MOUNTING THE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the front wheel from the wheel bag, if
available, and the protective box from the rotor.
Lift the pedelec out of the box.

Make sure the upper and lower clamping slots
between faceplate and stem body are parallel
and identical in width. Release the clamping bolts
once again, if necessary, and re-tighten them
slightly and evenly.
Unscrew the Maxle Ultimate thru axle from the
fork and pull it out completely.
If your pedelec has disc brakes, check before
mounting the wheel, whether the brake pads rest
snugly in their mounts at the brake calliper body.
This is the case, when the gap between the brake
pads is parallel.
Remove the transport lock from the front wheel
brake. For more information on brakes read chap-
ter
“The brake system”
in your detailed type-spe-
cific Canyon bicycle manual; also observe the
manuals of the component manufacturer on the
enclosed CD.
Put the front wheel into the fork and insert the ro-
tor at the same time into the brake calliper. Bring
the front wheel into the right position between
the drop-outs and slide the axle with open Maxle
Ultimate quick-release lever from the right side
through the drop-out and the hub.
Close the thru axle as described under the specific
type.

“How
to use quick-releases and thru axles”
in
your detailed type-specific Canyon bicycle
manual; also observe the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturer on the enclosed CD.
As soon as the axle thread engages with the
thread of the left fork leg, close it by turning it
clockwise. During the first rotations you should
be able to turn the thru axle with little resistance.
Tighten the axle a little and then release it by
about a third of a turn.
Close the Maxle Ultimate thru-axle quick-release
lever like a usual quick-release lever.
From the start of the closing movement up to
about the first half of its travel the lever should
move very easily without clamping the wheel,
whereas over the second half of its travel the
force needed to move it should increase consider-
ably. Towards the end of its travel the lever should
be very hard to move. If you do not succeed in
closing the lever fully, re-open it and turn the axle
a little anticlockwise. Try closing the lever once
again.
Use the palm of your hand while your fingers pull
on an immovable part, such as the fork leg, but
never on a spoke or the rotor.
