Try rotating the handlebars once clamped in the stem
and tighten the bolt a little more, if necessary
(e)
. Use a
torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque
values! You find them directly on the components and/
or in the instructions of the component manufacturers
on the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM. If the handlebars are
not tight with the prescribed torque value, use carbon
assembly paste.
After adjusting the handlebars you need to adjust the
brake lever/shifter units. Release the Allen bolt at either
unit. Turn the levers relative to the handlebars. Sit in the
saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight
line with the line of your forearm
(f)
. Retighten the units
with a torque wrench and do a twist test! The brake le-
vers need not be absolutely tight. In case of a fall it is an
advantage when the brake levers can be turned.
G
Tighten the bolts at the stem until the clamp-
ing slots between the stem body and the
faceplate are parallel and identical in width
at the top and at the bottom (g) . Tighten the bolts even-
ly and in a cross pattern, i.e. alternately and gradually,
to the lower value of the recommended torque values
using a torque wrench.
G
Note that the bolted connections of stem,
handlebars, bar ends and brakes have to be
tightened to their specified torques. Use a
torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque
values! The torque values are given in the chapter “Rec-
ommended torque settings” in these MERIDA short op-
erating instructions as well as in your comprehensive
MERIDA user manual, directly on the components and/
or in the instructions of the component manufacturers
on the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.
Bar ends and multi-position handlebars give you addi-
tional ways of gripping the handlebars.
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop
your bike increases, when you are riding with
your hands on bar ends (h) or on multi-posi-
tion handlebars. The brake levers are not always within
easy reach.
G
Never fix bar ends in vertical position or
with their ends pointing rearwards as this
would increase the risk of injury in the event
of an accident.
A
If you want to mount multi-position handle-
bars or bar ends to the aluminum handle-
bars of your MERIDA bike, inform yourself in
advance whether these components are permitted on
your MERIDA bike. Contact your MERIDA dealer before
mounting, if necessary.
