Adjustable stems
There are various solutions for adjusting the tilt of the
front part of adjustable stems:
Some designs use bolts on the sides of the joint
(e)
, oth-
ers have bolts coming from above or below, and others
again are equipped with additional locking mechanisms
or adjusting bolts.
Ask your MERIDA dealer to explain you both function
and adjustment of your stem or, still better, let him do
that work.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the
height of the handlebars” and the instructions of the
component manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-ROM.

Note that the bolted connections of adjustable
stems and handlebars have to be tightened
to their specified torques. If you disregard the
prescribed values, the handlebars or stem may come
loose or break. Use a torque wrench and observe the
minimum and maximum torque values! You will find the
prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque
settings”, directly on the components and/or in the op-
erating instructions of the component manufacturers on
this MERIDA CD-ROM.

Keep in mind that readjusting the position of
the stem changes the position of handlebars,
brake levers and shifters. Readjust these
components, as described in the chapter “Adjusting the
tilt of the handlebars and brake levers“.
Stems for threadless systems, the Aheadset

system
In the case of MERIDA bikes with Aheadset® headsets
the stem also serves to adjust the bearing preload. If you
change the position of the stem you have to readjust
the bearing play (see the chapter “The headset” and
the instructions of the component manufacturers on
this MERIDA CD-ROM). The vertical setting range is de-
termined by the intermediate rings, also referred to as
spacers
(f)
. In the case of flip-flop stem models
(g)
the
stem can be mounted the other way round to achieve a
different handlebar height.
Unscrew the bolt at the top of the fork steerer tube
(h)
which serves to adjust the initial bearing pressure, re-
move the Ahead cap and release the bolts on either side
of the stem by up to three turns. Remove the stem and
spacers from the fork steerer tube. In doing so keep hold
of both frame and fork to prevent the fork from slipping
off the head tube.
You can determine the handlebar height by the arrange-
ment of stem and spacers. Slip the remaining spacers
onto the fork steerer tube above the stem. Adjust the
headset, as described in the chapter “The headset”.
