If your MERIDA bike has tipped over or the
rear derailleur received a blow, the rear de-
railleur or its mount, also referred to as the
derailleur hanger, might be bent. It is advisable to check
its range of movement and readjust the limit screws (e) ,
if necessary, after such an incident or after mounting a
new rear wheel on your bike.

Be sure to do a test ride in an unfrequented
place after adjusting the gears.

Let your MERIDA dealer maintain and service
your MERIDA bike regularly.
Adjusting the front derailleur
The range within which the front derailleur keeps the
chain on the chainwheel without itself touching the
chain is very small. The movement range is reduced in
the same way as with the rear derailleur, i.e. by turning
the limit screws
(f) marked “H“ and “L“. The limit screws
are adjusted by your MERIDA dealer. They do not alter
their position during normal use.
As with the rear derailleur, the cable of the front derail-
leur
(g)
is subject to lengthening which leads to a re-
duced precision in gear changing. If necessary, shift to
the small chainwheel and increase the tension of the
Bowden cable by turning the adjusting bolt through
which it passes at the entry to the gear shifter
(h)
.
G
Always check after an accident whether the
guide plates of the front derailleur are still
parallel to the chainwheels. Make sure they
do not touch the large chainwheel which would block
the drive. Risk of an accident!
G
Adjusting the front derailleur is a very deli-
cate job. Improper adjustment can cause the
chain to jump off, thus interrupting the power
train. This can cause an accident!
