KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

and needs to be replaced. While the materials and

workmanship of your bicycle or of individual components

may be covered by a warranty for a specied period of

time by the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the

product will last the term of the warranty. Product life

is often related to the kind of riding you do and to the

treatment to which you submit the bicycle. The bicycle’s

warranty is not meant to suggest that the bicycle cannot

be broken or will last forever. It only means that the

bicycle is covered subject to the terms of the warranty.

Please be sure to read Appendix B, Lifespan of Your Bike

and its Components, starting on page 38.

5. As required: If either brake lever fails the Mechanical

Safety Check [Section 1.C], don’t ride the bike. Have your

dealer check the brakes.

If the chain won’t shift smoothly and quietly from gear to

gear, the derailleur is out of adju stment. See your dealer.

Every 25 (hard off-road) to 50 (on-road) hours of

riding: Take your bike to your dealer for a complete checkup.

B) IF YOUR BICYCLE SUSTAINS AN IMPACT

First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as

best you can. Seek medical help if necessary.

Next, check your bike for damage. After any crash,

take your bike to your dealer for a thorough check.

Carbon composite components, including fames, wheels,

handlebars, stems, cranksets, brakes, etc. which have

sustained an impact must not be ridden until they

have been disassembled and thoroughly inspected by a

qualied mechanic. See also Appendix B, Lifespan of Your

Bike and its Components [p.38].

WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extra-

ordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them

to fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from

stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically,

causing loss of control, serious injury or death.

6. ABOUT YOUR KONA DEALER

Your dealer is here to help you get the bike and

accessories which are most appropriate for the kind of

riding that you intend to do; and to help you maintain

your equipment so that you can get the maximum

enjoyment from it. Your bike shop’s staff has the

knowledge, tools and experience to give you reliable

advice and competent service. Your dealer carries the

products of a variety of manufacturers so that you can

have the choices which best meet your needs and

your budget.

But your dealer’s staff can’t make decisions for you;

nor can they assume responsibility for your lack of

knowledge, experience, skill or common sense. They

can explain to you how something works, or what part

or accessory will meet your special needs, but they can’t

know your questions or your needs unless you tell them.

If you have a problem with your bike or your riding, talk

to your dealer. Make sure that the dealer understands

your problem or question, and make sure that you really

understand the answers.

A) COMFORT & PERFORMANCE ACCESSORIES

Once the bike t (frame size, saddle position and angle, stem

length and rise) is correct, the saddle becomes the single

most important comfort accessory.

The comfort of a bicycle saddle depends much more on how

the saddle shape relates to the rider’s body than on the

thickness or material of the padding. Bicycle manufacturers

select a saddle shape based on their best guess of what’s

likely to be comfortable for most buyers of that particular 31

bicycle model. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to be the

most comfortable shape for you. That’s why your dealer

stocks saddles which offer a variety of shapes, padding,

covering materials and prices. If the saddle on your new bike

is uncomfortable, ask your dealer to suggest an alternative.

If you’re planning to spend an hour or more at a time on your

bike, get a pair of cycling gloves. Their padded palms help

keep your hands from getting numb from the vibration of the

handlebars (the numbness, called carpal tunnel syndrome,

can become quite painful if not taken care of), and they’ll

provide some abrasion protection for your hands if you fall.

Cycling shorts and cycling jerseys are both performance

and comfort accessories. There are two kinds of cycling

shorts: the traditional skin-tight Lycra shorts and loose-t

cycling shorts. Both are designed to reduce friction and

chang. The washable pad in the crotch of the shorts both

cushions and protects against chang. Wear them without

underwear to avoid the undergarment’s bunching up and

chang. Also available are undergarments designed to

reduce chang when worn with regular street clothes. The

jerseys have pockets in the back, so that the things you

carry don’t bang around when you ride. Many are made

of special materials with properties that improve riding

comfort and performance.

It’s important to drink plenty of liquids before and during

exercise. A water bottle is an essential companion on a

longer ride

Your dealer has many other comfort and performance

accessories that can increase your cycling enjoyment.
