Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
torque values given 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 en-
closed MERIDA CD-ROM.
Adjusting the brake lever reach on MERIDA city,
MERIDA trekking, MERIDA cross, MERIDA kids’ and
MERIDA mountain bikes
With most brake systems the distance between the
brake levers and the handlebar grips is adjustable. This
gives in particular riders with small hands
(a+b)
the
convenience of bringing the brake levers closer to the
handlebars. On most bikes there is a small adjusting
screw near the point where the brake cable of a cable
brake enters the brake lever unit or at the lever itself.
Turn this bolt clockwise
(c)
and watch how the lever ad-
justs as you do so.
Hydraulic brakes are also fitted with adjusting devices
at the brake lever. There are different systems. Ask your
MERIDA dealer for advice or read the instructions of the
component manufacturers on the enclosed MERIDA
CD-ROM.
When adjusting the lever reach, make sure the first pha-
lanx of the index finger reaches around the brake lever.
Check the proper adjustment and functioning of the
brake system subsequently, as described in the chapter
“The brake system” 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.

Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers
all the way to the handlebars. Your maxi-
mum braking force should be reached short
of this point.

In the case of hydraulic brakes and disc
brakes follow the instructions of the brake
manufacturer, which you can find on the en-
closed MERIDA CD-ROM. If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
Adjusting the tilt of the handlebars and brake levers
of MERIDA city, MERIDA trekking, MERIDA cross,
MERIDA kids’ and MERIDA mountain bikes
The handlebars are usually slightly bent at the ends. Set
the handlebars to a position in which your wrists are re-
laxed and not turned outwards too much
(d)
.
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the bottom or front side of the
stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired position. Make
sure the handlebars are accurately centered in the stem.
Carefully retighten the bolt(s) with the torque wrench.
Make sure the upper and lower clamping slots of the
stem are parallel and identical in width. If you have a
stem with several bolts, tighten them evenly in a cross
pattern by using a torque wrench and observe the rec-
ommended torque values.
