A too strong damping (rebound damping) of
the fork can result in the fact that the fork no
longer extends when riding over a quick se-
ries of obstacles. Risk of an accident!

Do not turn any screws by using tools in the
vague hope of adjusting them somehow
(e)
.
You could be loosening the fastening mech-
anism, thus provoking an accident. Normally, the ad-
justment devices are operated with the fingers and are
marked by all manufacturers with a scale or with “+”
(for stronger damping/harder suspension) and “-“ signs.

When mounting a new front tire, make sure
there is enough clearance between tire and
fork crown as the fork compresses entirely. If
necessary, deflate the suspension fork completely and
press the handlebars forcefully downward to check this.
This can block the front wheel. Risk of an accident!
A
Do not ride your bike, when the suspension
fork bottoms out. This could damage the sus-
pension fork 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 con-
ditions.

Contact your MERIDA dealer or follow the re-
spective instructions in the operating instruc-
tions of the suspension fork manufacturer on
this MERIDA CD-ROM.
Lockout
When taking long uphill rides involving hard pedaling
out of the saddle, a suspension fork is typically bobbing.
It is advisable to lock the damping, if the suspension fork
has a lockout mechanism
(f+g)
. For downhill rides on
uneven ground the lockout mechanism must be open
stringently.
A
Do not actuate the lockout function when rid-
ing over rough terrain, but only when riding
over smooth terrain (such as roads or field
tracks).
Maintenance
Suspension forks are components of sophisticated de-
sign that require regular maintenance and care. This
has led almost all suspension fork manufacturers to es-
tablish service centers where you can have your forks
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 stanchion
tubes and the wiper rings are absolutely clean.
2. Clean the suspension fork, if it is soiled, directly after
the ride with plenty of water and a soft sponge
