3. Before your first ride
3. Are you familiar with the brake system?
Check whether the lever of the front brake
is in the position you are used to (right or
left). If this is not the case, you will need to
train to get used to it, as inadvertent use
of the front brake can make you crash!
Or ask your MERIDA dealer to switch the
brake levers.
Your new bike is equipped with modern
brakes which may be far more powerful
than those you are used to!
Be sure to first practise using the brakes off
public roads!
You will find more information about
brakes in chapter 9. “The brake system“
and in the brake manufacturers’ manuals
your bike is supplied with.
Please note that your bikes braking
power and road grip will both be
severely reduced in wet conditions. Look
well ahead when riding on wet roads and
go well below the speed you would ride at
in dry conditions.
4. Are you familiar with the type and func
-
tioning of the gears?
If not, make yourself familiar with the
gears in a place free of traffic.
For more information see chapter 10. “The
gears“.
5. Are saddle and handlebars properly
adjusted?
The saddle should be set to a height from
which you can just reach the pedal in
its lowest position with your heel. Check
whether your toes reach to the floor when
you are sitting on the saddle. Your MERIDA
dealer will be pleased to help you, if you
are not happy with your sitting position.
You will find more information on this
in chapter 8. “Adjusting the bike to the
rider“.
6. If your bike is equipped with clipless or
step-in pedals: Have you ever ridden in
the shoes they go with?
First practise locking one shoe onto a
pedal and disengaging it while standing
on the other leg!
For more information see chapter 16. “The
pedals“. You will find more information on
the pedals in the enclosed pedal manual.
7. If you bought a suspension bike, you
should ask your MERIDA dealer to adjust
the suspension mechanism to your needs.
Improperly adjusted spring components
are liable to malfunction or become dam-
aged. In any case, they will impair the
performance of your bike as well as your
safety whilst riding.
You will find more information about this
in chapter 13. “The suspension fork“,
chapter 14. “The suspension seat post“,
chapter 15. “The rear shock“ and in the
enclosed manuals.
