6. If you have bought a MERIDA bike with suspension
(f+g)
, you should ask your MERIDA dealer to adjust
the suspension mechanism to your needs before de-
livery. Improperly adjusted suspension components
are liable to malfunction or damage. In any case
they will impair the performance of your pedelec as
well as your safety and joy whilst riding.
For more information see the chapters “Suspension
forks” and “Rear shocks” and the instructions of
the component manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-
ROM.
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop
your pedelec increases, when you are riding
with your hands on bar ends or on multi-posi-
tion handlebars. The brake levers are not always within
easy reach.
G
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals
or too much spring tension in the mecha-
nism can lead to a very firm connection, from
which you cannot quickly step out! Risk of an accident!
G
Pay particular attention to the fact that there
is enough clearance between your crotch and
the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself
when you have to get off your bike quickly.
G
Note that both braking effect and tire grip can
be reduced drastically in wet conditions. Look
well ahead when riding on wet roads and go
well below the speed you would ride at in dry condi-
tions.
G
Be sure to use your MERIDA bike only for its
intended purpose, as it may otherwise not
withstand the stress and fail. Risk of an ac-
cident!
G
Due to the specific intended use, some
MERIDA dirt bikes (h) are fitted with only one
brake. There is, however, always a second
brake supplied which can be mounted, if necessary. Do
not ride these MERIDA bikes on public roads, but only
on enclosed terrain.
G
In case you had a crash with your MERIDA
bike, perform at least the check described in
the chapter “Before every ride“. Ride back
very carefully by taking the shortest route possible,
even if your MERIDA bike went through this check
without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard
and do not ride your bike out of the saddle. If you are in
doubt, have yourself picked up by car, instead of taking
any risk. Back home you need to check your MERIDA
bike thoroughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer!
