Rinos Assembly Guide

Welcome to the Rinos Bike Assembly Guide. This guide will help you assemble your new Rinos bike with ease. Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure a safe and efficient assembly process. This guide is recommended for gravel and road bikes.

Warranty

The Rinos bike comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects for the frame and fork from the date of purchase. If you have any concerns about your product, please contact us at info@rinosbikes.eu.
Tools Needed (Included)
  • Multifunction tools included.
  • Torque wrench (Good to have)
  • Handle bar parts (Included)

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging and lay them out in a clean, organized workspace. Check that all parts are present:
  • Frame
  • Seatpost and Saddle
  • Fork
  • Wheels
  • Handlebar
  • Stem
  • Small parts for the stem
After removing all the packaging and checking that nothing is missing, your bike should look like this:

2. Wheel Installation

As you can see, the back wheel is completely installed already from the box, but you still need to assemble the front one.
First, you need to remove the orange plastic protector as shown in the following pictures as well as the axle.
Then, get ready the following tool and screw, which are included in the package:
As you can see, you just have to place the wheel in the right angle and tighten the axle using a 6mm hex key (Included). We must not surpass 12 Nm, since it is the maximum, and applying more force could result in damage. However, it is unlikely to reach this pressure with a hand tool.
We also recommend having something or someone that holds the back wheel for easier handling and more precise assembly.

3. Handlebar Assembly

First, use the 6mm imbus key included in the package to tighten the screw shown in the picture no more than 12 Nm. While doing this, ensure that the cables are aligned and not crossed.
Then, as shown in the picture, start mounting the aluminum parts, starting from the widest and left side.
As you can see, when done correctly, the parts fit tightly together. Remember to do it from the widest to narrowest, as they will fit together like a puzzle.
The integrated handlebar can be incorporated after the aluminum parts are smoothly installed, as shown in the first picture above. The next step is using a 5mm imbus key to tighten the cap screw into the handlebar, as shown in the second picture. Around 5Nm torque. Finally, also tighten the small screws on the side of the integrated handlebar.
Then to finish this part, shake the bike from the handlebar to check if it was properly assembled. If it can move smoothly and comfortably, you have finished this part. If not, try to make the screws tighter or looser to find your most comfortable ride.

4. Saddle and Seatpost Assembly

First, locate the gap for the seat post. Introduce the seat clamp into the frame and hold it with a finger. Check the maximum seat height allowed in the seat post itself.
Then insert the seat and use a 4mm imbus key included to tighten it. The max torque is 12 Nm. Afterward, check if the seat is aligned with the frame. At last, do not forget the rubber part, as shown in the last picture.

5. Pedal Installation

We do not normally add pedals to our bikes since we know that you have your own preferences. Even so, here is a little general clarification about how to install the pedals:
  • Identify the left and right pedals (they are usually marked L and R).
  • Thread the right pedal (clockwise) into the right crank arm and tighten using a pedal wrench.
  • Thread the left pedal (counterclockwise) into the left crank arm and tighten using a pedal wrench.

Maintenance and Safety Checks

  • Ensure there is no play in the headset.
  • Confirm that the handlebar is securely fastened.
  • Verify that the hub thru-axles are tight.
  • Check that the brakes are working properly.
  • Keep the chain clean and lubricated.
  • Check tire pressure, determined by marking on the tires. Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure from the manufacturer.

Additional Adjustments

Stem and Handlebar Adjustment
The stem can be adjusted for height by rearranging the spacers above and below it.
To adjust the stem height:
  • Loosen the top cap and stem bolts.
  • Move the desired number of spacers below or above the stem.
  • Re-tighten the stem bolts to 5 Nm.

Saddle Position

To adjust the saddle tilt or fore-aft position, loosen the saddle clamp bolt, make the adjustments, and re-tighten to 5 Nm.
