Mounting wheels

To mount a wheel follow the reverse procedure of wheel
dismounting. Make sure the wheel is correctly seated
in the drop-outs and accurately centered between the
fork legs or the rear and chainstays. Make sure that the
quick-release and the drop-out catches are correctly
seated

(g)

. For more information see the chapter “How

to use the quick-releases”.

If you have

cantilever brakes

hook up the brake cable at

the brake arm. To do this, grip the rim with one hand and
press the brake pads and/or the brake arms together. In
this position the usually barrel shaped nipple can easily
be engaged.

If you have

disc brakes

, check before mounting the

wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly in their seats
in the brake caliper body. The gaps between the brake
pads and the wheel should be parallel and the wear indi-
cators in their correct position. Make sure that you push
the brake disk between the brake pads. After mounting
the wheel and tightening the quick-release, pull the
brake lever (several times, if you have disc brakes).

If your bike has a

multi-speed hub

,

back-pedal

,

drum

or

roller brakes

, verify the proper assembly of the individ-

ual components and tension the chain before tightening
the wheel nuts by pulling the wheel backwards.

Verify that the amount of play midway between sprock-
ets and chainwheel is not more than two centimeters.
Make sure there is no excessive chain slack!

After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-re-
lease, pull the brake lever (several times, if you have
disc brakes). To do so lift your MERIDA bike off the
ground and spin the wheel with your hand. With the
wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake
caliper or the brake pads and the rim should keep off the
(rim) brake pads.

G

Immediately put back the brake cable of rim

brakes after having mounted the wheel!

G

Remount the brake caliper of hydraulic

rim brakes immediately

(h)

and close the

quick-release! Make sure that the brake

caliper does not touch either the rim or the tire or the

spokes when the wheel turns.

G

Before setting off again check that the brake

surfaces and/or rotors are still free of grease

or other lubricants after the wheel mounting.

G

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”!
