Ride over an obstacle (e.g. down a kerb) subsequently
and turn the rebound damping in small steps towards
the “+” setting. You have found the proper rebound set-
ting when the rear shock does not cycle more than once
(e-g)
. Always check a changed adjustment during a test
ride in the terrain.
Some rear shocks have a compression damping in addi-
tion. The typical compression damping, or on some rear
shocks the high-speed compression damping, slows
down the compression when riding at high speed over
an obstacle. A high compression speed would possibly
make the rear shock bottom out.
A weaker damping ensures a good responsive perfor-
mance, leads however to an excessive compression of
the rear shock when riding at high speed over obstacles,
e.g. steps, or to a bouncing when riding out of the saddle
under certain conditions. A stronger damping hardens
the suspension and thus reduces the riding comfort.
If you have set the sag correctly, as above described,
and the rear shock works properly during a normal test
ride, but bottoms out in an extreme situation, you can
increase the compression damping
(h)
.
Proceed click by click as a too strong compression
damping prevents the rear shock from using the com-
plete suspension travel. The setting of the compression
damping can be a long process which has to be carried
out consciously and always in small steps.
Start with the lowest step, i.e. the adjusting knob must
be turned fully towards the marking “-“.
Always check a changed adjustment during a test ride
in the terrain.
If you do not trust the setting of the damping or if prob-
lems occur with it, contact your MERIDA dealer or fol-
low the corresponding operating instructions of the rear
shock manufacturer, which you can find on this MERIDA
CD-ROM.

A too strong damping of the rear shock (re-
bound damping) can result in a sluggish re-
bound movement with a rear shock that will
not recover when exposed to a quick series of impacts.
Risk of an accident!
G
Do not turn any screws by using tools in the
vague hope of adjusting them somehow. You
could be loosening the fastening mechanism,
thus provoking an accident. Normally, the adjustment
devices are operated with the fingers and are marked
by all manufacturers with a scale or with “+” (for stron-
ger damping/harder suspension) and “-“ signs.
