Conventional stems
Handlebars with conventional stems allow limited ver-
tical adjustment. This is done by moving the stem up or
down inside the fork steerer tube.
Release the expander bolt by two to three complete
turns. The stem should now turn freely inside the fork.
If it does not, release the bolt by tapping it gently with a
rubber hammer
(e)
. With Allen bolts you need to stick
the Allen key into its head first, as it is normally counter-
sunk and therefore impossible to be hit directly.
Now you can move the handlebar/stem unit up and
down as a whole. Be sure not to pull out the stem too far.
The mark on the stem (end, min, max, stop, limit or the
like) should always remain within the tube
(f)
. Setting
the stem to a lower position can only add to your safety!
Realign the handlebars with the front wheel
(g)
. Retight-
en the expander bolt with a torque wrench.
Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maxi-
mum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm increments)
and check the proper fit of the component in between.
Never exceed the maximum torque value indicated by
the manufacturer! 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.
Check the seat of the stem by taking the front wheel be-
tween your legs and trying to turn the handlebars and
stem relative to the wheel
(h)
. If there is movement, you
have to increase the torque value. If the handlebars are
still too high or too low, you can replace the stem. This
can be quite a big job, as it may mean taking off and
remounting all the fittings on the handlebars. Ask your
MERIDA dealer for advice about the different types of
stems.
G Never ride a MERIDA bike with a stem that
has been drawn out beyond the mark for the
maximum permissible height! Check all bolt-
ed connections and test your brakes before you set off
in an area free of traffic!
a
Never try to unscrew the top race of the head-
set when you only want to adjust the stem, as
you will otherwise alter the bearing play!
