The gears
Derailleur gears
The gears
(e+f)
of your MERIDA bike serve to adjust the
gear ratio to the terrain you are riding on and the desired
speed.
A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the
chain runs on the small chainwheel and a large sprock-
et) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate ped-
aling force. You must, however, pedal at a faster pace.
High gears (large chainwheel, small sprocket) are for
riding downhill. Every turn of the pedals takes you many
meters forward at correspondingly high speed.
U
MERIDA pedelecs have only one chainwheel
(g)
. As a consequence there is no front de-
railleur and no shifter on the left handlebars.
G
Continue pedaling at reduced cadence during
gear shifting, however, at clearly reduced
pedaling force. In particular when shifting
through the chainwheels continue pedaling slowly and
without force.
H
With MERIDA pedelecs reduce the cadence
and the pedaling force shortly before you
start shifting. In doing so there is a short inter-
ruption of the drive. If you continue pedaling, the high
chain forces could result in a chain failure.
A
Practice shifting gears in a place free of traffic
(h)
until you are familiar with the functioning
of the levers or twist grips of your MERIDA
bike.
I
Read the gear manufacturer’s operating in-
structions on this MERIDA CD-ROM carefully
and practice shifting gears until you are fa-
miliar with it before you set off for the first time.
Functioning and operation
Derailleur gears always work according to the following
principle:
Large front chainwheel
– heavy gear – bigger transmission
Small chainwheel (front)
– easy gear – smaller transmission
Large sprocket (rear)
– easy gear – smaller transmission
Small sprocket (rear)
– heavy gear – bigger transmission
Normally the shifters are mounted as follows:
Shifter right – rear sprockets
Shifter left – front chainwheels
