KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial

effect on performance and comfort. To nd your best

saddle position, make only one adjustment at a time.

WARNING:

After any saddle adjustment, be sure that

the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened

before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp

can cause damage to the seat post, or can cause you

to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle

adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in

any direction. Periodically check to make sure that the

saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.

If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and

fore-and-aft position, your saddle is still uncomfortable, you

may need a different saddle design. Saddles, like people,

come in many different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your

dealer can help you select a saddle which, when correctly

adjusted for your body and riding style, will be comfortable.

WARNING:

Some people

have claimed that

extended riding with

a saddle which is

incorrectly adjusted

or which does not

support your pelvic

area correctly can

cause short-term

or long-term injury

to nerves and blood

vessels, or even impotence. If your saddle causes you

pain, numbness or other discomfort, listen to your

body and stop riding until you see your dealer about

saddle adjustment or a different saddle.

C) HANDLEBAR

HEIGHT AND ANGLE

Your bike is equipped

either with a “thread-

less” stem (g. 6), which

clamps on to the outside

of the steerer tube, or

with a “quill” stem (g.

7), which clamps inside

the steerer tube by way of

an expanding binder bolt.

If you aren’t absolutely

sure which type of stem your bike has, ask your dealer.

If your bike has a “threadless” stem, your dealer may be

able to change handlebar height by moving height adjust-

ment spacers from below the stem to above the stem, or

vice versa. Otherwise, you’ll have to get a stem of different

length or rise. Consult your dealer. Do not attempt to do this

yourself, as it requires special knowledge. If your bike has a

“quill” stem, you can ask your dealer to adjust the handle-

bar height a bit by adjusting stem height. A quill stem has

an etched or stamped mark on its shaft which designates

the stem’s “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum extension.”

This mark must not be visible above the headset

WARNING: A quill stem's Minimum Insertion Mark

must not be visible above the top of the headset. If the

stem is extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark

the stem may break or damage the fork's steerer tube,

which could cause you to lose control and fall.

WARNING: On some bicycles, changing the stem

or stem height can affect the tension of the front brake

cable, locking the front brake or creating excess cable

slack which can make the front brake inoperable.

If the front brake pads move in towards the wheel 13

If your leg is not completely

straight and just touching

the center of the pedal,

your saddle height needs

to be adjusted. If your hips

must rock for the heel to

reach the pedal, the saddle

is too high.

If your leg is bent at the

knee with your heel on the

pedal, the saddle is too low.

Ask your dealer to set the

saddle for your optimal

riding position and to show

you how to make this adjustment. If you choose to make

your own saddle height adjustment:

- loosen the seat post clamp

- raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube

- make sure the saddle is straight fore and aft

- re-tighten the seat post clamp to

the recommended

torque (see the manufacturer's

instructions).

Once the saddle is at the correct

height, make sure that the seatpost

does not project from the frame

beyond its “Minimum Insertion” or

“Maximum Extension” mark [Fig. 4].

2. Front and back adjustment. The

saddle can be adjusted forward or

back to help you get the optimal

position on the bike. Ask your

dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and

to show you how to make this adjustment. If you choose

to make your own front and back adjustment, make sure

that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part

of the saddle rails and is not touching the curved part of

the rails, and that you are using the recommended torque

on the clamping fastener(s) (see the manufacturer’s

instructions).

3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizon-

tal saddle; but some riders like the saddle nose angled up

or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle

or teach you how to do it. If you choose to make your

own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single bolt

saddle clamp on your seat post, it is critical that you loosen

the clamp bolt sufciently to allow any serrations on the

mechanism to disengage before changing the saddle’s

angle, and then that the serrations fully re-engage before

you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended torque

(see the manufacturer’s instructions).

WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments

with a single bolt saddle clamp, always check to

make sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces

of the clamp are not worn. Worn serrations on the

clamp can allow the saddle to move, causing you to

lose control and fall. 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.

NOTE:

If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seat

post, the suspension mechanism may require periodic

service or maintenance. Ask your dealer for recommended

service intervals for your suspension seat post.
