After an accident
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the
drop-outs
(e)
and whether the rims are still centered
with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the wheels
and observe the gap either between brake pads and
rim sides or between frame and tire. If you have rim
brakes and the width of the gap changes markedly
and you have no way to true the rim where you are,
you need to open the brakes a little with the special
device so that the rim can run between the brake
pads without touching them. Please note that in this
case the brakes may not act as powerfully as you
are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes,
have the wheels trued by your MERIDA dealer im-
mediately after you are back home.
For more information see the chapters “The brake
system”, “How to use quick-releases and thru ax-
les” and “The wheels and the tires” as well as in the
instructions of the component manufacturers on this
MERIDA CD-ROM.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent
nor broken and that they are level and upright. Make
sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork by trying to
turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel
(f)
.
Briefly lean on the brake levers to make sure the
handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently
tighten the bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the
components
(g)
. The maximum torque values are
printed directly on the components or specified in
the instructions of the component manufacturers on
this MERIDA CD-ROM.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting
the MERIDA bike to the rider” and “The headset”
and the instructions of the component manufactur-
ers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chain-
wheels and the sprockets
(h)
. If your MERIDA bike
fell over to the chain side, verify the proper function-
ing of the gears. Ask somebody to lift your MERIDA
bike by the saddle and carefully shift through all the
gears. Pay particular attention when switching to
the small gears, making sure the rear derailleur does
not get too close to the spokes as the chain climbs
onto the larger sprockets.
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur
hanger is bent, the rear derailleur may collide with
the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear derail-
leur, the rear wheel or the frame. Check the function
of the front derailleur, as a displaced front derailleur
can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of
your MERIDA bike.
