How to use quick-releases and
thru axles
Quick-releases
Most MERIDA bikes are fitted with quick-releases to en-
sure fast adjustments, assembly and disassembly. Be
sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight before
you set off on your MERIDA bike. Quick-releases should
be handled with greatest care, as they affect your safety
directly.
Practice the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any
accidents.
Quick-release mechanisms essentially consist of two
operative elements:
1. The hand lever
(a)
on one side of the hub which cre-
ates a clamping force via a cam when you close it.
2. The tightening nut
(b)
on the other side of the
hub with which the preload on the threaded rod
(quick-release axle) is set.
G Do not touch the brake disc directly after hav-
ing stopped, e.g. after a long down-hill ride,
you may burn your fingers! Always let the
brake disc cool down before opening the quick-release.
G Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-re-
leases are always on the side opposite to
the chain
(c)
. This will help you to avoid
mounting the front wheel accidentally the wrong way
round. In the case of MERIDA bikes with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be rea-
sonable to mount both quick-releases with the lever on
the side of the chain drive. This helps you not to come
into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you
from having your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if
you have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
G Never ride your MERIDA bike without having
checked first, whether the wheels are secure-
ly fastened
(d)
. With an insufficiently closed
quick-release the wheel can come loose, thus creating
a serious risk of accident!
A If your MERIDA bike is equipped with
quick-releases, be sure to lock the frame
to an immovable object together with the
wheels when you leave it outside.
How to fasten components securely with a quick-
release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read
“Open“
(e)
on the lever. Make sure the component to be
fastened is in the accurate position.

MERIDA bike to the rider” and “The wheels and the
tires” in these MERIDA short operating instructions as
