Remount the brake caliper of hydraulic rim
brakes immediately and close the quick-re-
lease! Make sure that the brake caliper does
not touch either the rim or the tire or the spokes when
the wheel turns.

Before setting off again check that the brake
surfaces and/or rotors are still free of grease
or other lubricants after the wheel mounting.

Check whether the brake pads hit the ro-
tors or brake surfaces of the rims. Check the
seating of the wheel attachment. Always do
a brake test as described in the chapter “Before every
ride”!
Special characteristics of carbon
Special characteristics of components made of car-
bon-fiber-reinforced plastics, also referred to as carbon
or CRP, need to be taken into account.
Carbon (e) is an extremely strong material which com-
bines high resistance with low weight. After overstress,
however, carbon components, unlike metal parts, do not
necessarily show durable or visible deformation even
though some of the fibers may be damaged.
It is very dangerous to continue using the carbon com-
ponent after an impact or undue stress, as it may fail
without previous warning thereby causing an accident
with unforeseeable consequences. For this reason we
recommend that you have the component, or to be cer-
tain, the entire MERIDA bike checked by your MERIDA
dealer after every incident, such as e.g. a crash.
Replace a damaged component
(f-h)
at once! Prevent
further use by taking appropriate measures, e.g. saw the
component into pieces. Damaged carbon frames can
possibly be repaired. Contact your MERIDA dealer.
