KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

(4) With a cam action mechanism, move the quick-release
lever to the OPEN position (g. 8b). With a through bolt
or bolt on mechanism, loosen the fastener(s) with an
appropriate wrench, lock lever or integral lever; then push
the wheel forward far enough to be able to remove the
chain from the rear sprocket.
(5) Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches and
remove it from the rear dropouts.
d. Installing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel
CAUTION: If your bike is equipped with a rear disk
brake, be careful not to damage the disk, caliper or
brake pads when re-inserting the disk into the caliper.
Never activate a disk brake’s control lever unless the
disk is correctly inserted in the caliper.
(1) With a cam action system, move the cam lever to the
OPEN position (see g. 8 a & b). The lever should be on
the side of the wheel opposite the derailleur and free-
wheel sprockets.
(2) On a derailleur bike, make sure that the rear derail-
leur is still in its outermost, high gear, position; then pull
the derailleur body back with your right hand. Put the
chain on top of the smallest freewheel sprocket.
(3) On single-speed, remove the chain from the front
sprocket, so that you have plenty of slack in the chain.
Put the chain on the rear wheel sprocket.
(4) Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts and
pull it all the way in to the dropouts.
(5) On a single speed or an internal gear hub, replace
the chain on the chainring; pull the wheel back in the
dropouts so that it is straight in the frame and the chain
has about 1/4 inches of up-and-down play.
(6) With a cam action system, move the cam lever
upwards and swing it into the CLOSED position (g. 8 a
& b). The lever should now be parallel to the seat stay or
chain stay and curved toward the wheel. To apply enough
clamping force, you should have to wrap your ngers
around the fork blade for leverage, and the lever should
leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand.
(7) With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten the
fasteners to the torque specications in the hub manufac-
turer’s instructions.
NOTE: If, on a traditional cam action system, the lever
cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to
the seat stay or chain stay, return the lever to the OPEN
position. Then turn the tension adjusting nut counter-
clockwise one-quarter turn and try tightening the lever
again.
WARNING: Securely clamping the wheel with a
cam action retention device takes considerable force.
If you can fully close the cam lever without wrapping
your ngers around the seat stay or chain stay for
leverage, the lever does not leave a clear imprint
in the palm of your hand, and the serrations on the
wheel fastener do not emboss the surfaces of the
dropouts, the tension is insufcient. Open the lever;
turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise a quarter
turn; then try again. See also the rst WARNING in
this Section, p. 16.
(8) If you disengaged the brake quick-release mechanism
in 3. c. (2) above, re-engage it to restore correct brake
pad-to-rim clearance.
(9) Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the
frame and clears the brake pads; then squeeze the brake
lever and make sure that the brakes are operating correctly. 19
