If you want to turn the stem around, you have to also
release the front bolts securing the handlebars
(a)
. If the
stem is fitted with a cap, you can simply take out the
handlebars at this point. If it is not fitted with a cap, you
have to remove the handlebar fittings.
Mount the handlebars and, if necessary, the handlebar
fittings, as described in the chapter “Adjusting the tilt of
the handlebars and brake levers” and/or in the instruc-
tions of the component manufacturers on this MERIDA
CD-ROM.
Check whether the handlebars are firmly seated in the
stem by trying to rotate the handlebars downwards
(b)
.
Verify whether the handlebar/stem unit can be twisted
relative to the fork. Do this by taking the front wheel be-
tween your knees and trying to twist the handlebars.
If there is movement, carefully tighten the bolts a little
more and check again the proper fit
(c)
.
Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maxi-
mum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm increments)
and check the proper fit of the component in between.
Never exceed the maximum torque value indicated by
the manufacturer!
Ask your MERIDA dealer to explain you both function
and adjustment of your stem or, still better, let him do
that work.

In the case of turned stems, it is possible that
the cables are too short. In this case riding
can be unsafe. If in doubt, ask your MERIDA
dealer.
G
When removing spacers the fork steerer tube
must be shortened. This change is irrevers-
ible. The shortening should be carried out
by your MERIDA dealer, but only after you have found
your preferred position.
A
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“.
Correcting the fore-to-aft position and
horizontal tilt of the saddle
The inclination of your upper body
(d)
, and hence your
riding comfort and pedaling power, are also influenced
by the distance between the grips of the handlebars
and the saddle. This distance can be altered slightly
by changing the position of the saddle rails in the seat
post clamp. However, this also influences your pedaling.
Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to
the back of the bike will alter how rearward the pedaling
position of your legs is.
You need to have the saddle horizontal in order to ped-
al in a relaxed manner. If it is tilted, you will constantly
have to lean against the handlebars to prevent yourself
from slipping off the saddle.
