KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

(2) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel
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.
