3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true.
If you have disc brakes, watch the gap between
frame and rim or tire and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim. Untrue rims can be an
indication of tires with ruptured sides, broken axles
or spokes.
For more information see the chapter “The wheels
and the tires” and the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the
brake levers towards the handlebars
(a)
. The brake
pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with
their entire surface without touching the tire during
braking, in open condition or in between. Make sure
you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the
handlebars and check the hydraulic brake cables
for leaks! Check the thickness of the brake pads, as
well.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure
point at once. If you have to actuate the brake lever
more than once to get a positive braking response,
have the MERIDA bike checked by your MERIDA
dealer immediately.
For more information see the chapter “The brake
system” and the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
5. Let your MERIDA bike bounce on the ground from
a small height. If there is any rattling, see where it
comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if neces-
sary.
6. In case you have a MERIDA bike with suspension,
press down on your MERIDA bike and see whether
the spring elements retract and extend as usual
(b)
.
For more information see the chapters “Suspen-
sion forks” and “Suspension seat posts” and the
instructions of the component manufacturers on this
MERIDA CD-ROM.
7. If your bike has a kickstand
(c)
, make sure it is fully
raised before you set off. Risk of an accident!
8. Do not forget to take a high quality D-
(d)
or chain
lock with you on your ride. The only way to effec-
tively protect your MERIDA bike against theft is to
lock it to an immovable object.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your
MERIDA bike is equipped according to the applica-
ble regulations of your country
(e)
. Riding without
lights and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very
dangerous because you will be seen too late or not
at all by other road users. A lighting set that corre-
sponds to the regulations is a must on public roads.
Turn on the lights as soon as dusk sets in.
For more information see the chapter “Legal re-
quirements for riding on public roads“.
