Before every ride
Your MERIDA bike has undergone numerous tests
during production and a final check has been carried out
by your MERIDA dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to check
the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that
may be due to the transport of your MERIDA bike or to
changes a third person may have performed on your
MERIDA bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers (a) , thru-axles or nuts
of the front and rear wheel, the seat post and other
components properly closed?
For more information see the chapter “How to use
quick-releases and thru axles” and the instructions
of the component manufacturers on this MERIDA
CD-ROM.
2. Are the tires in good condition and do they have suf-
ficient pressure
(b)
? A higher pressure gives a better
riding stability and reduces the risk of a puncture.
The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or
PSI) is indicated on the tire side.
For more information see the chapter “The wheels
and the tires” and the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true.
If you have disc brakes, watch the gap between
frame and rim or tire and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim. Untrue rims can be an
indication of tires with ruptured sides, broken axles
or spokes.
For more information see the chapter “The wheels
and the tires” and the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the
brake levers towards the handlebars (c) . The brake
pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with
their entire surface without touching the tire during
braking, in open condition or in between. Make sure
you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the
handlebars and check the hydraulic brake cables
for leaks! Check the thickness of the brake pads, as
well.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure
point at once. If you have to actuate the brake lever
more than once to get a positive braking response,
have the MERIDA bike checked by your MERIDA
dealer immediately.
For more information see the chapter “The brake
system” and the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
