and the instructions of the component manufactur-
ers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
4. Make sure the saddle is not twisted by using the top
tube or the bottom bracket shell as a reference
(a)
.
If necessary, open the clamping, realign the saddle
and retighten the clamping.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting
the MERIDA bike to the rider” and “How to use
quick-releases and thru axles” and the instructions
of the component manufacturers on this MERIDA
CD-ROM.
5. Let your MERIDA bike bounce on the ground from
a small height. If there is any rattling, see where it
comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if neces-
sary.
6. Finally, take a good look at the whole MERIDA bike
(b)
to detect any deformations, color changes or
cracks
(c)
. 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 about the
performance of your MERIDA bike, have yourself
picked up by car, instead of taking any risk.
Back home you need to check your MERIDA bike
thoroughly. Damaged parts must be repaired or re-
placed. Ask your MERIDA dealer for advice.
G
Deformed components, especially compo-
nents made of aluminum, can break without
previous warning. They must not be repaired,
i.e. straightened, as this will not reduce the imminent
risk of breakage. This applies in particular to the fork,
the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and
the pedals. When in doubt, it is for your safety always
the better choice to have these parts replaced. Ask your
MERIDA dealer for advice.
G
If your MERIDA bike is assembled with car-
bon components (d) , it is imperative that you
have it checked by your MERIDA dealer af-
ter an accident or similar incident. Carbon is extreme-
ly strong and durable with very low weight, making it
perfect for the production of high-performance parts.
However, one of the inherent properties of carbon is
that possible overstress may compromise the inner
carbon-fiber structure without showing any visible
deformation, as is the case with steel or aluminum. A
damaged component can fail without previous warning.
Risk of an accident!
A
Make it a rule to check the functioning and in
particular the limit stop of the rear derailleur
after a fall or if your MERIDA bike has toppled
over.
