KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

B. Seat Post Cam Action Clamp

Some bikes are equipped with a cam action seat post

binder. The seat post cam action binder works exactly like

the traditional wheel cam action fastener (Section 4.A.2)

While a cam action binder looks like a long bolt with a

lever on one end and a nut on the other, the binder uses

an over-center cam action to rmly clamp the seat post

(see g. 8a).

WARNING: Riding with an improperly tightened

seat post can allow the saddle to turn or move and

cause you to lose control and fall. Therefore:

1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know

how to correctly clamp your seat post.

2. Understand and apply the correct technique for

clamping your seat post.

3. Before you ride the bike, rst check that the seat

post is securely clamped.

Adjusting the seat post cam action mechanism

The action of the cam squeezes the seat collar around

the seat post to hold the seat post securely in place. The

amount of clamping force is controlled by the tension

adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting nut clock-

wise while keeping the cam lever from rotating increases

clamping force; turning it counterclockwise while keeping

the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less

than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the

difference between safe and unsafe clamping force.

WARNING: The full force of the cam action is

needed to clamp the seat post securely. Holding the

nut with one hand and turning the lever like a wing nut

with the other hand until everything is as tight as you

can get it will not clamp the seat post safely.

WARNING: If you can fully close the cam lever

without wrapping your ngers around the seat post or

a frame tube for leverage, and the lever does not leave

a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is

insufcient. Open the lever; turn the tension adjusting

nut clockwise a quarter turn; then try again.

C) BRAKES

WARNING: 1. Riding with improperly adjusted

brakes, worn brake pads, or wheels on which the rim

wear mark is visible is dangerous and can result in

serious injury or death.

2. Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock

up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control and

fall. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake

may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may

result in serious injury or death.

3. Some bicycle brakes, such as disc brakes (g. 11)

and linear-pull brakes (g. 12), are extremely power-

ful. Take extra care in becoming familiar with these

brakes and exercise particular care when using them.

4. Some bicycle brakes are equipped with a brake force

modulator, a small, cylindrical device through which

the brake control cable runs and which is designed to

provide a more progressive application of braking force.

A modulator makes the initial brake lever force more

gentle, progressively increasing

force until full force is achieved. If

your bike is equipped with a brake

force modulator, take extra care in

becoming familiar with its perfor-

mance characteristics.

5. Disc brakes can get extremely

hot with extended use. Be careful

not to touch a disc brake until it

has had plenty of time to cool.
