Setup u Assemblea
Your Mongoose Colton Mountain Bike requires some assembly before its first use. It is recommended to have basic tools available, such as Allen wrenches and a pedal wrench. If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
Spakkjar u Spezzjoni
- Neħħi bir-reqqa l-komponenti kollha mill-imballaġġ.
- Inspect all parts for any signs of damage during shipping. Contact customer support immediately if any damage is found.
- Ensure all listed components are present: frame, front wheel, handlebars, seat post with saddle, pedals, and any small parts kit.
Passi tal-Assemblea
- Installa Manubriji: Attach the handlebars to the stem, ensuring they are centered and the bolts are tightened securely.
- Installa rota ta' quddiem: Insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Ensure the quick-release skewer or axle nuts are properly secured.
- Install Seat Post and Saddle: Insert the seat post with the saddle into the frame's seat tube. Adjust the height for comfortable pedaling and tighten the quick-release or bolt.
- Installa Pedali: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal threads counter-clockwise, and the right pedal threads clockwise. Apply a small amount of grease to the threads and tighten firmly with a pedal wrench.
- Check Brakes and Shifters: Verify that brake levers are firm and engage the brakes effectively. Ensure gear shifters operate smoothly through all 7 speeds. Adjust cable tension if necessary.

Operazzjoni
The Mongoose Colton Mountain Bike is designed for trail riding and general cycling. Understanding its features will enhance your riding experience.
Gear Shifting (7-Speed)
Your bike is equipped with a 7-speed drivetrain featuring a trigger shifter. The trigger shifter allows for quick and precise gear changes.
- Upshifting: Use the larger lever on the right shifter to shift to a higher gear (harder to pedal, faster speed).
- Downshifting: Use the smaller lever on the right shifter to shift to a lower gear (easier to pedal, slower speed).
- Shift gears smoothly by pedaling lightly while shifting. Avoid shifting under heavy load.

Brejkijiet tad-Diska Mekkaniċi
The mechanical disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in various conditions.
- The left lever controls the front brake, and the right lever controls the rear brake.
- Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping.
- Evita ibbrejkjar f'daqqa u qawwi, speċjalment bil-brejk ta' quddiem, għax dan jista' jwassal għal telf ta' kontroll.
