KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
two inches (5 cm).
A bike that you’ll ride on
unpaved surfaces should
give you a minimum of
three inches (7.5 cm) of
standover height clearance.
And a bike that you’ll use
off road should give you
four inches (10 cm) or
more of clearance.
2. Step-through frame
bicycles
Standover height does
not apply to bicycles with step-through frames. Instead,
the limiting dimension is determined by saddle height
range. You must be able to adjust your saddle position
as described in B without exceeding the limits set by
the height of the top of the seat tube and the ”Minimum
Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark on the seat post.
B) SADDLE POSITION
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in
getting the most performance and comfort from your
bicycle. If the saddle position is not comfortable for you,
see your dealer, who has the tools and skill to change it.
The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
1. Up and down adjustment. To check for correct saddle
height [Fig. 3]:
• sit on the saddle;
• place one heel on a pedal;
• rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in
the down position and the crank arm is parallel to the
seat tube.
WARNING: Failure to conrm compatibility,
properly install, operate and maintain any component
or accessory can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Changing the components on your
bike may void the warranty. Refer to your warranty,
and check with your dealer before changing the
components on your bike.
3. FIT
NOTE: Correct t is an essential element of bicycling
safety, performance and comfort. Making the
adjustments to your bicycle which result in correct
t for your body and riding conditions requires
experience, skill and special tools. Always have your
dealer make the adjustments on your bicycle; or, if you
have the experience, skill and tools, have your dealer
check your work before riding.
WARNING: If your bicycle does not t properly,
you may lose control and fall. If your new bike doesn’t
t, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.
A) STANDOVER HEIGHT
1. Diamond frame bicycles
Standover height is the basic element of bike t. It is
the distance from the ground to the top of the bicycle’s
frame at that point where your crotch is when straddling
the bike. To check for correct standover height, straddle
the bike while wearing the kind of shoes in which you’ll
be riding, and bounce vigorously on your heels. If your
crotch touches the frame, the bike is too big for you.
Don’t even ride the bike around the block. A bike which
you ride only on paved surfaces and never take off-road
should give you a minimum standover height clearance of 11
aggressive riding. Check with your dealer or the bicycle’s
manufacturer about the suitability of your bicycle before
engaging in extreme riding.
When riding fast down hill, you can reach speeds seen on
motorcycles, and therefore face similar hazards and risks.
Have your bicycle and equipment carefully inspected by a
qualied mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition.
Consult with expert riders and race ofcials on conditions
and equipment advisable at the site where you plan to ride.
Wear appropriate safety gear, including an approved full
face helmet, full nger gloves, and body armor. Ultimately,
it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to be
familiar with course conditions.
WARNING: Although many catalogs,
advertisements and articles about bicycling depict
riders engaged in extreme riding, this activity is
extremely dangerous, increases your risk of injury
or death, and increases the severity of any injury.
Remember that the action depicted is being performed
by professionals with many years of training and
experience. Know your limits and always wear a
helmet and other appropriate safety gear. Even with
state-of-the-art protective safety gear, you could be
seriously injured or killed when jumping, stunt riding,
riding downhill at speed or in competition.
CAUTION: Bicycles and bicycle parts have
limitations with regard to strength and integrity, and
this type of riding can exceed those limitations or
dramatically reduce the length of their safe use.
We recommend against this type of riding because of the
increased risks; but if you choose to take the risk, at least:
• Take lessons from a competent instructor rst.
• Start with easy learning exercises and slowly develop
your skills before trying more difcult or dangerous
riding
• Use only designated areas for stunts, jumping, racing or
fast downhill riding
• Wear a full face helmet, safety pads and other
safety gear.
• Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on
your bike by this kind of activity may break or damage
parts of the bicycle and void the warranty.
• Take your bicycle to your dealer if anything breaks
or bends. Do not ride your bicycle when any part is
damaged.
If you ride downhill at speed, do stunt riding or ride in
competition, know the limits of your skill and experience.
Ultimately, avoiding injury is your responsibility.
G) CHANGING COMPONENTS OR
ADDING ACCESSORIES
There are many components and accessories available
to enhance the comfort, performance and appearance of
your bicycle. However, if you change components or add
accessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle’s
manufacturer may not have tested that component or
accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on your
bicycle. Before installing any component or accessory,
including a different size tire, make sure that it is
compatible with your bicycle by checking with your dealer.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the instructions
that accompany the products you purchase for your
bicycle. See also Appendix A, p. 33 and B, p. 38.
