Rear shocks
Full suspension MERIDA pedelecs
(a)
are not only
equipped with a suspension fork but also with mov-
able rear stays which are sprung and damped by a
rear shock. This feature gives you better control of
your MERIDA pedelec when riding cross-country or
on rough road surfaces. The (shock) loads on you and
your MERIDA pedelec are noticeably reduced. The rear
shock normally works with an air spring element or –
less frequently – with coil springs. Damping is usually
done by oil.
To work perfectly, the rear shock has to be adjusted to
the weight of the rider, the sitting posture and the in-
tended use
(b)
. Be sure to have this adjustment carried
out by your MERIDA dealer at the time of delivery.
For more information see the chapter “Rear shocks” in
your comprehensive MERIDA user manual as well as in
the instructions of the rear shock manufacturers.
G The rear shock should be set up and adjust-
ed in a way that it does not reach the end of
its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme
cases. A spring rate which is too soft (too low air pres-
sure) can usually be heard or felt as a “clunk” type
noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete
compression of the rear shock as it reaches bottom
out. If the rear shock frequently reaches bottom out, it
will sustain damage over time, and so will the frame.
G
A too strong damping of the rear frame can
result in a sluggish rebound movement with
a rear shock that will not recover when ex-
posed to a quick series of impacts. Risk of a fall!
G Do not turn any bolt and particularly not by
using tools in the hope that it is an adjusting
device. You could be loosening the fastening
mechanism, thus causing an accident. All manufac-
turers normally mark adjustment devices with a scale
or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder suspension)
and“-“ signs
(c)
.
G Due to their design full suspension frames
are able and/or must absorb shocks. If
the rear shock is too rigid and blocked the
shocks are introduced directly into the frame without
any damping. This could damage the rear shock itself
as well as the frame. If your rear shock has a lockout
mechanism
(d)
do not activate the lockout function
when riding in rough terrain but only when riding over
smooth terrain (roads, field tracks).
I Rear shock manufacturers normally supply
instructions. Read them carefully before
changing any settings or doing any mainte-
nance work on your rear shock.

nance is also available on the internet at
