3. Before your first ride
3. Are you familiar with the brake system?
Check whether the lever of the front brake
is in the position you are used to (right or
left). If this is not the case, you will need to
train to get used to it, as inadvertent use
of the front brake can make you crash!
Or ask your MERIDA dealer to switch the
brake levers.
Your new bike is equipped with modern
brakes which may be far more powerful
than those you are used to!
Be sure to first practise using the brakes off
public roads!
You will find more information about
brakes in chapter 9. “The brake system“
and in the brake manufacturers’ manuals
your bike is supplied with.
Please note that your bike’s braking
power and road grip will both be
severely reduced in wet conditions. Look
well ahead when riding on wet roads and
go well below the speed you would ride at
in dry conditions.
4. Are you familiar with the type and func-
tioning of the gears?
If not, make yourself familiar with the
gears in a place free of traffic.
For more information see chapter 10. “The
gears“.
5. Are saddle and handlebars properly
adjusted?
The saddle should be set to a height from
which you can just reach the pedal in
its lowest position with your heel. Check
whether your toes reach to the floor when
you are sitting on the saddle. Your MERIDA
dealer will be pleased to help you, if you
are not happy with your sitting position.
You will find more information on this
in chapter 8. “Adjusting the bike to the
rider“.
6. If your bike is equipped with clipless or
step-in pedals: Have you ever ridden in
the shoes they go with?
First practise locking one shoe onto a
pedal and disengaging it while standing
on the other leg!
For more information see chapter 16. “The
pedals“. You will find more information on
the pedals in the enclosed pedal manual.
7. If you bought a suspension bike, you
should ask your MERIDA dealer to adjust
the suspension mechanism to your needs.
Improperly adjusted spring components
are liable to malfunction or become dam-
aged. In any case, they will impair the
performance of your bike as well as your
safety whilst riding.
You will find more information about this
in chapter 13. “The suspension fork“,
chapter 14. “The suspension seat post“,
chapter 15. “The rear shock“ and in the
enclosed manuals.

5. After an accident
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly
fixed in the drop-outs and whether the
rims are still centered with respect to the
frame or fork. Spin the wheels and watch
the gap between rims and brake pads. If
the width of the gap changes markedly
and you have no way to true the wheel
on site, you will need to open the brakes
a little so that the rim can run between the
brake pads without touching them. In this
case remember that the brakes will not act
as powerfully as you are used to.
For more information see chapter 9. “The
brake system“ and chapter 11. “The
wheels”.
2. Check that the handlebars and stem are
neither bent nor ruptured and whether
they are level and upright. Check also
whether the stem is firmly fixed in the fork
by trying to twist the handlebars relative
to the front wheel. Also, briefly lean on the
brake levers to make sure the handlebars
are firmly fixed in the stem.
For more information see chapter 8.
“Adapting the bike to the rider“ and
chapter 12. “The headset“.
through all the gears. Pay particular atten-
tion when switching to the small gears,
making sure the gear changer does not get
too close to the spokes as the chain climbs
onto the larger sprockets. If the derailleur
or the drop-outs have been bent, this can
cause the gear changer to collide with the
spokes. This in turn can destroy the gear
changer, the rear wheel or the frame!
Check the derailleur function, as a dis-
placed gear changer can throw off the
chain, thus interrupting the power train.
For more information see chapter 10. “The
gears“.
3. Check whether the chain still runs on the
chainwheel and sprockets. If your bike fell
over to the chain side, check that the gears
still work properly. Ask a helper to lift the
bike by the saddle, then gently switch
22
8. Adjusting the bike to the rider
With adjustable conventional stems, the
height of the front stem area is modified by a
mechanism located on the bottom side.
Release the bolt of the locking mechanism
located on the bottom side of the stem until
the ratchet mechanism comes loose. Do not
unscrew it all the way, otherwise the whole
assembly will fall apart.
8.2.3 Stems for threadless systems,
the so-called Aheadset* system
(*Aheadset is a registered trade mark of
the DiaCompe company which invented the
threadless fork tube system).
On bikes with an Aheadset system, the stem
also serves to adjust the initial headset bear-
ing pressure. If you change the position of
the stem, you have to readjust the bearings
(see chapter 12. “The Headset”). The vertical
setting range is determined by the intermedi-
ate rings, also referred to as spacers. In the
case of flip-flop stem models, it is also possi-
ble to mount the stem the other way round to
achieve a different handlebar height.
Release the bolt at the top of the fork tube
which serves to adjust the initial bearing pres-
sure and remove the Ahead cap.
Adjust the stem, which can now be moved,
according to your needs. Gently tighten the
bolt of the locking mechanism again, until it
engages. Then tighten the bolt.
Do not exceed the maximum torque of
10 Nm.
Please note: Changing the position
of the stem alters the position of the
handlebars as well as of the brake and
gear levers. Correct them, if necessary, as
described in chapter 8. “Adjusting the bike
to the rider“.

8. Adjusting the bike to the rider
8.7 Adjusting the bar ends
Bar ends give you additional ways of grip-
ping the handlebars. They are usually fixed in
a position that gives the rider a comfortable
grip when pedalling out of the saddle. There-
fore, they are usually mounted almost parallel
to the ground or tilted slightly upwards.
Release the bolts, which are usually located
on the bottomside of the bar ends, by one to
two complete turns.
Turn the bar ends to the desired position mak-
ing sure that the angle is the same on both
sides.
Retighten the bolts to the required torque.
See whether the bar ends are firmly fixed by
trying to twist them out of position.
Note that the bolted connections of
stem, handlebars, bar ends, and
brakes have to be tightened to their specified
torques. You will find the prescribed values
in chapter 29. “Recommended torques for
bolted connections“ or in the instructions of
the handlebar and bar end manufacturers.
Note that the distance you need to
stop your bike, increases while riding
with the hands on bar ends as the brake
levers are not within reach as long as you
have not changed the position of your
hands.
Keep in mind that not all handlebars
are suitable for being equipped with
bar ends. Ask your dealer for help.

8.9 Adjusting the tilt of the handlebars
and brake levers on road,
triathlon and cyclocross bikes
Road handlebars
With road bikes, the straight extension below
the drops should be parallel to the ground
or point slightly down towards the rear. The
tips of the brake levers should coincide with
an imaginary straight line extending forward
from the lower edge of the straight extension
below the drops. Shifting the brake levers is
a job best left to your MERIDA dealer, as it
involves retaping the handlebars afterwards.
To adjust the tilt of the handlebars, release the
Allen bolt/s on the underside or front side of
the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired
position. Make sure the handlebars are accu-
rately centred in the stem.
Now carefully tighten the bolt/s with a torque
wrench. Try twisting the handlebars inside the
stem tube and tighten the bolt a little more, if
necessary.
8. Adjusting the bike to the rider
Note that the bolted connections of the
stem and aero handlebars have to be
tightened to the prescribed torques. You will
find the values in chapter 29. “Recommend-
ed torques for bolted connections“, in the
enclosed manuals or on the components.

9.6.2 Adjustment possibilities at the lever
To adjust the brakes at the lever, release the
knurled lock ring located at the point where
the brake cable enters the brake lever on
the handlebars. Release the knurled, slotted
adjusting bolt by a few turns. In this way
you shorten the free travel of the brake lever.
Keeping the adjusting bolt fixed, tighten the
lock ring against the brake lever mount. This
prevents the adjusting bolt from coming loose
by itself.
Ensure that the slot of the bolt faces neither
forward nor upward, as this would permit
water or dirt to enter.
9.6.3 Adjustment possibilities at the brake
pads and bowden cables
Another possibility to adjust the brake is by
means of an adjusting bolt located at the front
brake. Release in this area the knurled nut
of the bolt through which the cable passes,
unscrew the adjusting bolt by a few turns and
finish by retightening the knurled nut relative
to the brake arm.
9. The brake system
The adjustment of the rear brake can be
performed in the same way. In addition, the
rear brake cable which is running along the
bottom of the frame tube can be adjusted by
means of another adjusting bolt. Release the
lock nut at the cable holder and unscrew the
adjusting bolt by a few turns. Then retighten
the lock nut in order to avoid a coming loose
of the adjusting bolt by itself.
Test the brake in standing after adjust-
ing it. Make sure the brake pads
engage fully with the rim when you pull
them hard.
