Adjustable stems

There are various solutions for adjusting the tilt of the

front part of adjustable stems:

Some designs use bolts on the sides of the joint

(e)

, oth-

ers have bolts coming from above or below, and others

again are equipped with additional locking mechanisms

or adjusting bolts.

Ask your MERIDA dealer to explain you both function

and adjustment of your stem or, still better, let him do

that work.

For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the

height of the handlebars” and the instructions of the

component manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.

Note that the bolted connections of adjustable

stems and handlebars have to be tightened

to their speciﬁed torques. If you disregard the

prescribed values, the handlebars or stem may come

loose or break. Use a torque wrench and observe the

minimum and maximum torque values! You will ﬁnd the

prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque

settings”, directly on the components and/or in the op-

erating instructions of the component manufacturers on

this MERIDA CD-ROM.

Keep in mind that readjusting the position of

the stem changes the position of handlebars,

brake levers and shifters. Readjust these

components, as described in the chapter “Adjusting the

tilt of the handlebars and brake levers“.

Stems for threadless systems, the Aheadset

system

In the case of MERIDA bikes with Aheadset® headsets

the stem also serves to adjust the bearing preload. If you

change the position of the stem you have to readjust

the bearing play (see the chapter “The headset” and

the instructions of the component manufacturers on

this MERIDA CD-ROM). The vertical setting range is de-

termined by the intermediate rings, also referred to as

spacers

(f)

. In the case of ﬂip-ﬂop stem models

(g)

the

stem can be mounted the other way round to achieve a

different handlebar height.

Unscrew the bolt at the top of the fork steerer tube

(h)

which serves to adjust the initial bearing pressure, re-

move the Ahead cap and release the bolts on either side

of the stem by up to three turns. Remove the stem and

spacers from the fork steerer tube. In doing so keep hold

of both frame and fork to prevent the fork from slipping

off the head tube.

You can determine the handlebar height by the arrange-

ment of stem and spacers. Slip the remaining spacers

onto the fork steerer tube above the stem. Adjust the

headset, as described in the chapter “The headset”.
