In the case of other models, changing the suspension
travel does not result in a modified spring characteristic.
The rear shock provides an identical comfort of suspen-
sion with a however clearly reduced suspension travel.
In the case of full suspension rear frames this is typically
done by screwing off segments on which the rear shock
is mounted or by loosing or readjusting screws. Retight-
en the bolts subsequently to the required torque.
A
Do not ride with reduced suspension travel in
rough terrain and in particular not downhill!
I
For more information on readjusting the
suspension travel, see the operating instruc-
tions of the rear shock 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 rear shock is extended or compressed
and prevents the suspension “bouncing” after hitting an
obstacle. This is how the reaction to obstacles can be
optimized.
Rear shocks with adjustable rebound damping
(a)
have
an adjusting knob (mostly red) to slow down or acceler-
ate the rebound movement.
If a second (mostly blue) knob is available, the compres-
sion speed can be set and/or the lockout function
(b)
can be activated.
Start the setting with a completely open damping (re-
bound and compression on “-“)
(c)
. Hold the saddle with
both hands. Lean with your entire weight on the saddle
and remove your weight immediately. The rear shock
will extract at the same speed as you made it compress.
Turn the red adjusting knob in the direction “+“
(d)
until
you hear a click. Press the saddle downwards and re-
move the weight abruptly once again. You will note that
the rear shock extends more slowly.
Repeat the compression and the release by continuous-
ly turning the rebound damping. You will get a feeling for
the working of the rebound damping.
The typical setting of the rebound damping is an exten-
sion of the suspension components at reduced speed,
however not at a sluggish pace. A rebound movement
at reduced speed ending up in a sluggish movement is a
definitely too high damping.
