Stems for threadless systems, the Aheadset
®
-system
In the case of MERIDA bikes with Aheadset
®
-headsets
the stem also serves to adjust the bearing preload. If you
change the position of the stem you have to readjust the
bearing play (see the chapter “The headset” in your com-
prehensive MERIDA user manual and in the instructions of
the component manufacturers on the enclosed MERIDA
CD-ROM). The vertical setting range is determined by the
intermediate rings, also referred to as spacers
(e)
. In the
case of flip-flop stem models
(f)
the stem can be mount-
ed the other way round to achieve a different handlebar
height.
Ask your MERIDA dealer to explain you both function
and adjustment of your stem or, still better, let him do that
work.
G
In the case of turned stems, it is possible that
the cables are too short. In this case, riding can
be unsafe. If in doubt, ask your MERIDA dealer.
G
When removing spacers the fork steerer tube
must be shortened. This change is irreversible.
The shortening should be carried out by your
MERIDA dealer, but only after you have found your pre-
ferred position.
A
Keep in mind that readjusting the position of
the stem changes the position of handlebars,
brake levers and shifters. Readjust these com-
ponents, as described in the chapter “Adjusting the tilt of
the handlebars and brake levers“.
Correcting the fore-to-aft position and
horizontal tilt of the saddle
The inclination of your upper body
(g)
, and hence your
riding comfort and pedalling power, is also influenced
by the distance between the grips of the handlebars
and the saddle. This distance can be altered slightly
by changing the position of the saddle rails in the seat
post clamp. However, this also influences your pedaling.
Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to
the back of the bike will alter how rearward the pedaling
position of your legs is.
You need to have the saddle horizontal in order to ped-
al in a relaxed manner. If it is tilted, you will constantly
have to lean against the handlebars to prevent yourself
from slipping off the saddle.
G
The bolted connections of the seat post have
to be tightened to the prescribed torque val-
ues
(h)
. Use a torque wrench and never ex-
ceed the maximum torque values! The torque values
are given in the chapter “Recommended torque set-
tings” in these MERIDA short operating instructions as
well as in your comprehensive MERIDA user manual,
directly on the components and/or in the instructions of
the component manufacturers on the enclosed MERIDA
CD-ROM.
