Adjusting the MERIDA bike to the
rider
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the
frame size of your MERIDA bike. Pay particular attention
to the fact that there is enough clearance between your
crotch and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself
when you have to get off your bike quickly.
By choosing a specific type of bike you roughly deter-
mine the posture you will be riding in
(a+b)
. However,
some components of your MERIDA bike are especially
designed so that you can adjust them to your body pro-
portions up to a certain degree. This includes the seat
post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake
levers.
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable
tools and skills, you should restrict yourself to adjusting
your seating position
(c)
. Contact your MERIDA dealer,
if you are not happy with your seating position or if you
want something changed. They will see to your wishes
the next time you leave your MERIDA bike at the work-
shop, e.g. for the first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a
short functional check as described in the chapter “Be-
fore every ride” and do a test ride on your MERIDA bike
in an area free of traffic.

If you have a very small frame, there may be
the danger of your foot colliding with the front
wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are
properly adjusted.
G
All tasks described in the following require
the know-how of a mechanic and appropriate
tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted con-
nections always with greatest attention
(d)
. Increase
the torque values bit by bit and check the fit of the
component in between. Use a torque wrench and never
exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the
prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque
settings”, directly on the components and/or in the op-
erating instructions of the component manufacturers on
this MERIDA CD-ROM.

The seating position depends highly on how
you want to use the MERIDA bike. Ask your
MERIDA dealer or your trainer for help. The
advice given below is suitable for typical MERIDA
cross-country/marathon bikes.

If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble,
e.g. because it numbs your crotch, this may
be due to the saddle. Your MERIDA dealer
has a very wide range of saddles available and will be
pleased to advise you.
