If the saddle rails fit into the clamp grooves, slide the
saddle on the seat post and ensure that the clamp is po-
sitioned midway along the total length of the rails
(a)
.
Position the saddle so that its upper surface is parallel
to the ground. Tighten the bolt gradually and make sure
1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on
the carbon seat post head and
2) the clamp is tightening evenly around each rail.
Once there is uniform hold on both rails, tighten the
bolt gradually with a torque wrench
(b)
until you have
reached the maximum torque value indicated in Newton
meters (Nm) on the seat post.
G
Check the bolts by using a torque wrench
once a month according to the values indicat-
ed directly on the components and/or in the
operating instructions of the component manufacturers
on the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.

Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail.

In particular, riders with small hands should ask their
MERIDA dealer to adjust the brake lever position
(c)
, i.e.
the position where the brake starts to be effective, to the
length of the rider’s fingers immediately on purchase.
Some models of various brands allow an adjustment at
the brake lever/shifter, e.g. by means of adjusting bolts
or spacers
(d)
. In the case of the other models the brake
cables are clamped according to your wishes at the
brake bodies. Adjusting bolts located in this area only
serve to compensate brake pad wear.
Have the lever reach adjusted and make sure the first
phalanx of the index finger reaches around the brake
lever/shifter. Check the proper adjustment and function-
ing of the brake system subsequently, as described in
the chapter “The brake system” in these MERIDA short
operating instructions as well as in your comprehen-
sive MERIDA user manual and in the instructions of the
component manufacturers on the enclosed MERIDA
CD-ROM.
I
Some manufacturers offer brake levers/
shifters which are suitable for small hands. If
you have any problems with the brake lever
reach, contact your MERIDA dealer.
