Always make sure changing gears makes as
little noise as possible and is absolutely jerk
free.
A
Make yourself familiar with the operation of
your gears in a place free of traffic and prac-
tice operating the shifters or the twist grips
as well as the brake system, before using your bike on
public roads.
I
There are some multi-speed hubs where the
effects of the back-pedal brake depend from
the selected gear. Read the gear manufac-
turer’s operating instructions on this MERIDA CD-ROM
carefully and make yourself familiar with the brake
function before using your bike on public roads.
I
Removing and mounting the wheels is not the
same as with derailleur gears. With this fact
in mind read the chapter “Tire puncture” and
observe the notes given in the operating instructions of
the manufacturer on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
Checking, readjusting and servicing
Multi-speed hubs require only little maintenance and
need not be adjusted very often. Check the chain ten-
sion, in particular when removing and mounting wheels,
and read the chapter “Chain - Care and wear”.
If the indexed gear change does not work trouble-free,
then contact your MERIDA dealer.
Adjusting multi-speed hubs
Shift into the fourth (4th) gear. Look from above at the
right-hand side of the hub
(a+b)
. There you can see two
yellow markings. These two markings must be at the
same height, i.e. they must produce a line.
Turn the adjusting screw at the shifter
(c)
until you get
just one single line.
G
Regularly check the reliable fit of the bolted
connection of the hub and, if necessary, of
the torque arm at the frame.

Shimano recommends for example regu-
lar maintenance (oil change) every 5,000
km or every two years. Read the operating
instructions of the gear manufacturer on this MERIDA
CD-ROM or contact your MERIDA dealer.
I
Observe the operating instructions of the gear
manufacturer on this MERIDA CD-ROM. If
you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your MERIDA dealer.
