Improperly closed fastenings, e.g. quick-re-

leases, can cause parts of your MERIDA road

bike to come loose. This can result in a seri-

ous accident!

Be aware that the distance you need to stop

your bike increases, when you are riding with

your hands on aero or triathlon handlebars

(a)

. The brake levers are not always within easy reach.

Do not use your MERIDA road bike, if it fails

at one of these points! A defective MERIDA

road bike can lead to serious accidents! If you

are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your

MERIDA dealer.

During use your MERIDA road bike is un-

dergoing stress resulting from the surface of

the road and from the rider’s action. Due to

these dynamic loads, the different parts of your bike

react with wear and fatigue. Please check your MERIDA

road bike regularly for wear marks, scratches

(b)

, defor-

mations, color changes and any indication of cracking.

Components which have reached the end of their ser-

vice life may break without previous warning. Let your

MERIDA dealer maintain and service your MERIDA

road bike regularly. In cases of doubt it is always best to

replace components.

After an accident

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

drop-outs

(c)

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

(d)

or between frame and tire. If you have

rim brakes and 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 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 the

instructions of the component manufacturers on this

MERIDA CD-ROM.
