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 ap-

propriate 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

between the fork blades so that the axle seats rmly at

the top of the fork dropouts. The cam lever, if there is

one, should be on rider’s left side of the bicycle (g. 8a

& b). If your bike has a clip-on type secondary retention

device, engage it.

(3) If you have a traditional cam action mechanism:

holding the cam lever in the ADJUST position with your

right hand, tighten the tension adjusting nut with your

left hand until it is nger tight against the fork dropout

(g. 8a). If you have a cam-and-cup system: the nut and

cup (g. 8b) will have snapped into the recessed area of

the fork dropouts and no adjustment should be required.

(4) While pushing the wheel rmly to the top of the slots

in the fork dropouts, and at the same time centering the

wheel rim in the fork:

(a) With a cam action system, move the cam lever up-

wards and swing it into the CLOSED position (g. 8a & b).

The lever should now be parallel to the fork blade 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.

(b) With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten

the fasteners to the torque specications in the hub

manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: If, on a traditional cam action system, the lever

cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to

the fork blade, return the lever to the OPEN position.

Then turn the tension adjusting nut counterclockwise

one-quarter turn and try tightening the lever again.

(5) With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten

the fasteners to the torque specications in the hub

manufacturer’s instructions.

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 fork blade 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.

(6) If you disengaged the brake quick-release mechanism

in 3. a. (1) above, re-engage it to restore correct brake

pad-to-rim clearance.

(7)

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.

c. Removing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel

(1) If you have a multi-speed bike with a derailleur gear

system: shift the rear derailleur to high gear (the small-

est, outermost rear sprocket).

If you have an internal gear rear hub, consult your dealer

or the hub manufacturer’s instructions before attempting

to remove the rear wheel.

If you have a single-speed bike with rim or disk brake, go

to step (4) below.

(2) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake’s

quick-release mechanism to increase the clearance be-

tween the wheel rim and the brake pads (see Section 4.C,

gs. 11 through 15).

(3) On a derailleur gear system, pull the derailleur body

back with your right hand.
