KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
with your new bike, you feel that a different tire might
better suit your riding needs, your dealer can help you
select the most appropriate design.
The size, pressure rating, and on some high-performance
tires the specic recommended use, are marked on the
sidewall of the tire [see Fig. 17]. The part of this information
which is most important to you is Tire Pressure.
WARNING: Never inate a tire beyond the
maximum pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall.
Exceeding the recommended maximum pressure may
blow the tire off the rim, which could cause damage to
the bike and injury to the rider and bystanders.
The best and
safest way to
inate a bicycle
tire to the correct
pressure is with
a bicycle pump
which has a built-
in pressure gauge.
WARNING:
There is a safety
risk in using
gas station air
hoses or other
air compressors.
They are not
made for bicycle
tires. They move
a large volume of
air very rapidly, and will raise the pressure in your tire
very rapidly, which could cause the tube to explode.
Tire pressure is given either as maximum pressure
or as a pressure range. How a tire performs under

manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations, and
always check for changes in the handling and braking
characteristics of the bicycle after a suspension adjust-
ment by taking a careful test ride in a hazard-free area.
Suspension can increase control and comfort by allow-
ing the wheels to better follow the terrain. This enhanced
capability may allow you to ride faster; but you must
not confuse the enhanced capabilities of the bicycle with
your own capabilities as a rider. Increasing your skill will
take time and practice. Proceed carefully until you have
learned to handle the full capabilities of your bike.
CAUTION: Not all bicycles can be safely retrotted
with some types of suspension systems. Before retrotting
the suspension of any Kona bicycle, check with Kona to
make sure that what you want to do is compatible with the
bicycle’s design, and whether the warranty will be voided.
Failing to do so can result in catastrophic frame failure.
G) SERVICE NOTES FOR KONA DUAL SUSPENSION
• While Kona suspension systems are very torsionally
rigid and require less maintenance than a single pivot
design, bearings and bushings will wear out. Bushing
kits
and replacement rear stays are available from Kona.
• Cartridge bearings give the suspension a smoother
ride. These bearings also require more attention than do
bushings. Contaminated bearings can rust & seize, and
cause frame damage. Regularly inspect the bearings and
make sure that they allow the linkage to move freely.
H) TIRES AND TUBES
1. TIRES: Bicycle tires are available in many designs and
specications, ranging from general-purpose designs to
tires designed to perform best under very specic weather
or terrain conditions. If, once you’ve gained experience
