In any case be sure to read the chapter “How
to use quick-releases and thru axles” in your
comprehensive MERIDA user manual and in
the instructions of the suspension fork, thru axle and
wheel manufacturers on the enclosed MERIDA CD-
ROM before removing the wheel or doing any main-
tenance work and mounting a fork/wheel combination
with thru-axle system.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your MERIDA dealer.
G
Improperly mounted wheels may throw you
off your bike or result in serious accidents!
Ask your MERIDA dealer to show you how to
handle the thru-axle type you have.
A
To mount the axle only use the tools recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Use a torque
wrench whenever possible. Tighten carefully
by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value
in small steps (0.5 Nm increments) and check the prop-
er fit of the component in between. Never exceed the
maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer!
A too tight fixing of the axle can damage the axle or
the fork leg.
Adjusting the MERIDA bike to the
rider
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the
frame size of your MERIDA bike. Make particularly sure
there is enough space between your crotch and the top
tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get
off your bike quickly
(a)
.
By choosing a specific type of bike you roughly deter-
mine the posture you will be riding in
(b+c)
. However,
some components of your MERIDA bike are especially
designed so that you can adjust them to your body pro-
portions up to a certain degree. This includes the seat
post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake
grips or brake levers/shifters.
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable
tools and skills, you should restrict yourself to adjust-
ing your seating position. Contact your MERIDA dealer,
if you are not happy with your seating position or if you
want something changed. They will see to your wishes
the next time you leave your MERIDA bike at the work-
shop, e.g. for the first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a
short functional check as described in the chapter “Be-
fore every ride” and do a test ride on your MERIDA bike
in an area free of traffic
