Check whether the tire is properly seated by inspecting
the fine witness line on the tire just above the rim edge.
This line should be even to the rim all around the tire.
Starting from the maximum tire pressure you can now
reduce the pressure through the valve to suit your needs.
Please observe the recommended tire pressure range.

Tubeless tires may only be mounted on a
UST rim or wheel (Mavic and other manufac-
turers).
Mounting wheels
To mount a wheel follow the reverse procedure of wheel
dismounting. Make sure the wheel is correctly seat-
ed in the drop-outs and accurately centered between
the fork legs
(a)
or the rear and chainstays. Make sure
the quick-release
(b)
and the drop-out safety tabs are
correctly seated. For more information see the chapter
“How to use quick-releases and thru axles”.
If you have cantilever brakes hook up the brake cable
at the brake arm
(c)
. To do this, grip the rim with one
hand and press the brake pads and/or the brake arms
together. In this position the usually barrel shaped nipple
can easily be engaged.
If you have disc brakes, check before mounting the
wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly in their seats
in the brake caliper body. The gaps between the brake
pads and the wheel should be parallel and the wear in-
dicators in their correct position.
Make sure that you push the brake disk between the
brake pads. After mounting the wheel and tightening the
quick-release, pull the brake lever (several times, if you
have disc brakes).
If your bike has a multi-speed hub, verify the proper as-
sembly of the individual components and tension the
chain before tightening the wheel nuts by pulling the
wheel backwards. Verify that the amount of play mid-
way between sprockets and chainwheel is not more
than two centimeters. Make sure there is no excessive
chain slack!
After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-re-
lease, pull the brake lever (several times, if you have
disc brakes)
(d)
. To do so lift your MERIDA bike off the
ground and spin the wheel with your hand. With the
wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake
caliper or the brake pads and the rim should keep off the
(rim) brake pads.
G
Immediately put back the brake cable of rim
brakes after having mounted the wheel!
