ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Before mounting the pedals, check the marking
on the pedal axles rst. “R” stands for right pedal
and “L” for le pedal. Note that the le pedal has
a le‑handed thread that has to be tightened con‑
trary to the direction you are accustomed to, i.e.
anticlockwise.
Apply a little grease on the pedal threads before
screwing in the pedals.
MOUNTING THE PEDALS
Front wheel mounting
Remove the transport locks, if available, from the
disc brake. Put the front wheel into the fork and
insert the rotor at the same time into the brake
calliper. Align the front wheel between the drop‑
outs and slide the thru axle from the le side
through the drop‑out and the hub. Turn the thru
axle by hand a few turns clockwise.
You nd more details in the chapter
“The wheels” in your bicycle manual
road bike.
When the axle thread engages with the thread
of the right fork blade, continue turning the thru
axle clockwise. During the rst turns the thru axle
should be able to turn easily. Tighten the axle by
using a Canyon torque wrench to a torque wrench
of 15Nm.
Aer you have mounted the front wheel and
closed the thru axle, pull the brake lever. Release
the brake lever. Li the bicycle o the ground and
spin the front wheel subsequently with your hand.
The rotor should not drag along the brake calliper
or the brake pads.
Check the reliable t of the pedals once
again aer 100km (60 miles). The ped‑
als can come loose, destroy the thread which
could result in a fall. Also check the reliable t
of the other bolts according to the prescribed
torque values.
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 rmly.
Some pedal types have to be tightened with an
Allen key.
Aer you have mounted the rear wheel and
closed the thru axle, pull the brake lever. Release
the brake lever. Li the bicycle o the ground and
spin the rear wheel subsequently by turning the
crank a few turns by hand. This allows the chain
to position properly on a sprocket of the cassette.
Make sure the rotor does not drag along the brake
calliper and the brake pads.
Aer having mounted the wheels, do a
brake test in standing. The brake levers
must have a pressure point; make sure you
cannot pull the lever all the way to the handle‑
bar.
