KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

B) SADDLE POSITION

Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in

getting the most performance and comfort from your

bicycle. If the saddle position is not comfortable for you,

see your dealer, who has the tools and skill to change it.

The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:

1. Up and down adjustment.

To check for correct

saddle height [Fig. 3]:

• sit on the saddle;

• place one heel

on a pedal;

• rotate the crank until

the pedal with your heel

on it is in the down posi-

tion and the crank arm is

parallel to the seat tube.

If your leg is not

completely straight and

just touching the center

of the pedal, your saddle

height needs to be adjusted. If your hips must rock for the

heel to reach the pedal, the saddle is too high.

If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the pedal,

the saddle is too low.

Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding

position and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you

choose to make your own saddle height adjustment:

- loosen the seat post clamp

- raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube

- make sure the saddle is straight fore and aft

- re-tighten the seat post clamp to the recommended

torque (Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).

A) STANDOVER HEIGHT

1. Diamond frame

bicycles

Standover height is the

basic element of bike t.

It is the distance from

the ground to the top

of the bicycle’s frame at

that point where your

crotch is when straddling

the bike. To check

for correct standover

height, straddle the bike

while wearing the kind

of shoes in which you’ll

be riding, and bounce

vigorously on your

heels. If your crotch touches the frame, the bike is too big

for you. Don’t even ride the bike around the block. A bike

which you ride only on paved surfaces and never take

off-road should give you a minimum standover height

clearance of two inches (5 cm). A bike that you’ll ride on

unpaved surfaces should give you a minimum of three

inches (7.5 cm) of standover height clearance. And a bike

that you’ll use off road should give you four inches

(10 cm) or more of clearance.

2. Step-through frame bicycles

Standover height does not apply to bicycles with step-

through frames. Instead, the limiting dimension is

determined by saddle height range. You must be able

to adjust your saddle position as described in B without

exceeding the limits set by the height of the top of the

seat tube and the ”Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum

Extension” mark on the seat post. 11
