Gates belt drve transmts the force to the gear hub Before you set off for the frst tme practse changng gears n a place free of traf- fc untl you are famlar wth the functonng of the dfferent levers or twst grps of your Urban bke. Always make sure changng gears makes as lttle nose as possble and s absolutely jerk-free. Always wear straght-cut trousers or use trouser clps or the lke. Ths s to make sure your trousers do not get caught n the chan or the chanrngs, whch would result n a fall. GATES BELT DRIVE Wth the Gates belt drve a carbon drve belt replaces the usual chan. Ths works only n connecton wth a gear hub. The carbon drve belt s made of carbon fbres whch reduces the weght sgnfcantly and requres less mantenance by offerng more smooth runnng and comfort than a chan. In addton, the belt s more resstant to corroson and the nfluence of drect sunlght. Mantenance and care Thanks to the carbon fbre surface, the belt remans free of drt. Therefore, t wll do to clean the belt wth water, f necessary. The carbon drve belt needs nether lubrcaton nor olng. Check the belt tenson The optmum operaton of the Gates belt drve requres the proper tenson of the belt. An unusual low tenson can make the belt skp and thus affect the performance. Too hgh a tenson of the belt wll render the drve sluggsh and unnecessarly ncrease the wear of the belt and the bearngs. For easy settng of the tenson download the Gates Carbon Drve Phone -App (avalable free of charge n the Tunes App Store), use the Carbon Drve Krkt Gauge or the Eco Tenson Tester (avalable n Europe at present).

27 50 GEARS ECCENTRIC BEARING ECCENTRIC BEARING GEARS 51 READJUSTING THE TENSION ON CANYON URBAN BIKES WITH ECCENTRIC BEARING On Canyon Urban bkes wth mult-speed hubs the tenson of the Gates belt may slacken a lttle durng use. You should therefore check the tenson at regular ntervals and retghten the belt, f necessary. In the case of a new Canyon Urban bke check the tenson more often and later on every 500 to 1,000 klometres (310 to 620 mles) of use. Ths smple mantenance work s mportant, as too slack a belt can come off. In addton, the belt wears down faster and s less effcent. Checkng the tenson Check the correct belt tenson at dfferent ponts ether by usng the specal workshop tools of a bcycle dealer or wth the help of a specal Gates Carbon Drve app and your smart phone. Turn the crank n half turns n between. If the belt s not properly tensoned, you should retenson the belt. Readjustng the tenson To readjust the tenson move the eccentrc bearng together wth the bottom bracket n the bottom area of the BB shell. Eccentrc bearng Releasng the clampng of the eccentrc bearng By movng the Allen key n drecton of the front wheel or to the rear, the crank set shfts to the front due to the turnng movement of the eccentrc bearng, hereby tensonng or releasng the belt. Ths requres n general only lttle force. As soon as the belt s tensoned, hold the eccentrc bearng wth the Allen key n ths poston. Fx the eccentrc bearng by retghtenng the bolts on the bottom sde of the BB shell to the requred, mprnted torque value by usng the Canyon torque wrench. Check After havng the tenson of the Gates belt properly adjusted, check the correct ft of the eccentrc bearng n the BB shell. The eccentrc bearng should not stand out. In case the eccentrc bearng stands out, release t once agan and shft the eccentrc bearng n axal drecton untl t s flush wth the BB shell on both sdes. Fnsh by tghtenng the bolt to the ndcated torque value. Do not exceed the ndcated torque value Check the tenson of the belt once agan. Fxng the eccentrc bearng Check the proper ft of the eccentrc bearng n the BB shell Release the two bolts at the bottom sde of the BB shell by one to two turns by usng an Allen key. Do not unscrew the bolts entrely, but only so far untl the eccentrc bearng can be moved easly. To ncrease the tenson put an Allen key of approprate sze nto the lateral tool mount. Turnng the eccentrc bearng, ncreasng tenson An overtensoned belt can ncrease the wear of the gear hub as well as of the bottom bracket and result n damage. If you have dffcultes n readjustng the tenson, contact the Canyon servce hotlne at The easest and safest way to do the work s by hangng your Canyon Urban bke n a workstand.

28 52 LIGHTING CARE AND INSPECTION 53 LIGHTING Your bke must have a functonng lghtng, f you want to rde on publc roads (see chapter Legal requrements for rdng on publc roads ). You should know how your lghtng set works to be able to repar possble falures on your own. Rear lght and front lamp are powered by the generator, also referred to as dynamo. For ths reason they are connected to the generator by two cables. FRONT LAMP Illumnants are LEDs ( lght emttng dodes ) beamng whte lght by means of a reflector and/or a dffuson dsc on the road lane. Some models are ftted wth a sensor that swtches on the front lamp automatcally when t gets dark; the dynamo must, however, be actvated. An addtonal feature of partcularly hgh qualty front lamps s a stand lght functon or even daytme runnng lghts (both wth LEDs). HUB DYNAMO Hub dynamos are bult nto the hub of the front wheel. They are vrtually non-wearng and extremely effectve. Some models are swtched on electroncally, some others mechancally. Hub dynamos are ether swtched on by a lever at the handlebars or drectly at the front lamp. Other models offer the comfort of beng swtched on and off automatcally by means of a sensor. BATTERY-POWERED LIGHTING Check the usage of battery-powered front lamps and rear lghts nstead of dynamo-powered lghtng on the bass of the road traffc lcensng regulatons n your country. Also see chapter Legal requrements for rdng on publc roads. GENERAL NOTES ON CARE AND INSPECTION Your Canyon s a product of hgh qualty and technology. Nevertheless, as wth other vehcles, you should see to your Canyon regularly and have an expert do the scheduled mantenance work. Lghtweght bkes need to have ther safety-relevant components replaced regularly (see chapter Servce and mantenance schedule ). Ths s the only way to ensure the safe and relable functonng of all components as well as fun and safety on your bke for many years. WASHING AND CLEANING YOUR CANYON Dred sweat, drt and salt from rdng durng the wnter or n sea ar harm your Canyon. You should therefore make a habt of regularly cleanng all the components of your Canyon and protectng them from corroson. Cleanng the Canyon wth rag and water Check all mportant components regularly REAR LIGHT LEDs beam through a (red) dffuson dsc rearwards and are vsble at best even from the sde. Meanwhle, most rear lghts provde a stand lght functon that are powered by a condensator or a battery when the bcycle has to stop, e.g. at a traffc lght. Front lamp Do not clean your Canyon wth a steam jet. Ths cleanng method s quck, but t entals serous drawbacks: As the water s ejected at hgh pressure n a narrowly focussed jet, t may pass through seals and penetrate bearngs. Ths leads to the dluton of lubrcants and consequently to greater frcton and onset of corroson. Ths destroys and mpars the functonng of the bearng races n the long term. Steam jet treatment also tends to abrade stckers. When workng on your Canyon restrct yourself to jobs for whch you are equpped and have the necessary knowledge. Rear lght Do not clean your Canyon wth a strong water or steam jet from a short dstance. In case you need further nformaton on the lghtng, contact our servce hotlne at An ncomplete or noperatve lghtng set s not only aganst the law, t s also a hazard to your lfe. Cyclsts rdng n the dark wthout a lght are lable to be overlooked and rsk gettng nvolved n serous accdents Protect the upward facng part of the chanstay and any places where cables mght rub wth fol or the lke. Ths wll avod any unpleasant scratches and abrason marks.

29 54 CARE AND INSPECTION CARE AND INSPECTION 55 A much more gentle way of cleanng your Canyon s wth a soft water jet and/or wth a bucket of water and a sponge or large brush. Cleanng your Canyon by hand has another postve sde-effect n that t enables you to dscover defects n the pant or worn or defectve components at an early stage. After dryng your Canyon you should polsh ts coatng and metal surfaces wth hard wax (except for the rotors). Apply the hard wax also to spokes, hubs, bolts and nuts etc. Use a hand-held atomzer for parts wth small surfaces. Polsh waxed surfaces wth a soft cloth to gve them a nce shne and make them water-repellent. Inspect the chan after you have fnshed cleanng and grease t, f necessary. For more nformaton on the gears and chan mantenance read the notes under Servce at our webste In the case of Gates belt drves, the belt remans free of drt thanks to the carbon fbre surface. Therefore, t wll do to clean the belt wth water, f necessary. The carbon drve belt needs nether lubrcaton nor olng. Polshng pant and metal surfaces wth hard wax Fnsh cleanng your Canyon by lubrcatng the chan SAFEKEEPING AND STORING YOUR CANYON If you regularly look after your Canyon durng the season, you wll not need to take any specal precautons when storng t for a short tme, apart from securng t aganst theft. It s advsable to store your Canyon n a dry and ary place. There are some thngs to bear n mnd when puttng your Canyon away for the wnter: Inflated nner tubes tend to gradually lose ar when the bke s not used for a long tme. If your Canyon s left standng on flat tyres for an extended perod, ths can cause damage to the structure of the tyres. It s therefore better to hang the wheels or the entre bke or to check the tyre pressure regularly. Clean your Canyon and protect t aganst corroson as descrbed above. Dsmount the saddle and allow for any mosture that may have entered to dry away. Spray a lttle fnely atomzed ol nto the seat tube (excepton: carbon frames). Store your Canyon n a dry place. Swtch the gear to the smallest chanrng and the smallest sprocket. Ths relaxes the cables and sprngs as much as possble. Hang your Canyon for an extended storng perod Store the bke wth the chan on outmost sprocket and smallest chanrng Cleanng the Gates belt drve Whle cleanng, look for cracks, scratches, dents as well as bent or dscoloured materal. If you are n doubt, call our servce hotlne at Have defectve components replaced mmedately and touch up pant defects. Keep the brake pads and the rotor free of cleanng agents and chan ol, as the brakes could fal otherwse Keep carbon clampng areas, such as handlebars, stem, seat post and seat tube, free of grease and ol. Remove tough ol or grease stans wth a petroleum-based cleanng agent. Never use degreasng agents contanng acetone, methyl chlorde etc., non-neutral, chemcal or solvent-contanng cleanng agents that could attack the surface Before applyng any hard wax on the frame of your Canyon, be sure to test t n a less vsble spot frst Check the tyre pressure at regular ntervals

30 56 CARE AND INSPECTION SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 57 SERVICING AND INSPECTION Frst servce: A specal mantenance schedule has been developed by our experenced techncans. On the frst klometres/mles, for example, the wheels may be subject to a certan beddng-n process or bowden and brake cables may stretch, makng gear shftng mprecse. Dependng on how much you cycle, the repar of worn-down parts may be necessary already. In ths case you wll be contacted by a servce techncan beforehand. Regular annual servce: Followng a long and challengng season we recommend that you have your bke thoroughly checked. Who could do ths better than those who have bult your bke? The annual servce wll be carred out by our sklled staff accordng to a mantenance schedule talored to your bcycle type. Canyon safety check: If you rde your Canyon less than 1,000 km (620 mles) a year, t requres correspondngly less servcng. In ths case the Canyon safety check s exactly what you need. For ths purpose our specalsts have developed a schedule for ths demand-orented mantenance. Ths schedule ncludes less routnes than an annual servce, however all safety-relevant ssues. We recommend that you have ths check carred out before settng off nto the new bke season or before gong on a bke trp so that you can take off wthout a care. Make an appontment n advance to ensure that your Canyon runs through ths check as quckly as possble. In case you pack your Canyon to send t n to our workshop, you have to observe a few thngs to brng your bke safe and sound to ts destnaton. You wll fnd more nformaton on how to pack your Canyon under Servce at our webste Strctly follow these nstructons, whenever you pack your bke. In partcular lghtweght components may have a reduced servce lfe. For your own safety make sure to have the components lsted n chapter Servce and mantenance schedule checked at the ndcated ntervals and replaced, f necessary. To be able to enjoy your Canyon for many years t needs to be servced regularly. The schedule gven n chapter Servce and mantenance schedule s a rough gude for cyclsts who rde ther bke between 1,500 and 2,500 km (930 and 1,550 mles) a year. If your Canyon does harder servce, ether because your mleage s consstently greater or because you rde a great deal on poor road surfaces or feld and forest tracks, t wll requre correspondngly shorter mantenance perods. Ths ncludes frequent rdes n the ran or generally n most condtons, as well. If a component needs to be replaced, make t a rule to only use orgnal spare parts. You wll fnd numerous servce detals on our webste that wll help you carry out small repar and mantenance works. Never do work on your bcycle unless you feel absolutely sure about t If you are n doubt or f you have any questons, contact our servce hotlne at SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE After the beddng-n perod you need to have your bke servced by an expert at regular ntervals. The ntervals gven n the schedule below are supposed to be gudelnes for cyclsts who cycle around 1,500 to 2,500 klometres (930 to 1,550 mles) a year (around 60 to 100 hours).

32 60 RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES 61 USING THE CANYON TORQUE WRENCH We from Canyon regard the use of a torque wrench as essental so as to ensure that two parts can be fxed together securely and safely. Canyon frame: Bottle cage bolts Replaceable deralleur hanger Canyon seat post clamp: 4.5 Nm 1.5 Nm 3-5 Nm Exceedng the maxmum torque value 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 observe strctly the torque values ndcated by Canyon. Put the matchng bt nto the holder of the Canyon torque wrench. The Canyon torque wrench If your Urban bke has a Wheelguard for fastenng, read chapter How to use the Wheelguard. Use the followng torque values, unless otherwse ndcated by the stem or seat post manufacturer on the component tself or n the respectve assembly nstructons. Stem: M5 bolts M6 bolts Adjustng bolt (on top) wth Ahead stems Nm Nm Nm Torque value Insert the Allen key fully nto the screw head. 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 of the prescrbed torque value.

Ths s best done wth a torque wrench that swtches off as soon as the desred torque value has been reached. Tghten the bolts carefully by approachng the maxmum permssble torque value n small steps. Check the secure seat of the component, as descrbed n the relevant chapters. For parts wthout torque specfcatons, tghten the bolts gradually and check n between whether the component s already fastened suffcently, as descrbed n the relevant chapters. Do not exceed the maxmum torque value. The ponter moves over the scale. Stop the turnng movement as soon as the ponter reaches the number of the prescrbed torque value. Some components have the maxmum permssble torque values prnted on them. Observe these lmt values wherever you fnd them. Assemble your Canyon usng the Canyon torque wrench enclosed wth the Bke- Guard. Some components have the maxmum permssble torque values prnted on them. Observe these lmt values wherever you fnd them.
