How to fasten components securely with a quick-
release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read
“Open“
(e)
on the lever. Make sure the component to be
fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the
MERIDA bike to the rider” and “The wheels and the
tires” and the instructions of the component manufac-
turers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be
able to read ”Close“
(f)
on the outside of the lever. When
you start closing the lever you should feel virtually no re-
sistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle
to the frame/fork.
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you
feel should increase significantly and towards the end
even more strength is required to close the lever. Use the
ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immov-
able part, such as the fork
(g) or a rear stay, but not on a
brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle
to the quick-release axle
(h) , i.e. it should not stick out.
The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork so that
it cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however,
that the lever is easy to handle for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply
pressure to the end of the hand lever and try to turn it
while it is closed. If you can turn the lever around, open
it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut
on the opposite side clockwise by half a turn. Close the
quick-release lever and check it again for tightness.
Finally lift the pedelec a few centimeters, so that the
wheel no longer touches the ground, and hit the tire
from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will re-
main firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork
without producing any rattling.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mech-
anism, check whether the saddle is firmly fixed by trying
to twist it relative to the frame.

To be on the safe side you can replace the
quick-releases by special locks. They can
only be opened and closed with a special,
coded key or an Allen key. If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
