Настройка и сборка
Your Retrospec Kinney Mixte arrives approximately 85% assembled. Follow these steps carefully to complete the assembly. Refer to the included assembly tools for tightening components.
1. Распаковка и осмотр
Carefully remove the bicycle and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any visible damage during shipping. Retain all packaging materials until assembly is complete and you are satisfied with the product.
2. Установка переднего колеса
Align the front wheel with the front fork. Ensure the quick-release skewer is properly installed and tightened. The brake pads should clear the rim without rubbing.

3. Attaching the Handlebars
Insert the handlebar stem into the fork's steerer tube. Ensure the handlebars are centered and aligned with the front wheel. Tighten the stem bolt securely. Adjust the angle of the swept-back handlebars for a comfortable riding position.

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. Регулировка тормоза
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. Накачивание шин
Inflate the 700x32C commuter tires to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. Proper inflation is crucial for safety and performance.
Инструкция по эксплуатации
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. Торможение
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.
Обслуживание
- Регулярная уборка: Keep your bike clean, especially the drivetrain components, to prevent dirt buildup and wear.
- Смазка цепи: Регулярно смазывайте цепь, особенно после езды в сырую погоду, чтобы обеспечить плавное переключение передач и предотвратить коррозию.
- Проверка тормозов: Check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are not frayed and are properly tensioned.
- Давление в шинах: Maintain correct tire pressure for optimal performance and to prevent flats.
- Проверка болтов: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners for tightness, including those on the handlebars, seat post, and wheels.
- Профессиональное обслуживание: It is recommended to have your bike professionally serviced at least once a year, or more frequently if you ride often.
