Welcome 3 Dear Canyon Customer, Please note: These additional instructions cannot teach you all the mechanical skills of a bicycle mechanic. Even a manual as big as an encyclopaedia could not describe every possible combination of available bicycles and components.
Intended use 5 Notes on these operating instructions Intended use Time trial and triathlon bikes are only intended for use on roads and lanes with a smooth surface, e.g. asphalted or paved. Any usage on field tracks and off-road can cause a failure of the bicycle. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLS: Please note that the aforementioned consequences will not be repeated each time the symbols appear in the manual.
Assembly from the BikeGuard Assembly from the bikeguard 7 EN 6 Assembly from the bikeguard CHECK THE CONTENTS OF THE BIKEGUARD UNPACKING The BikeGuard contains the assembled frame with all add-on parts as well as the wheels that are sometimes packed in wheel bags, the saddle and a box with small parts, e.g. quickreleases, reflectors and pedals, as the case may be. Remove the padding (cardboard boxes), if there is any, and take out of the BikeGuard the wheels that are sometimes packed in wheel bags.
ASSEMBLY OF THE SPEEDMAX CF Assembly from the bikeguard 9 MOUNTING THE SADDLE USING A TORQUE WRENCH Your Canyon Speedmax CF had been fully assembled at the factory and given a test run. The bicycle should be fully functional without any further adjustments being made once the assembly steps explained below have been completed. The following section gives you a concise description of the assembly.
Assembly from the bikeguard 11 HANDLEBAR MOUNTING Pull the seat post out again. Insert the built-in seat post clamp. Apply a little Canyon assembly paste to the bottom part of the seat post and inside the seat tube. Slide the seat post into the seat tube to the desired saddle height. Measure the saddle height of your previous bicycle from the middle of the bottom bracket up to the top edge of the saddle in the middle of the saddle. Then transfer the saddle height to your new Canyon Speedmax CF.
Assembly from the bikeguard 13 EN 12 Assembly from the bikeguard WHEEL MOUNTING Rear wheel mounting Position the handlebars so that they are centred on the stem and that the four holes for the clamping bolts line up. Ensure that the Bowden cables and shifter cables do not get twisted or kinked, that they have smooth radii and are not pinched between the handlebars and the stem. Bring the cables into the stem without any kinking.
Assembly from the bikeguard 15 Front wheel mounting Remove the protective film from both chainstays as well as the tape at the drop-out, if applicable. It is recommended that you remove the protective material in general by hand. If that is not possible, it is best to use scissors, and if it is really necessary, use a box cutter. If a tyre cannot be pushed through the brake pads without using considerable force, then let most of the air out of the tyre.
Assembly from the bikeguard 17 MOUNTING THE PEDALS The quick-release lever is mounted to the left side, i.e. opposite the chain drive. Read up on quick-releases in the chapter “How to use the quick-release” in your bicycle manual road bike. The brakes have been optimised aerodynamically and therefore do not have a release lever. They cannot be opened. Let most of the air out of the tyre if necessary.
Screw each pedal manually into the thread of its crank by two to three full turns. Continue by using a pedal spanner to tighten the pedals firmly. Assembly from the bikeguard 19 Fix the white reflector to the handlebars and the red reflector to the seat post as well as the spoke reflectors to the spokes. Some types of pedal have to be tightened with an Allen key. Check the reliable fit of the pedals after about 100 km (60 miles).
Special features of triathlon and time trial machines 21 EN 20 Assembly from the bikeguard Special features of triathlon and time trial machines Your Speedmax CF is equipped with special aerobars for triathlons and time trials, where an especially aerodynamic seating position is required. Adjust the position of the saddle and handlebars and check that the handlebars, grips and seat post are securely fastened, as described in the chapter “Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider”.
Special features of carbon wheels You only need to gently push control buttons with the shift levers with Di2 at the ends of the extensions in triathlons and time trials. Shift to the bigger sprockets with the upper control button. Press the lower control button to shift to the smaller sprockets. As carbon wheels are made of carbon fibrereinforced plastic they come with particular aerodynamic properties and a low weight.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 25 EN 24 Special features of carbon wheels Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider The brake surfaces of the carbon rims are sensitive to heat. Therefore avoid any drag braking when you are riding in the mountains. Riding downhill with a permanently activated rear wheel brake may heat up the material and result in deformation.
Align the handlebars such that you still have your Canyon Speedmax CF fully under control even in critical riding situations and can operate the steering and the brakes at all times without any restrictions. Check this by carrying out an exhaustive test ride in a place free of traffic or on a quiet road. Sit on the saddle and put one heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg must be fully stretched in this position. Ensure that your hips remain straight when doing this.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 29 EN 28 Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider Fore-to-aft-position and saddle tilt The fore-and-aft position of the saddle can be adjusted individually over a wide range. Four adjustment options are available for this: Shifting the saddle rails in the saddle clamping head Clamping the saddle rails via the front or rear clamping slide holes Shifting the saddle slide horizontally in the slotted hole of the seat post.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 31 Adjusting the height of the handlebars If the adjustment range is still not sufficient, then fully undo all the Allen bolts. Remove the saddle slide from the seat post, turn it round by 180° and put it back in again. As a further option, the saddle clamping bolts can optionally be tightened up in the front or rear clamping slide holes at the saddle clamping head.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 33 EN 32 Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider (I) L-Bend (II) Straight (III) S-Bend Straight extensions (II) are offered as an accessory. These components can also be combined in other ways to achieve an optimal seating position. Contact our service hotline at +44 (0) 208 5496001. The triathlon stem can be set higher by up to 4 cm by installing additional spacers (compared to the stem without spacers). One spacer is mounted as standard.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 35 Adjusting extensions and armrests Do the clamping bolts up to the prescribed tightening torque of 5 Nm. Ensure that the Bowden cables and shifter cables do not get twisted or kinked, that they have smooth radii and are not pinched between the handlebars and the stem.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 37 EN 36 Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider Ensure the correct use of the bolts and threaded sleeves of various lengths and that in each case two connecting rings are inserted between the spacers. Check that the extensions sit correctly in their clamps. The rubber stoppers with the hole for the shifter cable should be flush at the rear, then the extensions are pushed to the rear until they come up against the stop.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 39 EN 38 Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider Replacing extensions The armrests can be mounted lengthways in four different positions and sideways in three different positions. Make sure that the armrests are correctly and firmly fixed. Make a test ride to check the seating position. Place the reinforcing plate underneath the armrest.
Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider 41 EN 40 Adjusting the Canyon Speedmax CF to the rider Shortening L-bend extensions Once you have found your final seating position, it may be necessary to shorten the Lbend extensions. Mark the place at which you wish to saw off the L-bend extensions. Orient yourself towards the printed scale. Never saw off more than beyond the line “End of cutting area”. Do not blow away the chips and dust produced by sawing.
The brake system 43 Adjusting the trail of the fork Due to the innovative Rake Shift inserts in the forks the trail and hence also the riding behaviour can be modified to suit the wishes of the rider. In total, three positions are available to choose from (front and rear) by replacing and turning around the asymmetric drop-outs from left to right.
The brake system 45 EN 44 The brake system Front brake Remove the front wheel to check the brake. Release the clamping bolts of the Brakebooster and remove the Brakebooster. Caution: the front brake is now only held loosely in the brake bosses. Then tighten up again the clamping bolts of the Brakebooster. Correct the position of the cable carrier as required with the aid of the associated cable adjuster that is located underneath the stem cover. The triangle must be adjusted like this.
The brake system 47 EN 46 The brake system If the pads cannot be set correctly, then they are worn and must be replaced by new brake pads (from Canyon!). In order to replace the pads together with the holders or to install other spacers, including bolts, for another type of wheel, remove the two stoppers from the fork blades. Mount the new brake pad together with the holder and the spacer and bolt in the same order and alignment that you removed them previously.
The brake system 49 Synchronising the front brake Operate the front brake several times while the bike is in the stand and then check the clearance between the brake pads and the rim. If the clearance differs, turn back the setscrews for synchronisation in the fork blades until they are flush on the outside. From this starting position you may screw in the setscrews by a maximum of five turns.
The brake system 51 EN 50 The brake system Correct the position of the cable carrier as required with the aid of the associated cable adjuster that is located underneath the stem cover. Once the position of the cable carrier is correct, the spring can be put back. Check whether the pads have an air gap of around 1 to 1.5 mm on each side of the Canyon Brake Adjuster. If the pads cannot be set correctly, then they are worn and must be replaced by new brake pads (from Canyon!).
The headset 53 EN 52 The brake system Synchronising the rear brake Notes on replacing the wheels The headset Operate the rear brake several times while the bike is in the stand and then check the clearance between the brake pads and the rim. If the clearance differs, turn back the setscrew for synchronisation in the brake arm whose brake pad has the greater clearance from the rim far enough until both brake pads have the same clearance from the rim.
