KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
The Schraeder valve [Fig. 18a] is like the valve on a
car tire. To inate a Schraeder valve tire remove the
valve cap and clamp the pump tting onto the end
of the valve stem. To let air out of a Schraeder valve,
depress the pin in the end of the valve stem with the
end of a key or other appropriate object.
The Presta valve [Fig. 18b] has a narrower
diameter and is only found on bicycle tires. To
inate a Presta valve tube using a Presta headed
bicycle pump, remove the valve cap; unscrew
(counterclockwise) the valve stem lock nut; and
push down on the valve stem to free it up. Then push the
pump head on to the valve head, and inate. To inate a
Presta valve with a Schraeder pump tting, you’ll need a
Presta adapter (available at your bike shop) which screws
on to the valve stem once you’ve freed up the valve. The
adapter ts into the Schraeder pump tting. Close the
valve after ination. To let air out of a Presta valve, open
up the valve stem lock nut and depress the valve stem.
WARNING: We highly recommend that you carry
a spare inner tube when you ride your bike, unless
the bike is tted with tubeless tires. Patching a tube
is an emergency repair. If you do not apply the patch
correctly or apply several patches, the tube can fail,
resulting in possible tube failure, which could cause
you to loose control and fall. Replace a patched tube
as soon as possible.
5. SERVICE
WARNING: Technological advances have made
bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and
the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible
for this manual to provide all the information required
to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle.
In order to help minimize the chances of an accident and
possible injury, it is critical that you have any repair or
maintenance which is not specically described in this
manual performed by your dealer. Equally important
is that your individual maintenance requirements will
be determined by everything from your riding style to
geographic location. Consult your dealer for help in
determining your maintenance requirements.
WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks
require special knowledge and tools. Do not begin any
adjustments or service on your bicycle learned from
your dealer how to properly complete them. Improper
adjustment or service may result in damage to the bi-
cycle or in an accident which can cause serious
injury or death.
If you want to learn to do major service and repair work
on your bike, you have three options:
1. Ask your dealer for copies of the manufacturer’s
installation and service instructions for the components on
your bike, or contact the component manufacturer.
2. Ask your dealer to recommend a book on bicycle repair.
3. Ask your dealer about the availability of bicycle repair
courses in your area.
Regardless of which option you select, we recommend
that you ask your dealer to check the quality of your work
the rst time you work on something and before you
vvride the bike, just to make sure that you did everything
correctly. Since that will require the time of a mechanic,
there may be a modest charge for this service. We also
recommend that you ask your dealer for guidance on
what spare parts, such as inner tubes, light bulbs, etc.
it would be appropriate for you to have once you have
learned how to replace such parts when they require
replacement.
