Therefore, if you notice that the braking effect deterio-
rates, stop and let the brake system cool down. Some-
times, it will be enough to operate the front and rear
brake in an alternating pattern. If that will not suffice,
stop for a couple of minutes before you set off again.
G Brake cables which are damaged, e.g. frayed,
must be replaced immediately, as they can
otherwise fail in a critical moment, possibly
causing a crash!
G If during braking the travel of the brake lever
increases, unusual noises occur and/or the
braking effect is clearly more or less effective
than usual, do not ride your bike. In such a case contact
your MERIDA dealer immediately.
G Check regularly whether the torque support
is firmly attached to the frame or fork. Use a
torque wrench and never exceed the maxi-
mum torque values!
Checking and readjusting back-pedal brakes
The chain tension of bikes with back-pedal brakes has
to be checked and adjusted, if necessary, after approx.
1,000 km or 50 hours of use. For more details read the
chapter “Chain - Care and wear”.
G Keep in mind that the back-pedal brake is in-
effective if the chain has jumped off. Risk of
an accident!
The gears
Derailleur gears
The gears of your MERIDA bike
(a-c)
serve to adjust the
gear ratio to the terrain you are riding on and the desired
speed.
A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the
chain runs on the small chainwheel and a large sprock-
et) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate ped-
aling force. You must, however, pedal at a faster pace.
High gears (large chainwheel, small sprocket) are for
riding downhill. Every turn of the pedals takes you many
meters forward at correspondingly high speed.
G Continue pedaling at reduced cadence during
gear shifting, however, at clearly reduced
pedaling force. In particular when shifting
through the chainwheels continue pedaling slowly and
without force.
H With MERIDA pedelecs reduce the cadence
and the pedaling force shortly before you
start shifting. In doing so there is a short inter-
ruption of the drive. If you continue pedaling, the high
chain forces could result in a chain failure.
A Practice shifting gears in a place free of traffic
until you are familiar with the functioning of
the levers or twist grips of your MERIDA bike.
