4. Installing the Seat Post and Saddle
Insert the seat post into the frame's seat tube. Adjust the saddle height so that your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Secure the quick-release or bolt on the seat post clamp.
5. Attaching the Pedals
Pedals are marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right. The right pedal tightens clockwise, and the left pedal tightens counter-clockwise. Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads before installation. Tighten firmly with a wrench.
6. Подешавање кочнице
Ensure both front and rear caliper brakes are properly aligned and the pads make full contact with the rim. The brake levers should engage smoothly and provide firm stopping power without touching the handlebars.
7. Надувавање гума
Inflate the 700x32C commuter tires to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. Proper inflation is crucial for safety and performance.
Упутство за употребу
1. Shifting Gears (Shimano 7-Speed)
Your Kinney Mixte is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain and Revoshift Twist-Grip shifters. To change gears, twist the shifter on the right handlebar forward or backward. Twist forward for higher gears (faster speed, harder pedaling) and backward for lower gears (easier pedaling, good for inclines).

2. Кочење
The bike uses caliper brakes. The right lever controls the rear brake, and the left lever controls the front brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective stopping. Avoid sudden, hard application of the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent loss of control.
3. Using the Rear Rack
The integrated rear rack is designed to carry light cargo. Ensure any items are securely fastened and do not interfere with the rear wheel or your pedaling. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity specified for the rack.
Одржавање
- Редовно чишћење: Keep your bike clean, especially the drivetrain components, to prevent dirt buildup and wear.
- Подмазивање ланца: Lubricate the chain regularly, especially after riding in wet conditions, to ensure smooth shifting and prevent rust.
- Преглед кочница: Проверите да ли су кочионе плочице истрошене и замените их када је потребно. Уверите се да сајле кочница нису истрошене и да су правилно затегнуте.

- Провера вијака: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners for tightness, including those on the handlebars, seat post, and wheels.
