KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
15
Some bicycles are equipped with an adjustable angle
stem. If your bicycle has an adjustable angle stem, ask
your dealer to show you how to adjust if. Do not attempt
to make the adjustment yourself, as changing stem angle
may also require adjustments to the bicycle's controls.
WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct
torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform.
Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either
mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing
you to lose control and fall.
Your dealer can also change the angle of the handlebar
or bar end extensions.
WARNING: An insufciently tightened stem binder
bolt, handlebar binder bolt or bar end extension clamping
bolt may compromise steering action, which could cause
you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of
the bicycle between your legs and attempt to twist the
handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in
relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation
to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to
the handlebar, the bolts are insufciently tightened.
D) CONTROL POSTION ADJUSTMENTS
The angle of the controls and their position on the
handlebars can be changed. Ask your dealer to make the
adjustments for you. If you choose to make your own
control lever angle adjustment, be sure to re-tighten the
clamp fasteners to the recommended torque
(see the
manufacturer’s instructions)
.
E) BRAKE REACH
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted
for reach. If you have small hands or nd it difcult to
squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can either adjust
the reach or t shorter reach brake levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the
more critical it is to have correctly adjusted brakes, so
that full braking power can be applied within available
brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insufcient to
apply full braking power can result in loss of control,
which may result in serious injury or death.
4. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
It’s important to your safety, performance and enjoyment
to understand how things work on your bicycle. We urge
you to ask your dealer how to do the things described in
this section before you attempt them yourself, and that you
have your dealer check your work before you ride the bike.
If you have even the slightest doubt as to whether you
understand something in this section of the Manual,
talk to your dealer.
See also Appendix B [p.35]. See also
Appendix A and C.
A. Wheels
Bicycle wheels are designed to be removable for easier
transportation and for repair of a tire puncture. In most
cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called
“dropouts” in the fork and frame, but some suspension
mountain bikes use what is called a “through axle” wheel
mounting system.
If you have a mountain bike equipped with through
axle front or rear wheels, make sure that your dealer
has given you the manufacturer’s instructions, and
follow those when installing or removing a through
axle wheel. If you don’t know what a through axle is,
ask your dealer.
Wheels are secured in one of three ways:
• A hollow axle with a shaft (“skewer”) running through it
which has an adjustable tension nut on one end and
