A Tighten carefully by approaching the pre-
scribed maximum torque value in small steps
(0.5 Nm increments) and check the proper fit
of the component in between. Never exceed the maxi-
mum torque value indicated by the manufacturer!
I Children and adolescents need to have the
saddle height and the position of saddle and
handlebars checked at least every three
months!
Adjusting the height of the handlebars
The height of the handlebars compared to the saddle
and the distance between saddle and handlebars deter-
mines how much your upper body will be inclined for-
ward. Lowering the handlebars gives you a streamlined
position and brings more weight to bear on the front
wheel. However, it also entails an extremely forward
leaning posture which is tiring and less comfortable, be-
cause it increases the strain on your wrists, arms, back,
upper body and neck.
There are three different stem systems that allow verti-
cal adjustment of the handlebars, i.e. the conventional,
the adjustable and the Aheadset®-stem. These systems
require special knowledge. In this regard, the descrip-
tions hereafter may be incomplete. If you are in doubt or
if you have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
G The stem
(a)
is one of the load bearing parts
of your MERIDA bike. Changes to it can im-
pair your safety. If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer!
G These routines require a certain amount of
manual skill and (special) tools. Ask your
MERIDA dealer to explain you both function
and adjustment of your stem or let him do that work.
G The bolted connections of stem and handle-
bars have to be tightened to the prescribed
torque values. If you disregard the prescribed
values, the handlebars or stem may come loose or
break. Use a torque wrench
(b)
and never exceed the
maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed
values in the chapter “Recommended torque settings”,
directly on the components and/or in the operating
instructions of the component manufacturers on this
MERIDA CD-ROM.
G Stems come in very different lengths
(c)
and
shaft and binder tube diameters
(d)
. A stem
of inappropriate dimension can become a
source of danger: Handlebars or stems can break, re-
sulting in an accident. When replacing any parts, be
sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark
and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts. Your
MERIDA dealer will be pleased to help you.
A Make sure the handlebar/stem combination
is approved by the handlebar and/or stem
manufacturer.
A Make sure the handlebar clamping area is
free of sharp edges.
