After an accident

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

drop-outs

(e)

and whether the rims are still centered

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 the width of the gap changes markedly

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 powerfully as you

are used to.

No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes,

have the wheels trued by your MERIDA dealer im-

mediately after you are back home.

For more information see the chapters “The brake

system”, “How to use quick-releases and thru ax-

les” and “The wheels and the tires” as well as in the

instructions of the component manufacturers on this

MERIDA CD-ROM.

2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent

nor broken and that they are level and upright. Make

sure the stem is ﬁrmly ﬁxed on the fork by trying to

turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel

(f)

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

components

(g)

. The maximum torque values are

printed directly on the components or speciﬁed in

the instructions of the component manufacturers on

this MERIDA CD-ROM.

For more information see the chapters “Adjusting

the MERIDA bike to the rider” and “The headset”

and the instructions of the component manufactur-

ers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.

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

wheels and the sprockets

(h)

. If your MERIDA bike

fell over to the chain side, verify the proper function-

ing of the gears. Ask somebody to lift your MERIDA

bike by the saddle and carefully shift through all the

gears. Pay particular attention when switching to

the small gears, making sure the rear derailleur does

not get too close to the spokes 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 derail-

leur, 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.
