KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
14
WARNING: Some people have claimed that
extended riding with a saddle which is incorrectly
adjusted or which does not support your pelvic area
correctly can cause short-term or long-term injury to
nerves and blood vessels, or even impotence. If your
saddle causes you pain, numbness or other discomfort,
listen to your body and stop riding until you see your
dealer about saddle adjustment or a different saddle.
C) HANDLEBAR HEIGHT AND ANGLE
Your bike is equipped
either with a “thread-
less” stem (g. 6),
which clamps on to the
outside of the steerer
tube, or with a “quill”
stem (g. 7), which
clamps inside the
steerer tube by way of
an expanding binder
bolt. If you aren’t abso-
lutely sure which type
of stem your bike has,
ask your dealer. If your
bike has a “threadless”
stem, your dealer may
be able to change han-
dlebar height by mov-
ing height adjustment
spacers from below
the stem to above the
stem, or vice versa.
Otherwise, you’ll have
to get a stem of dif-
ferent length or rise.
Consult your dealer. Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it
requires special knowledge. If your bike has a “quill” stem,
you can ask your dealer to adjust the handlebar height a
bit by adjusting stem height. A quill stem has an etched
or stamped mark on its shaft which designates the stem’s
“Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum extension.” This mark
must not be visible above the headset
.
WARNING: A quill stem's Minimum Insertion Mark
must not be visible above the top of the headset. If the
stem is extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark
the stem may break or damage the fork's steerer tube,
which could cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING: On some bicycles, changing the stem
or stem height can affect the tension of the front brake
cable, locking the front brake or creating excess cable
slack which can make the front brake inoperable.
If the front brake pads move in towards the wheel
rim or out away from the wheel rim when the stem or
stem height is changed, the brakes must be correctly
adjusted before you ride the bicycle.
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. 13
