8. Adjusting the bike to the rider
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too
far. The mark on the seat post must always
remain within the seat tube. As a minimum,
the seat post should be inserted by 2.5 times
the diameter, i.e. with a 30 mm diameter seat
post, at least 75 mm of it must remain within
the seat tube.
Make sure the part of the seat post inserted
inside the seat tube is always well greased.
Do not grease seat post or seat tube, if the
frame or the seat post are made of carbon.
For more information see chapter 28.4 “Car-
bon handlebars and stems
and chapter
28.5 “Carbon seat post”.
If the seat post does not move easily inside
the seat tube, ask your MERIDA dealer for
advice. Do not ever use brute force.
Align the saddle with the frame using the sad-
dle nose and the bottom bracket or top tube
as a reference point.
In case of frames with long seat tube stretch-
ing beyond the top tube, the seat post must at
least reach below the height of the top tube
i.e. the tip of the rear stays! This can entail a
minimum insertion length of 10 centimetres
or more.
Clamp the seat post tight again by turning the
seat post binder bolt clockwise. You should
not need much strength in your hands to
clamp the seat post sufficiently tight. If you
do, it means the seat post is the wrong size
for the frame.
If you have a road bike with a very
small frame, there may be a danger
of your foot colliding with the front wheel.
Check the position of your cleats (the plates
on the soles of cycling shoes), if this applies
to your bike.
Never ride your bike with the seat
post drawn out beyond the limit, maxi
-
mum, or stop line! The seat post might break
or cause severe damage to the frame.
