Tire puncture
Flat tires are the most common cause of puncture during
cycling. However, as long as you have the necessary
tools and a spare tube or a repair kit, this need not mean
the end of your cycle ride. If your wheels are attached
with quick-releases to the frame and the fork, you only
need two tire levers and a pump
(a)
.
I
Before removing a wheel, read the chapters
“Mounting wheels” and “How to use quick-re-
leases and thru axles”. If you are in doubt or
if you have any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
Dismounting wheels
If your bike has mechanical rim brakes (cantilever and
V-brakes) you first have to unhook the brake cable from
the brake arm
(b)
. To do this, grip the rim with one hand
and press the brake pads and/or arms together. In this
position the usually barrel shaped nipple of the lateral
brake cable or the brake hose (of V-brakes) can easily
be disengaged.
If you have disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanic), check
the position of the brake pads through the inspection
window
(c)
. In this way you will be able to tell later
whether the brake pad is still in its proper position. Read
the operating instructions of the brake manufacturer on
this MERIDA CD-ROM.
If you have derailleur gears, you should shift the chain
to the smallest sprocket before removing the rear wheel.
This shifts the rear derailleur right to the outside where
it doesn’t interfere with the removal of the wheel. Open
the quick-release of the wheel, as described in the chap-
ter “How to use quick-releases and thru axles”.
If you cannot remove the front wheel after releasing the
lever, this is due to the drop-out safety tabs. They come
as metal catches which engage with recesses in the
drop-outs. Just release the quick-release adjusting nut
a little and slip the wheel past the tabs. You will find it
easier to remove the rear wheel, when you pull the rear
derailleur slightly backwards
(d)
. Lift your MERIDA bike
a little off the ground and give the wheel a light blow
with your hand so that it drops out.
G
Rotors can become hot, so let them cool
down before removing a wheel.
G
If you purchased a MERIDA bike with hy-
draulic disc brakes, never turn your MERIDA
bike upside down for repair work, i.e. with the
handlebars and saddle underneath, as the brakes will
fail otherwise.
A
Never pull the (disc) brake lever while a
wheel is removed and always make sure that
you fit the safety locks
(e)
before removing
the wheel.
I
Observe the instructions of the brake and gear
manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
