Sheltering and storing the bike
If you regularly look after your bike during
the season, you will not need to take any spe-
cial precautions when storing it for a short
time, apart from securing it against theft. It
is advisable to store the bike in a dry and
airy place.
There are some things to bear in mind when
putting the bike away for the winter:
Inflated tubes tend to gradually lose air when
the bike is not used for a long time. If the bike
is left standing on flat tires for an extended
period, this can cause damage to the struc-
ture of the tires. It is therefore better to hang
the bike or else to check the tire pressure
regularly.
Clean the bike and protect it against corro-
sion as described above.
25. Storing the bike
Take off the seat post and allow for any
moisture that may have entered to dry away.
Spray a little finely atomized oil into the seat
tube (except if you have a carbon frame or a
carbon seat post).
Store the bike in a dry place.
Switch the gear to the smallest chainwheel
and the smallest sprocket. This relaxes the
cables and springs as much as possible. Keep
in mind that with Nexave gears the spring of
the rear derailleur is relaxed, when the chain
rests on the biggest sprocket.
Keep cleaning agents and chain oil
clear of the brake pads and brake
surfaces of the rim! This could impair the
functioning of the brakes and cause an acci-
dent!
There is usually hardly any waiting
time at MERIDA dealers during the
winter months. What is more, many deal-
ers offer annual checks at a special price.
Use the off-season to take your bike to your
MERIDA dealer for inspection!
