KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

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.

If your leg is not completely

straight and just touching the

center of the pedal, your saddle height needs to be adjusted.

If your hips must rock for the heel to reach the pedal, the

saddle is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your

heel on the pedal, the saddle is too low.

Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding

position and to show you how to make this adjustment.

If you choose to make your own saddle height adjustment:

- loosen the seat post clamp

- raise or lower the seat post in the seat

tube

- make sure the saddle is straight fore

and aft

- re-tighten the seat post clamp to the

recommended torque (see the manu-

facturer's instructions).

Once the saddle is at the correct

height, make sure that the seatpost

does not project from the frame beyond

its “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum

Extension” mark [Fig. 4].

2. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted

forward or back to help you get the optimal position

on the bike. Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your

optimal riding position and to show you how to make this

adjustment. If you choose to make your own front and

back adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism

is clamping on the straight part of the saddle rails and is

not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are

using the recommended torque on the clamping fastener(s)

(see the manufacturer’s instructions).

3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizon-

tal saddle; but some riders like the saddle nose angled up

or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle

or teach you how to do it. If you choose to make your

own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single bolt

saddle clamp on your seat post, it is critical that you loosen

the clamp bolt sufciently to allow any serrations on the

mechanism to disengage before changing the saddle’s

angle, and then that the serrations fully re-engage before

you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended torque

(see the manufacturer’s instructions).

WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments

with a single bolt saddle clamp, always check to

make sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces

of the clamp are not worn. Worn serrations on the

clamp can allow the saddle to move, causing you to

lose control and fall. 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.

NOTE:

If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seat

post, the suspension mechanism may require periodic
