KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

two inches (5 cm).

A bike that you’ll ride on

unpaved surfaces should

give you a minimum of

three inches (7.5 cm) of

standover height clearance.

And a bike that you’ll use

off road should give you

four inches (10 cm) or

more of clearance.

2. Step-through frame

bicycles

Standover height does

not apply to bicycles with step-through frames. Instead,

the limiting dimension is determined by saddle height

range. You must be able to adjust your saddle position

as described in B without exceeding the limits set by

the height of the top of the seat tube and the ”Minimum

Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark on the seat post.

B) SADDLE POSITION

Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in

getting the most performance and comfort from your

bicycle. If the saddle position is not comfortable for you,

see your dealer, who has the tools and skill to change it.

The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:

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.

WARNING: Failure to conrm compatibility,

properly install, operate and maintain any component

or accessory can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION: Changing the components on your

bike may void the warranty. Refer to your warranty,

and check with your dealer before changing the

components on your bike.

3. FIT

NOTE: Correct t is an essential element of bicycling

safety, performance and comfort. Making the

adjustments to your bicycle which result in correct

t for your body and riding conditions requires

experience, skill and special tools. Always have your

dealer make the adjustments on your bicycle; or, if you

have the experience, skill and tools, have your dealer

check your work before riding.

WARNING: If your bicycle does not t properly,

you may lose control and fall. If your new bike doesn’t

t, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.

A) STANDOVER HEIGHT

1. Diamond frame bicycles

Standover height is the basic element of bike t. It is

the distance from the ground to the top of the bicycle’s

frame at that point where your crotch is when straddling

the bike. To check for correct standover height, straddle

the bike while wearing the kind of shoes in which you’ll

be riding, and bounce vigorously on your heels. If your

crotch touches the frame, the bike is too big for you.

Don’t even ride the bike around the block. A bike which

you ride only on paved surfaces and never take off-road

should give you a minimum standover height clearance of 11

aggressive riding. Check with your dealer or the bicycle’s

manufacturer about the suitability of your bicycle before

engaging in extreme riding.

When riding fast down hill, you can reach speeds seen on

motorcycles, and therefore face similar hazards and risks.

Have your bicycle and equipment carefully inspected by a

qualied mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition.

Consult with expert riders and race ofcials on conditions

and equipment advisable at the site where you plan to ride.

Wear appropriate safety gear, including an approved full

face helmet, full nger gloves, and body armor. Ultimately,

it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to be

familiar with course conditions.

WARNING: Although many catalogs,

advertisements and articles about bicycling depict

riders engaged in extreme riding, this activity is

extremely dangerous, increases your risk of injury

or death, and increases the severity of any injury.

Remember that the action depicted is being performed

by professionals with many years of training and

experience. Know your limits and always wear a

helmet and other appropriate safety gear. Even with

state-of-the-art protective safety gear, you could be

seriously injured or killed when jumping, stunt riding,

riding downhill at speed or in competition.

CAUTION: Bicycles and bicycle parts have

limitations with regard to strength and integrity, and

this type of riding can exceed those limitations or

dramatically reduce the length of their safe use.

We recommend against this type of riding because of the

increased risks; but if you choose to take the risk, at least:

• Take lessons from a competent instructor rst.

• Start with easy learning exercises and slowly develop

your skills before trying more difcult or dangerous

riding

• Use only designated areas for stunts, jumping, racing or

fast downhill riding

• Wear a full face helmet, safety pads and other

safety gear.

• Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on

your bike by this kind of activity may break or damage

parts of the bicycle and void the warranty.

• Take your bicycle to your dealer if anything breaks

or bends. Do not ride your bicycle when any part is

damaged.

If you ride downhill at speed, do stunt riding or ride in

competition, know the limits of your skill and experience.

Ultimately, avoiding injury is your responsibility.

G) CHANGING COMPONENTS OR

ADDING ACCESSORIES

There are many components and accessories available

to enhance the comfort, performance and appearance of

your bicycle. However, if you change components or add

accessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle’s

manufacturer may not have tested that component or

accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on your

bicycle. Before installing any component or accessory,

including a different size tire, make sure that it is

compatible with your bicycle by checking with your dealer.

Be sure to read, understand and follow the instructions

that accompany the products you purchase for your

bicycle. See also Appendix A, p. 33 and B, p. 38.
