Rear shocks

Full suspension MERIDA bikes are not only equipped

with a suspension fork but also with movable rear stays

(e)

which are sprung and damped by a rear shock. This

feature gives you better control of your MERIDA bike

when riding cross-country or on rough road surfaces.

The (shock) loads on you and your MERIDA bike are no-

ticeably reduced. The rear shock normally works with

an air spring element or – less frequently – with coil

springs. Damping is usually done by oil.

To work perfectly, the rear shock has to be adjusted to

the weight of the rider, the sitting posture and the intend-

ed use

(f)

. Be sure to have this adjustment carried out by

your MERIDA dealer at the time of delivery.

For more information see the chapter “Rear shocks” in

your comprehensive MERIDA user manual as well as

the instructions of the rear shock manufacturer on the

enclosed MERIDA CD-ROM.

Full suspension frames are designed to ab-

sorb shocks. If the rear shock is too rigid and

jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass di-

rectly into the frame without any damping. This could

damage the rear shock itself as well as the frame. If your

rear shock has a lockout mechanism, do not activate the

lockout function when riding in rough terrain, but only

when riding over smooth terrain (roads, ﬁeld tracks).

The rear shock should be set up and adjust-

ed in a way that it does not reach the end of

its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme

cases

(g)

. A spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is

too low) can usually be heard or felt as a “clunk” type

noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete

compression of the rear shock as it reaches bottom out.

If the rear shock frequently reaches bottom out, it will

sustain damage over time, and so will the frame.

A too strong damping of the rear frame can

result in a sluggish rebound movement with a

rear shock that will not recover when exposed

to a quick series of impacts. Risk of an accident!

Do not turn any bolt on your suspension

fork, particularly not with tools, in the vague

hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be

loosening the fastening mechanism, thus provoking an

accident. All manufacturers normally mark adjustment

devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/

harder suspension) and “-“ signs

(h)

Rear shock manufacturers normally include

instructions with their deliveries. You ﬁnd

these instructions on the enclosed MERIDA

CD-ROM. Read these carefully before changing any

settings or doing any maintenance work on your rear

shock.
