Repeat the compression and the release by continuous-
ly turning the rebound damping. You will get a feeling for
the working of the rebound damping.
The typical setting of the rebound damping is an exten-
sion of the suspension components at reduced speed,
however not at a sluggish pace. A rebound movement
at reduced speed ending up in a sluggish movement is a
definitely too high damping.
Ride over an obstacle (e.g. down a kerb) subsequently
and turn the rebound damping in small steps towards
the “+” setting. You have found the proper rebound set-
ting when the suspension fork does not cycle more than
once. Always check a changed adjustment during a test
ride in the terrain
(a+b)
.
If you do not trust the setting of the damping or if prob-
lems occur with it, contact your MERIDA dealer or fol-
low the corresponding operating instructions of the sus-
pension fork manufacturer, which you can find on this
MERIDA CD-ROM.

A too strong damping (rebound damping) of
the fork can result in the fact that the fork no
longer extends when riding over a quick se-
ries of obstacles. Risk of an accident!
G
Do not turn any screws by using tools in the
vague hope of adjusting them somehow. You
could be loosening the fastening mechanism,
thus provoking an accident. Normally, the adjustment
devices are operated with the fingers and are marked
by all manufacturers with a scale or with “+” (for stron-
ger damping/harder suspension) and “-“ signs.

When mounting a new front tire, make sure
there is enough clearance between tire and
fork crown as the fork compresses entirely. If
necessary, deflate the suspension fork completely and
press the handlebars forcefully downward to check this
(c)
. This can block the front wheel. Risk of an accident!
A
Do not ride your bike, when the suspension
fork bottoms out. This could damage the sus-
pension fork itself as well as the frame. The
spring rate should always be adjusted to the weight of
the rider and the baggage as well as to the riding con-
ditions.

Contact your MERIDA dealer or follow the re-
spective instructions in the operating instruc-
tions of the suspension fork manufacturer on
this MERIDA CD-ROM.
