Checking and readjusting
The derailleur gears of your bike were carefully adjust-
ed by your MERIDA dealer before delivery. However,
Bowden cables may stretch a little over the first kilome-
ters, making gear shifting imprecise and the chain rattle.
Adjusting the front and rear derailleur
(d)
accurately is a
job only for an experienced mechanic. If you want to try
to do the adjustment on your own, observe in addition
the operating instructions of the gear manufacturer on
this MERIDA CD-ROM. Contact your MERIDA dealer if
you have any problems with the gears.
I For your own safety, bring your MERIDA bike
to your MERIDA bike dealer for its first in-
spection after 100 to 300 kilometers, 5 to 15
hours of initial use or four to six weeks, and at the very
latest after three months.
Adjusting the rear derailleur
Increase the tension of the Bowden cable by turning the
adjustable cable stop at the shifter lever or the adjusting
bolt through which it runs into the rear derailleur
(e)
. To
do so, shift to the smallest sprocket and turn the bolts
counterclockwise in half turns until the cable is slight-
ly tensioned. After tensioning the Bowden cable check
whether the chain immediately climbs onto the next
larger sprocket. To find out you either have to turn the
cranks by hand
(f)
or ride the MERIDA bike and shift
through the gears.
If the chain easily climbs onto the next larger sprocket,
check whether it just as easily shifts to the small sprock-
ets. If it does not, release the respective adjusting bolt a
little. You may need several tries.
A Adjusting the front and rear derailleur accu-
rately is a job for an experienced mechanic.
Observe in any case the operating instruc-
tions of the gear manufacturer on this MERIDA CD-
ROM. If you have any problems with the gears, contact
your MERIDA dealer.
I Ask a helper to lift the rear wheel. By turning
the cranks and shifting through you can eas-
ily check the function.
Adjusting the limit stops
The rear derailleur is equipped with limit screws
(g)
which limit the movement range of the derailleur, thus
preventing the derailleur and chain from colliding with
the spokes or the chain from dropping off the smallest
sprocket. The limit screws are adjusted by your MERIDA
dealer. They do not alter their position during normal
use.
If necessary, correct the position by means of the limit
screws. The limit screws on rear derailleurs are often
marked “H” for high gear and “L” for low gear. “High
gear” means that the chain is running on the smallest
sprocket. Turn the screw clockwise to shift the rear de-
railleur towards the wheel and counterclockwise to shift
it away from the wheel.
