Delovanje

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.

• Prestavljanje: Use the twist shifter on the handlebar to change gears.
• Zobnik 1: For climbing hills or starting from a stop.
• Zobnik 2: For general riding on flat terrain.
• Zobnik 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.

Vzdrževanje

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

• Čiščenje: Clean your bike regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers.
• Mazanje: Verigo namažite vsakih nekaj tednov ali po vožnji v mokrih razmerah. Uporabite mazivo za verigo, specifično za kolo.
• Zavore: Check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are free of rust and fraying.
• Pnevmatike: Inspect tires for cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Maintain correct tire pressure.
• Pritrdilni elementi: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are tight and secure. Pay special attention to the folding mechanisms.
• Shranjevanje: Store your bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
