KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
26
benet with any kind of shoe, they work most effectively
with cycling shoes designed for use with toeclips. Your
dealer can explain how toeclips and straps work. Shoes
with deep treaded soles or welts which might make it
more difcult for you to insert or remove your foot should
not be used with toeclips and straps.
WARNING: Getting into and out of pedals with
toeclips and straps requires skill which can only be
acquired with practice. Until it becomes a reex action,
the technique requires concentration which can distract
the rider’s attention, causing you to lose control and
fall. Practice the use of toeclips and straps where there
are no obstacles, hazards or trafc. Keep the straps
loose, and don’t tighten them until your technique and
condence in getting in and out of the pedals warrants
it. Never ride in trafc with your toe straps tight.
4. Clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”)
are another means to keep feet securely in the correct
position for maximum pedaling efciency. They work like
ski bindings ... a plate on the sole of the shoe clicks into a
spring-loaded xture on the pedal. Clipless pedals require
shoes and cleats which are compatible with the make and
model pedal being used.
Many clipless pedals are designed to allow the rider
to adjust the amount of force needed to engage or
disengage the foot. Follow the pedal manufacturer’s
instructions, or ask your dealer to show you how to make
this adjustment. Use the easiest setting until engaging
and disengaging becomes a reex action, but always
make sure that there is sufcient tension to prevent
unintended release of your foot from the pedal.
WARNING: Clipless pedals are intended for use
with shoes specically made to t them and are
designed to rmly keep the foot engaged with the 25
pedal. Do not use shoes which do not engage the
pedals correctly.
Practice is required to learn to engage and disengage
the foot safely. Until engaging and disengaging the foot
becomes a reex action, the technique requires concen-
tration which can distract the rider’s attention, causing
the rider to lose control and fall. Practice engaging and
disengaging clipless pedals in a place where there are no
obstacles, hazards or trafc; and be sure to follow the
pedal manufacturer’s setup and service instructions. If
you do not have the manufacturer’s instructions, see your
dealer or contact the manufacturer.
F) BICYCLE SUSPENSION
Many bicycles are equipped with suspension systems.
There are many different types of suspension systems —
too many to deal with individually in this Manual. If your
bicycle has a suspension system of any kind, be sure to
read and follow the suspension manufacturer’s setup and
service instructions. If you do not have the manufacturer’s
instructions, see your dealer or contact the manufacturer.
WARNING: Failure to maintain, check and properly
adjust the suspension system may result in suspension
malfunction, which may cause you to lose control and fall.
If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may
develop also increases your risk of injury. For example,
when braking, the front of a suspended bike dips. You
could lose control and fall if you do not have experience
with this system. Learn to handle your suspension system
safely [see also Section 4.C].
WARNING: Changing suspension adjustment can
change the handling and braking characteristics of your
bicycle. Never change suspension adjustment unless
you are thoroughly familiar with the suspension system
