Who knows what the colour code for Merida Green is? I want to make some custom stickers and want to get the colour matched perfectly. Ingo

I have a Merida AM 3000 bought in 2008. Everything pretty standard I think - XT components. I had a tubeless conversion done and it has new Continental Mountain King tyres. Mileage is probably about 2000km in total overall in very good condition. Any ideas on the value? I recently bought a 29er and now need to sell.

Hi All I'm new here and new to buying a MTB. Choices are the 2010 Silverback Nebraska or the new 2011 Merida Matts 300 - both hardtail. Please help. Many thanks.

i was wondering if anyone out there could tell me which each is better adapted to, i've been looking at the 96 and the 120 duel sus range, and i can no where find what each is specialzed for? in terms of xc, all mountain etc.

a Friend of mine is seriously looking for a meduim size mtb. He now came accorss this bike what woud be a reasonable price for it? Merida TFS XC 500 (2008) XT components Rock Schock(will try and find out which one) 700km on the clock

OK so its decision time. I can get a Merida 96 Carbon 3000 for R35K. XT crank set, FOX 32 100RL, X0 gripshift or I can get a Morewood Zula for R40K. Truvativ Stylo Crankset, RS Reba Team 120mm, XO gripshift. I currently ride a merida FLX 3000 hard tail. Awesome bike, climbs like a rocket, but I need a bit of comfort for enduro and multi stage racing and enjoy technical riding. I am 1.8m and weigh about 90kg's. I am worried that the Merida carbon frame will not be able to support my weight and riding style. I must admit that I am more than just a little in love with the Zula, but dropping R40K needs more than just an infactuation. It needs a bit of common sense. Besides... I'll then have to change my username Your thoughts please.

Just a short note of thanks to the Merida agents in SA. You Rock!!!!!! Why you ask, well I noticed a small hairline crack at the top of my headset and I was still thinking about contacting the agents to discuss. But I was afraid of the schlep and was not in for a fight. (OK I am also a Merida Fan I am on my second one, my wife has one and my son has one) WELLLL!!!! what happens next I am out riding with a mate on a Saturday(Also on a Merida mind you) and we are caught buy the Cape Town Merida rep (Sorry His name escapes me now I will post later). And I say in jest, you are just the man I want to speak to. He says why and I show him. What does he do? Nothing NOT!!!!!!! 1. He Takes a photo of crack and BB serial no. and my name and number. 2. He Askes if I can take the bike to Mason Bike Inn. 3. Says he will sort it out by Wednesday (This is Saturday remember andthe Tuesday is a public holiday) 4. I say cool and we ride on. Then Blow me over!!!! Monday at 10:00am or so, He calls me!!!! Can you believe. Says take bike to Masons Bike Inn by Wednesday as the replacement frame will be there. And IT IS!!!!! Thanks Guys this is awsome service!!!!! You have a customer for life. PS Thanks Mason for the rebuild.

I'm not too familiar with Meridas. A mate of mine who is new to Mountain biking has a choice of between one of these and the HFS 1000-D. but there is a substantial price difference , I just want to establish if that difference is justified for the 1000 or if, for the sub 20K price range, the 800 is a good bike? I've been on the Merida site and spec wise they're similar although the 1000 is now full XT as opposed to specs mentioned on the site. BUT, I need to know from those of you who've either ridden or own these bikes Thanks

Im looking to buy a soft tail. I get mixed reactions from all the diffrent shops. Decided on 2 makes now. Merida 96 Carbon 1000D or the merida 96 hfs 1000D. or Scott spark series. Whats the verdict?

anybody know where you can get merida kit from?

Hey guys, i'm looking at these 2 bikes and was hoping some of you could help with the exact specs coming into SA. For example 2/3 shops say the Merida is coming with a Magura Durin Race fork while others have said that it is coming with a Fox fork. Please can you give me a link to the SA spec links. Thanks.

I am looking at getting one of them I would like to know is there someone out there that has one and are they happy? Help and advise is welcome!!

HI. i need some advise on changing the standard mid riser bar 68cm to a flat 60cm bar with bar ends.. can this work on the merida 120??? or not???

I am keen on going road bike, and would like to hear opinions from Hubbers on my two choices. Option 1: Merida Scultura 905 full carbon with Ultegra and Alex Road Aero rims, weight approx 8.6 kg. Option 2: Silverback Kansas full carbon with Ultegra and Ultegra tubeless rims, weight approx. 7.8 kg. Can get both bikes for more or less the same special price, which I will rather not mention. So money is not the real option, more the quality of the bike. Your valued expertise in this field will be highly appreciated.

I looked at the 800 red one today. Was told by a very big bike shop that its a sluggish bike, wont a change of wheels sort that out??? Question??? Its a 5" bike, are they ok for race??

Hi Can anyone maybe give me the contact details for the distrubuter of Merida in SA?

Well finally got a XC machine so I can start riding on Sat.. now that the pins are out of my hand and the stiching is almost - healed.. I will need to do some seriuuus Physioo to get my full motion back ? MTB00072010-02-08 05:35:02
