tice. Proceed carefully until you have learned to handle the

full capabilities of your bike.

WARNING: 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 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 “tubu-

lar” tires. Properly mount-

ing these tires requires

specialized knowledge and

skills. Ask your dealer to

teach you how to mount

tubulars before you at-

tempt it on your own. An

manufacturer’s instructions, see your dealer or contact

the manufacturer.

F) BICYCLE SUSPENSION

Many bicycles are equipped with suspension systems. 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 de-

velop also increases your risk of injury. For example, when brak-

ing, 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 allowing 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 capabili-

ties as a rider. Increasing your skill will take time and prac-
