Be aware that the distance you need to stop
your bike increases, when you are riding with
your hands on aero bars
(e)
, on bar ends or
on multi-position handlebars. The brake levers are not
always within easy reach.
G
Be sure to use your MERIDA bike only for its in-
tended purpose, as it may otherwise not with-
stand the stress and fail. Risk of an accident!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space
between your crotch
(f)
and the top tube so
that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to
get off your bike quickly.
G
Note that both braking effect and tire grip
can be reduced drastically in wet conditions.
Look well ahead when riding on wet roads
and go well below the speed you would ride at in dry
conditions.
G
Due to the specific intended use, some
MERIDA dirt bikes
(g)
are fitted with only one
brake. There is, however, always a second
brake supplied which can be mounted, if necessary. Do
not ride these MERIDA bikes on public roads, but only
on enclosed terrain.
G
A lack of practice when using clipless ped-
als or too much spring tension in the mech-
anism can lead to a very firm connection,
from which you cannot quickly step out! Risk of an
accident!
G
In case you had a crash with your MERIDA
bike, perform at least the check described in
the chapter “Before every ride“. Ride back
very carefully by taking the shortest route possible,
even if your MERIDA bike went through this check
without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake
hard and do not ride your bike out of the saddle. If you
are in doubt, have yourself picked up by car, instead
of taking any risk. Back home you need to check
your MERIDA bike thoroughly once again. If you are
in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
MERIDA dealer!
