G Suspension forks
(e+f)
are designed in a way
to absorb shocks. If the fork is too rigid and
jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass di-
rectly into the frame without any damping. The frame
is normally not designed to withstand such undamped
stresses. If your suspension has a lockout mechanism,
do not activate the lockout function when riding in
rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth terrain
(roads, field tracks).
A The suspension fork should be set up and
adjusted in a way that it does not reach the
end of its travel, i.e. bottoms out, unless in
extreme cases. A spring rate which is too soft (too low
air pressure) can usually be heard or felt as a “clunk”
type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden com-
plete compression of the suspension fork as it reaches
bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently reaches
bottom out, it will fail over time, and so will the frame.
I In case of inquiries, contact your MERIDA
dealer or follow the respective instructions in
the operating instructions of the suspension
fork manufacturer on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
Adjusting the damping
The damping is adjusted by valves inside. When the
oil is forced through these valves this slows down the
speed with which the suspension fork is extended or
compressed and prevents the suspension from “bounc-
ing” after hitting an obstacle. This is how the reaction to
obstacles can be optimized.
Suspension forks with adjustable rebound damping
(g+h)
have an adjusting knob (mostly red) to slow down
or accelerate the rebound movement. If a second (most-
ly blue) knob is available, the compression speed can be
set and/or the lockout function can be activated.
Start the setting with a completely open damping (re-
bound and compression on “-“). Take hold of the handle-
bars with both hands and pull the front brake. Lean with
your entire weight on the fork and remove your weight
immediately. The fork will extract at the same speed as
you made it compress.
Turn the red adjusting knob in the direction “+” until you
hear a click. Compress the fork once again with the front
wheel brake pulled and the remove the weight abrupt-
ly once again. You will note that the fork extends more
slowly.
