sure that what you want to do is compatible with the

bicycle’s design, and whether the warranty will be voided.

Failing to do so can result in catastrophic frame failure.

G) SERVICE NOTES FOR KONA DUAL SUSPENSION

• While Kona suspension systems are very torsionally

rigid and require less maintenance than a single pivot

design, bearings and bushings will wear out. Bushing

kits and replacement rear stays are available from Kona.

• Cartridge bearings give the suspension a smoother ride.

These bearings also require more attention than do

bushings. Contaminated bearings can rust & seize, and

cause frame damage. Regularly inspect the bearings and

make sure that they allow the linkage to move freely.

H) TIRES AND TUBES

WARNING: Some bicycles intended for competition

are tted with tires which are glued on to specially

made rims. These are called “sew-up” or “tubular”

tires. Properly mounting

these tires requires spe-

cialized knowledge and

skills. Ask your dealer to

teach you how to mount

tubulars before you at-

tempt it on your own. An

incorrectly installed tubu-

lar tire can come off the

rim, causing you to lose

control and fall.

1. TIRES: Bicycle tires are

available in many designs

and specications, ranging

from general-purpose de-

There are many different types of suspension systems —

too many to deal with individually in this Manual. If your

bicycle has a suspension system of any kind, be sure to

read and follow the suspension manufacturer’s setup and

service instructions. If you do not have the manufacturer’s

instructions, see your dealer or contact the manufacturer.

WARNING: Failure to maintain, check and properly

adjust the suspension system may result in suspension

malfunction, which may cause you to lose control and fall.

If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may

develop also increases your risk of injury. For example,

when braking, the front of a suspended bike dips. You

could lose control and fall if you do not have experience

with this system. Learn to handle your suspension system

safely [see also Section 4.C].

WARNING: Changing suspension adjustment can

change the handling and braking characteristics of your

bicycle. Never change suspension adjustment unless

you are thoroughly familiar with the suspension system

manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations, and

always check for changes in the handling and braking

characteristics of the bicycle after a suspension adjust-

ment by taking a careful test ride in a hazard-free area.

Suspension can increase control and comfort by allow-

ing the wheels to better follow the terrain. This enhanced

capability may allow you to ride faster; but you must

not confuse the enhanced capabilities of the bicycle with

your own capabilities as a rider. Increasing your skill will

take time and practice. Proceed carefully until you have

learned to handle the full capabilities of your bike.

CAUTION: Not all bicycles can be safely retrotted with

some types of suspension systems. Before retrotting the

suspension of any Kona bicycle, check with Kona to make
