If you face any problems during the test, contact your
MERIDA dealer.

Adjusting the headset requires a certain
amount of experience and should therefore
be left to your MERIDA dealer.
Threadless headsets – Aheadset
®
This headset system is characterized by the fact that the
stem is not in the fork steerer tube but clamps it from
outside. Hence the stem is an important constituent part
of the headset, clamping it therefore also sets the adjust-
ment. You generally only need one or two Allen keys
and a torque wrench to adjust an Aheadset
®
.
Release the clamping bolt(s) located on the side of the
stem by one to two turns
(a)
. Gently tighten the counter-
sunk adjusting bolt on top a little, e.g. by a quarter turn
(b)
, by using an Allen key.
Align the stem so that the handlebars are not slanted.
Make sure the front wheel is in line with the top tube and
the stem. Tighten up the stem clamping screws. 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 com-
ponents and/or in the operating instructions of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
Check the headset for play as described above
(c)
. Take
care not to tighten the bearing too much, as this could
easily destroy it.
G
Bear in mind that by overtightening the bolts
the stem can crush the steerer tube. In par-
ticular, models with a carbon fork steerer
tube react very sensitively to overloading as a result
of overtightening the shaft clamp at the stem. Risk of
breakage! Make sure the clamping area is absolutely
free of grease when any of the clamping faces is made
of carbon. If, necessary, use carbon assembly paste in
the clamping areas to ensure maximum clamping.
G
Check the secure seat of the stem by taking
the front wheel between your legs and trying
to turn the handlebars and stem relative to
the wheel
(d)
. A loose stem can cause bad accidents.
G
Never change the preloading mechanism in
the inside of the fork steerer tube. Never in-
stall a star nut in carbon fork steerer tubes.
A
Do not overtighten the upper bolt, it only
serves to adjust the headset play.
I
There can be several reasons why the bear-
ings cannot be adjusted. If you are not abso-
lutely sure, ask your MERIDA dealer for help.
