Put on your usual riding clothing (including if necessary
a packed rucksack), sit on your bike and bring yourself
into the usual riding position. Lean against a fixed object
(railings, wall etc.) and make sure you do not fall over.
Ask a helper to move the rubber ring or the cable tie
downwards against the dust seal at the lower leg.
Get off your bike so that the fork does not compress any
more. The distance between the rubber ring/cable tie
and the wiper is the negative suspension travel, or sag
(a)
. Compare it against the total suspension travel (as
specified by the manufacturer) to determine whether the
suspension should be set to be harder or softer.
With air suspension forks the spring rate is set by the air
pressure in the fork. The pressure must be set before the
first ride by means of a special high-pressure pump with
pressure gauge
(b)
and modified later as required due to
changes in the weight of the rider and/or load
(c)
.
Note the appropriate setting values and check them
subsequently at regular intervals. Always follow the rec-
ommendations of the manufacturer and never exceed
the maximum air pressure for the suspension fork. Al-
ways make a test ride after each change to the settings.
In the case of most suspension forks with coil springs a
preload can be applied to the springs within tight limits
by turning a knob at the top of the fork crown. If that is
not possible and the desired negative suspension travel
(“sag”) cannot be set, the coil springs must be replaced
by harder or softer models. The replacement is a job for
the MERIDA dealer.
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.
Always make a test ride over terrain with various surfac-
es
(d)
after each change to the settings.
Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable
tie. Its distance from the wiper is the maximum suspen-
sion travel that you have used. If the rubber ring/cable
tie has moved by even a few millimeters, the setting of
the forks is too hard. Reduce the pressure, or, in the case
of coil springs, the spring preload. If that brings no im-
provement, have the springs replaced.
If the rubber ring/cable tie has shifted over the entire
length of the tube or if the fork audibly bottoms out and
hits the top repeatedly when riding off-road or on bad
roads, the setting of the springs is too soft. In the case
of air-suspension forks the pressure must be increased.
In the case of steel coils, have them replaced by your
MERIDA dealer.
