Correcting the fore-to-aft position and

horizontal tilt of the saddle

The inclination of your upper body

(a)

, and hence your

riding comfort and pedaling power, are 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 saddle rails on the seat post.

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. Use a torque wrench and never exceed

the maximum torque values! You ﬁnd them in the

chapter “Recommended torque settings” in this trans-

lation of the original MERIDA operating instructions as

well as in your comprehensive MERIDA user manual,

directly on the components and/or in the instructions

of the component manufacturers.

G Make sure the saddle is clamped within the

range of the marking

(b)

on the saddle rail.

Otherwise the saddle rail can fail! Check the

bolts by using a torque wrench once a month accord-

ing to the prescribed values.

G The setting range of the saddle is very small.

Replacing the stem allows you to make far

bigger adjustments to the rider’s fore-to-aft

position, as there are stems in different lengths. In do-

ing so you may achieve differences of plus/minus 2

centimeters. In this case you would usually have to

adjust the length of the Bowden and brake cables – a

job best left to your MERIDA dealer!

I The manufacturers of saddles deliver their

products with detailed manuals. Read them

carefully before adjusting the position of

your saddle. If you are in doubt or if you have any

questions contact your MERIDA dealer.

Adjusting saddle position and tilt

With patent seat posts

(c)

one central Allen bolt se-

cures the clamping mechanism which controls the tilt

and the horizontal position of the saddle. Some seat

posts have two bolts side-by-side.

Release the bolt(s) at the top of the seat post. Release

the bolt(s) two to three turns counterclockwise at the

most, otherwise the whole assembly can come apart.

Move the saddle forth or back, as desired. You may

have to give the saddle a light blow to make it move.

Observe the markings on the saddle rail and do not go

beyond.
