After an accident

1. Check whether the wheels are still ﬁrmly ﬁxed in the

drop-outs

(a)

and whether the rims are still centred

with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the wheels

and observe the gap either between brake pads and

rim sides or between frame and tire. If you have rim

brakes and if the width of the gap changes mark-

edly and you have no way to true the rim where

you are, you need to open the brakes a little with

the special device so that the rim can run between

the brake pads without touching them. Please note

that in this case the brakes may not act as power-

fully as you are used to. No matter whether you

have rim or disc brakes, have the wheels trued by

your MERIDA dealer immediately after you are back

home. For more information see the chapters “The

brake system”, “How to use quick-releases and

thru axles” and “The wheels and the tires” in these

MERIDA short operating instructions as well as in

your comprehensive MERIDA user manual and in

the instructions of the component manufacturers on

the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.

2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent

nor broken and that they are level and upright

(b)

Make sure the stem is ﬁrmly ﬁxed on the fork by try-

ing to turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel

(c)

. Brieﬂy lean on the brake levers to make sure

the handlebars are ﬁrmly ﬁxed in the stem. Realign

the components, if necessary, and gently tighten

the bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the com-

ponents. The maximum torque values are printed

directly on the components or speciﬁed in the in-

structions of the component manufacturers on the

enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM. For more information

see the chapters “Adjusting the MERIDA bike to the

rider” and “The headset” in these MERIDA short op-

erating 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.

3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chain-

wheels and the sprockets. If your MERIDA bike fell

over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning

of the gears. Ask somebody to lift your MERIDA

bike by the saddle and carefully shift through all the

gears. Pay particular attention when shifting to the

small gears and make sure the rear derailleur does

not get too close to the spokes

(d+e)

as the chain

climbs onto the larger sprockets. If the rear derailleur

or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear

derailleur may collide with the spokes. This in turn

can destroy the rear derailleur, the rear wheel or the

frame. Check the function of the front derailleur, as

a displaced front derailleur can throw off the chain,

thus interrupting the drive of your MERIDA bike. For

more information see the chapter “The gears” in

these MERIDA short operating instructions as well

as in your comprehensive MERIDA user manual

and in the instructions of the component manufac-

turers on the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.
