Although 95% pre-assembled, some minor adjustments and final assembly steps are required before your first ride.

2. Lenkereinstellung: Raise the handlebar stem to your desired height and secure it with the quick-release lever. Ensure the handlebar is aligned straight with the front wheel. Tighten the handlebar clamp fest.
3. Einstellung der Sattelstütze: Insert the seat post into the frame and adjust the saddle height for comfortable pedaling. Your leg should have a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Secure the seat post with the quick-release lever.
4. Pedalinstallation: If not already installed, screw the pedals into the crank arms. Note that pedals are typically marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right. The left pedal screws in counter-clockwise, and the right pedal screws in clockwise.

Gears (Shimano Nexus 3-Speed)

Your PACTO Nine is equipped with a Shimano Nexus 3-speed internal hub gear system. This system provides reliable and low-maintenance shifting.

• Verschiebung: Use the twist shifter on the handlebar to change gears.
• Gang 1: Zum Bergauffahren oder Anfahren.
• Gang 2: For general riding on flat terrain.
• Gang 3: For higher speeds on flat or downhill sections.

You can shift gears while stationary, which is a benefit of internal hub gears, but it is generally smoother to shift while pedaling lightly.

Brakes (Linear Pull Brakes)

The PACTO Nine uses linear pull brakes (V-brakes) for effective stopping power. It features two hand brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel. There is no coaster brake (back-pedal brake).

• The right lever typically controls the rear brake.
• The left lever typically controls the front brake.
• Apply both brakes simultaneously for controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard application of the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent skidding or losing control.

Wartung

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your PACTO Nine Folding Bike.

• Reinigung: Reinigen Sie Ihr Fahrrad regelmäßig mit milder Seife und Wasser. Vermeiden Sie Hochdruckreiniger.
• Schmierung: Lubricate the chain every few weeks or after riding in wet conditions. Use bicycle-specific chain lubricant.
• Bremsen: Check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are free of rust and fraying.
• Reifen: Inspect tires for cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Maintain correct tire pressure.
• Befestigungsmaterial: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are tight and secure. Pay special attention to the folding mechanisms.
• Lagerung: Store your bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
