When mounting a new rear tire, make sure
there is enough clearance between tire and
frame as the rear frame compresses entire-
ly. If necessary, deflate the rear shock completely and
press the saddle forcefully downward to check this.
This can block the rear wheel. Risk of an accident!
A
Do not ride your bike, when the rear shock
bottoms out. This could damage the rear
shock itself as well as the frame. The spring
rate should always be adjusted to the weight of the rider
and the baggage as well as to the riding conditions.
I
Contact your MERIDA dealer or follow the re-
spective instructions in the operating instruc-
tions of the rear shock manufacturer on this
MERIDA CD-ROM.
Lockout
When taking long uphill rides involving hard pedaling out
of the saddle, a rear shock is typically bobbing. It is advis-
able to lock the damping, if the rear shock has a lockout
mechanism. For downhill rides on uneven ground the
lockout mechanism must be open stringently.
a
Do not actuate the lockout function when
riding over rough terrain
(a)
, but only when
riding over smooth terrain (such as roads or
field tracks)
(b)
.
Maintenance
Rear shocks and rear frames are components of so-
phisticated design that require regular maintenance and
care. This has led almost all rear shock manufacturers to
establish service centers where you can have your rear
shocks thoroughly checked and overhauled at regular
intervals according to use, e.g. once a year.
The following routines are essential for maintenance:
1. Make sure the sliding surfaces of the piston rod are
absolutely clean.
2. Clean the rear shock and rear frame, in particular
the bearings, with plenty of water and a soft sponge
(c+d)
after every ride or when they are soiled.
3. After washing your MERIDA bike, spray the piston
rod of the rear shock and the bearing areas with a lit-
tle grease spray or apply a very thin film of hydraulic
oil. Compress the rear shock several times and wipe
off excess lubricant with a clean rag before you set
off for your next ride. Be sure to use the lubricant
recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Do not use a steam jet or aggressive cleaning agents
for cleaning! Ask your MERIDA dealer for an appro-
priate cleaning agent.
