28.2.3 Assembling and equipping a
MERIDA frame
MERIDA frames are also delivered bare for
individual assembly. Please note that assem-
bling a bike is a job for a skilled mechanic.
Mistakes or inappropriate assembly may
make the bike unsafe. We therefore strongly
recommend that your MERIDA dealer carries
out all assembly work.
Frames are delivered ready for mounting, i.e.
with threads cut and bearing seats and seat
tube faced. Further finishing work is normally
not necessary. Contact your MERIDA dealer,
if problems occur nevertheless.
Do not modify the frame or functional parts,
e.g. adjustable cable guides, by filing, drill-
ing or such like.
All components (except for carbon seat posts
and stems on carbon fork steerer tubes) have
to be mounted to the frame coated with high-
grade grease to inhibit corrosion. Otherwise,
you will possibly no longer be able to disas-
semble your bike again after some time.
Never grease the clamping area of
the stem and steerer tube of a full
carbon fork and the seat tube of the frame,
if you are using a carbon seat post. With
MERIDA carbon road race frames which
have NO aluminium insert inside the upper
end of the seat tube, it is definitely NOT
ALLOWED to grease the carbon seat tube,
whatever kind of seat post is used. Grease
would penetrate the surface of the carbon
material, reducing the coefficient of fric-
tion and hence impairing the stability of the
clamping joint within the permitted torques.
Greased carbon may never again afford a
safe clamping joint.
Do not clamp the frame to the mounting stand
at the frame tubes! This can damage the thin-
walled carbon tubes. First mount a sturdy
aluminium seat post to the frame. Clamp only
this seat post in the work stand to secure the
frameset.
Specific types of workstands suitable for car-
bon frames are available in specialist shops.
28.2 MERIDA framesets
Road racing framesets include matching
forks. For the assembly of carbon forks, see
the notes in chapter 28.3 “Carbon forks”.
