The bike will be due for its first maintenance
after 100 to 300 kilometres or 3 to 6 weeks.
The running-in phase typically involves
spokes losing tension, cables lengthening,
gears becoming maladjusted, and bearings
running in, so there is every reason to have
your dealer service the bike at this stage. This
maturing process is unavoidable. Therefore
make an appointment with your MERIDA
dealer for a first inspection of your new bike.
The first inspection is very important for the
functioning and durability of your bike.
26. Service and maintenance schedule
It is advisable to have your bike serviced
regularly after the running-in phase. The
schedule given in the table below is a rough
guide for cyclists who ride their bike between
1,000 and 2,000 km a year. If your consist-
ently ride more or if you ride a great deal on
poor road surfaces, the maintenance periods
will shorten accordingly.
The intended use of the bike includes
regular maintenance and the replace
-
ment of worn out parts in time and therefore
has an influence on the warranty as well.
For your own safety, bring your
bike to your MERIDA dealer for its
first inspection after 100 to 300 kilometres
or 3 to 6 weeks, at the very latest however
after three months.
It is advisable to only use original
spare parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer. Wearing parts of other manu-
factuers, e.g. brake pads or tires which are
not of identical dimension, may cause harm
to the safety of your bike - risk of an acci-
dent!
Jobs marked with an “X“ you should be able to do yourself, provided you have a certain degree of manual skill, a little
experience and suitable tools, this including, e.g., a torque wrench. If you come across any defects, take appropriate
measures without delay. Your MERIDA dealer will be pleased to help you, if you have any questions or problems. Jobs
marked with a “D“ are best left to your MERIDA dealer.
