KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

WARNING: Toe Overlap could cause you to lose

control and fall. Ask your dealer to help you determine if

the combination of frame size, crank arm length, pedal

design and shoes you will use results in pedal overlap.

Whether you have overlap or not, you must keep the

inside pedal up and the outside pedal down when making

sharp turns.

2. Some bicycles come equipped with pedals that have

sharp and potentially dangerous surfaces. These surfaces

are designed to add safety by increasing adhesion

between the rider’s shoe and the pedal. If your bicycle

has this type of high-performance pedal, you must take

extra care to avoid serious injury from the pedals’ sharp

surfaces. Based on your riding style or skill level, you may

prefer a less aggressive pedal design, or chose to ride with

shin pads. Your dealer can show you a number of options

and make suitable recommendations.

3. Toeclips and straps are a means to keep feet correctly

positioned and engaged with the pedals. The toeclip

positions the ball of the foot over the pedal spindle, which

gives maximum pedaling power. The toe strap, when

tightened, keeps the foot engaged throughout the rotation

cycle of the pedal. While toeclips and straps give some

benet with any kind of shoe, they work most effectively

with cycling shoes designed for use with toeclips. Your

dealer can explain how toeclips and straps work. Shoes

with deep treaded soles or welts which might make it

more difcult for you to insert or remove your foot should

not be used with toeclips and straps.

WARNING: Getting into and out of pedals with

toeclips and straps requires skill which can only be

acquired with practice. Until it becomes a reex action,

the technique requires concentration which can distract

the rider’s attention, causing you to lose control and

fall. Practice the use of toeclips and straps where there 25

are no obstacles, hazards or trafc. Keep the straps

loose, and don’t tighten them until your technique and

condence in getting in and out of the pedals warrants

it. Never ride in trafc with your toe straps tight.

4. Clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”)

are another means to keep feet securely in the correct

position for maximum pedaling efciency. They have a

plate, called a “cleat,” on the sole of the shoe, which clicks

into a mating spring-loaded xture on the pedal. They

only engage or disengage with a very specic motion

which must be practiced until it becomes instinctive.

Clipless pedals require shoes and cleats which are

compatible with the make and model pedal being used.

Many clipless pedals are designed to allow the rider

to adjust the amount of force needed to engage or

disengage the foot. Follow the pedal manufacturer’s

instructions, or ask your dealer to show you how to make

this adjustment. Use the easiest setting until engaging

and disengaging becomes a reex action, but always

make sure that there is sufcient tension to prevent

unintended release of your foot from the pedal.

WARNING: Clipless pedals are intended for use

with shoes specically made to t them and are

designed to rmly keep the foot engaged with the

pedal. Do not use shoes which do not engage the

pedals correctly.

Practice is required to learn to engage and disengage

the foot safely. Until engaging and disengaging the

foot becomes a reex action, the technique requires

concentration which can distract the rider’s attention,

causing the rider to lose control and fall. Practice

engaging and disengaging clipless pedals in a place

where there are no obstacles, hazards or trafc; and

be sure to follow the pedal manufacturer’s setup
