After an accident
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the
drop-outs
(a)
and whether the rims are still centred
with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the wheels
and observe the gap either between brake pads and
rim sides or between frame and tire. If you have rim
brakes and if 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 power-
fully as you are used to. No matter whether you
have rim or disc brakes, have the wheels trued by
your MERIDA dealer immediately after you are back
home. For more information see the chapters “The
brake system”, “How to use quick-releases and
thru axles” and “The wheels and the tires” in these
MERIDA short operating instructions as well as in
your comprehensive MERIDA user manual and in
the instructions of the component manufacturers on
the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent
nor broken and that they are level and upright
(b)
.
Make sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork by try-
ing to turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel
(c)
. Briefly lean on the brake levers to make sure
the handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem. Realign
the components, if necessary, and gently tighten
the bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the com-
ponents. The maximum torque values are printed
directly on the components or specified in the in-
structions of the component manufacturers on the
enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM. For more information
see the chapters “Adjusting the MERIDA bike to the
rider” and “The headset” in these MERIDA short op-
erating instructions as well as in your comprehen-
sive MERIDA user manual and in the instructions
of the component manufacturers on the enclosed
MERIDA CD-ROM.
3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chain-
wheels and the sprockets. If your MERIDA bike fell
over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning
of the gears. Ask somebody to lift your MERIDA
bike by the saddle and carefully shift through all the
gears. Pay particular attention when shifting to the
small gears and make sure the rear derailleur does
not get too close to the spokes
(d+e)
as the chain
climbs onto the larger sprockets. If the rear derailleur
or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear
derailleur may collide with the spokes. This in turn
can destroy the rear derailleur, the rear wheel or the
frame. Check the function of the front derailleur, as
a displaced front derailleur can throw off the chain,
thus interrupting the drive of your MERIDA bike. For
more information see the chapter “The gears” in
these MERIDA short operating instructions as well
as in your comprehensive MERIDA user manual
and in the instructions of the component manufac-
turers on the enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.
