KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
indicator on the side of the wheel rim is an indication
that the wheel rim has reached its maximum usable
life. Riding a wheel that is at the end of its usable life
can result in wheel failure, which can cause you to lose
control and fall.
Brakes:
Check the brakes for proper operation (see
Sections 4.C). Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brake
quick-releases closed? All control cables seated and
securely engaged? If you have rim brakes, do the brake
pads contact the wheel rim squarely and make full contact
with the rim? Do the brakes begin to engage within an inch
of brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force
at the levers without having them touch the handlebar?
If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not ride the
bike until the brakes are properly adjusted by a
professional bicycle mechanic.
Wheel retention system: Make sure the front and
rear wheels are correctly secured. See Section 4.A
Seat post: If your seat post has an over-center cam action
fastener for easy height adjustment, check that it is properly
adjusted and in the locked position. See Section 4.B.
Handlebar and Saddle Alignment: Make sure the
saddle and handlebar stem are parallel to the bike’s
center line and clamped tight enough so that you can’t
twist them out of alignment [see Sections 3.B and 3.C].
If not, align and tighten them.
Handlebar Ends: Make sure the handlebar grips are
secure and in good condition, with no cuts, tears, or worn
out areas. If not, have your dealer replace them. Make
sure the handlebar ends and extensions are plugged. If
not, have your dealer plug them before you ride. If the
handlebars have bar end extensions, make sure they are
clamped tight enough so you can’t twist them.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or
extensions can cause you to lose control and fall. Un-
plugged handlebars or extensions can cut your body,
and can cause serious injury in an otherwise minor
accident.
VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Please also read
and become thoroughly familiar with the important
information on the lifespan of your bicycle and its
components in Appendix B on Page 38.
D) FIRST RIDE
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your rst
familiarization ride on your new bicycle, be sure to pick
a controlled environment, away from cars, other cyclists,
obstacles or other hazards. Ride to become familiar with
the controls, features and performance of your new bike.
Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the bike
[see Section 4.C]. Test the brakes at slow speed, put-
ting your weight toward the rear and gently applying the
brakes, rear brake rst. Sudden or excessive application
of the front brake could pitch you over the handlebars.
Applying brakes too hard can lock up a wheel, which could
cause you to lose control and fall. Skidding is an example
of what can happen when a wheel locks up.
If your bicycle has toeclips or clipless pedals, practice
getting in and out of the pedals. See paragraph B.4 above
and Section 4.E.4.
If your bike has suspension, familiarize yourself with how
the suspension responds to brake application and rider
weight shifts [see Section 1.B.5 and Section 4.F].
Practice shifting the gears [see Section 4.D]. Remember
to never move the shifter while pedaling backward,

C) MECHANICAL SAFETY CHECK
Routinely check the condition of your bicycle before
every ride.
Nuts, bolts, screws & other fasteners:
Because
manufacturers use a wide variety of fastener sizes and
shapes made in a variety of materials, often differing by
model and component, it is not possible for this Manual to
specify correct torque (tightening force) for the fasteners
on your bicycle. We can tell you the importance of correct
torque, but not the specic torque required for each
fastener on your bicycle. To correctly torque a fastener,
a torque wrench must be used. A professional bicycle
mechanic with a torque wrench should torque the fasteners
on you bicycle. If you choose to work on your own bicycle
you must get correct tightening torque specications
from the bicycle or component manufacturer or from your
dealer. If you need to make an adjustment at home or in
the eld, we urge you to exercise care, and to have the
fasteners you worked on checked by your dealer as soon
as possible. Note that there are some components which
require special tools and knowledge. In Sections 3 and
4 we discuss the items which you may be able to adjust
yourself. All other adjustments and repairs should be done
by a qualied bicycle mechanic.
WARNING: Correct tightening force on fasteners
— nuts, bolts, screws — on your bicycle is important.
Too little force, and the fastener may not hold
securely. Too much force, and the fastener can strip
threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect
tightening force can result in component failure, which
can cause you to lose control and fall.
Make sure nothing is loose. Lift the front wheel off the
ground by two or three inches, then let it bounce on the
ground. Anything sound, feel or look loose? Do a visual
and tactile inspection of the whole bike. Any loose parts
or accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure, ask
someone with experience to check.
Tires & Wheels: Make sure tires are correctly inated
[see Section 4.H.1]. Check by putting one hand on the
saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars and
stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while
looking at tire deection. Compare what you see with how
it looks when you know the tires are correctly inated;
and adjust if necessary. Tires in good shape? Spin each
wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall.
Replace damaged tires before riding the bike. Wheels
true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and
side-to-side wobble. If a wheel wobbles side to side even
slightly, or rubs against or hits the brake pads, take the
bike to a qualied bike shop to have the wheel trued.
CAUTION: Wheels must be true for the brakes to
work effectively. Wheel truing is a skill which requires
special tools and experience. Do not attempt to true a
wheel unless you have the knowledge, experience and
tools needed to do the job correctly.
Wheel rims clean and undamaged? Make sure the rims
are clean and undamaged at the tire bead and, if you
have rim brakes, along the braking surface. Check to
make sure that any rim wear indicator marking is not
visible at any point on the wheel rim.
WARNING: Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear.
Ask your dealer about wheel rim wear. Some wheel
rims have a rim wear indicator which becomes visible
as the rim’s braking surface wears. A visible rim wear
