Tightening torque
i
With steerer tubes made of carbon (black-
coloured) tighten the stem with a maxi-
mum torque of 6 Nm.
All bolted connections on the components
of your Canyon have to be tightened care-
fully and checked regularly to ensure the safe
operation of your bike. This is best done with a
torque wrench that switches off as soon as the
desired torque has been reached. Tighten the
bolts carefully by approaching the maximum per-
missible torque in small steps. Check the secure
seat of the component, as described in the rele-
vant chapters. For parts without torque specifica-
tions, tighten the bolts gradually and check in be-
tween whether the component is already fastened
sufficiently, as described in the relevant chapters.
Do not exceed the maximum torque.
i
Some components are directly marked
with the necessary tightening torque.
Strictly observe the torques given on the labels or
imprints.

Also read the enclosed manuals of the
component manufacturers, if necessary,
