Transporting baggage
There are various ways of carrying baggage on your
MERIDA bike. Your choice will primarily depend on the
weight and volume of the baggage and on the bike you
want to use. Using a rucksack
(a)
is a convenient way of
transporting baggage on a bike.
You can also use pannier racks or handlebar bags, but
some mountain bike models do not allow the mounting
of these accessories. If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
Some hardtail mountain bikes can be fitted with pannier
racks
(b)
. Ask your MERIDA dealer for the fixing points
and suitable pannier racks.
In general, we recommend that you do not fasten any
baggage to suspension forks.
It is advisable to carry baggage in stable pannier bags
with a very low center of gravity. When buying bags,
make sure they are watertight so that your belongings
are protected and you will not have any unpleasant sur-
prises after the first rain shower.
G
Do not overload your MERIDA bike. Follow
the details given in the table in the chapter
“Intended use” and observe the maximum
permissible load printed or imprinted on the pannier
rack.
G
Adjust the suspension fork
(c)
and the tire
pressure
(d)
to the additional load.
G
Baggage generally changes the riding char-
acteristics of your MERIDA bike and increas-
es your stopping distance! Therefore, practice
riding a loaded bike in a place free of traffic.
H
Please contact your MERIDA dealer before
attaching pannier bags to your MERIDA
pedelec.
