30.2 A note on wear
Some components of your bike are subject
to wear due to their function. The rate of
wear depends on care and maintenance as
well as on the way you use your bike (kilo-
metres travelled, rides in the rain, dirt, salt
etc.). Bikes that are often left standing in the
open may also be subject to increased wear
through influence of weather.
These components require regular care and
maintenance. Nevertheless, sooner or later
they will reach the end of their service life,
depending on the conditions and intensity
of use. Parts that have reached their limit of
wear must be replaced.
This concerns:
The chain
The brake cables
The handlebar grips / tape
The chainwheels
The paint
The sprockets
The chain rollers
The gear cables
The tires
The saddle covering
The lubricants
The brake pads
Pads of caliper and disc brakes are inherently
subject to wear. If you use your bike for com-
petitive cycling or in hilly terrain, they may
have to be replaced quite frequently. Check
your brake pads regularly and have them
replaced by your MERIDA dealer, if neces-
sary.
Rims of bikes with V-brakes or hydraulic
caliper brakes
Braking causes wear not only to the brake
pads but also to the rims. Therefore, check
your rims regularly, e.g. when pumping up the
tires. Some rims have wear indicators, such
as rings, coloured marks or grooves, which
become visible when the rim has reached its
limit of wear. Take note of the specifications
given on the rim. Ask your MERIDA dealer to
examine the remaining thickness of the rims
at the latest when you are through your sec-
ond set of brake pads. Signs of deformation
or fine cracks that appear in the sides of a rim
when you increase the tire pressure indicate
that the rim has reached the end of its service
life. In this case, the rim must be replaced.
Bearings and seals of suspension forks
and rear shocks
Seals and bearings are constantly in motion
when the frame is subject to changing loads.
These moving components are inherently sub-
ject to wear through the influence of weather
(rain, dirt) and must therefore be cleaned and
serviced regularly by your MERIDA dealer.
However, depending on the intensity of use,
these parts may wear down to a point where
they have to be replaced, e.g. when bearings
become slack.
Lighting and reflectors
The lighting is essential for your safety on the
road, especially at night. Check whether the
reflectors are in good working order before
every ride. Light bulbs are inherently subject
to wear. Always have a set of spare bulbs
with you so that you can replace them, if nec-
essary.
