KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
15
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.
WARNING: An insufciently tightened stem clamp
bolt, handlebar clamp bolt or bar end extension clamping
bolt may compromise steering action, which could cause
you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of
the bicycle between your legs and attempt to twist the
handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in
relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation
to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to
the handlebar, the bolts are insufciently tightened.
WARNING: Be aware that adding aerodynamic
extensions to handlebars will change the steering and
braking response of the bicycle.
D) CONTROL POSITION ADJUSTMENTS
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their
position on the handlebars can be changed. Ask your
dealer to make the adjustments for you. If you choose to
make your own control lever angle adjustment, be sure
to re-tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended
torque
(see the manufacturer’s instructions)
.
E) BRAKE REACH
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted
for reach. If you have small hands or nd it difcult to
squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can either adjust
the reach or t shorter reach brake levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the
more critical it is to have correctly adjusted brakes, so
that full braking power can be applied within available
brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insufcient to
apply full braking power can result in loss of control,
which may result in serious injury or death.
4. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
It’s important to your safety, performance and enjoyment
to understand how things work on your bicycle. We urge
you to ask your dealer how to do the things described in
this section before you attempt them yourself, and that you
have your dealer check your work before you ride the bike.
If you have even the slightest doubt as to whether you
understand something in this section of the Manual,
talk to your dealer.
See also Appendix A, B and C.
A. Wheels
Bicycle wheels are designed to be removable for easier
transportation and for repair of a tire puncture. In most
cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called
“dropouts” in the fork and frame, but some mountain
and road bikes use what is called a “through axle” wheel
mounting system.
