KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

B) SEATPOST CAM ACTION CLAMP

Some bikes are equipped with a cam action seatpost

binder, also commonly referred to as a "seatpost quick re-

lease." The seatpost cam action binder works exactly like

the traditional wheel cam action fastener (Section 4.A.2)

While a cam action binder looks like a long bolt with a

lever on one end and a nut on the other, the binder uses

an over-center cam action to rmly clamp the seatpost

(see g. 8a).

WARNING: Riding with an improperly tightened

seatpost can allow the saddle to turn or move and

cause you to lose control and fall. Therefore:

1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know

how to correctly clamp your seatpost.

2. Understand and apply the correct technique for

clamping your seatpost.

3. Before you ride the bike, rst check that the seat-

post is securely clamped.

Adjusting the seatpost cam action mechanism

The action of the cam squeezes the seat collar around

the seatpost to hold the seatpost securely in place. The

amount of clamping force is controlled by the tension

adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting nut clock-

wise while keeping the cam lever from rotating increases

clamping force; turning it counterclockwise while keeping

the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less

than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the

difference between safe and unsafe clamping force.

WARNING: The full force of the cam action is

needed to clamp the seatpost securely. Holding the nut

with one hand and turning the lever like a wing nut

with the other hand until everything is as tight as you

can get it will not clamp the seatpost safely.

WARNING: If you can fully close the cam lever

without wrapping your ngers around the seatpost or

a frame tube for leverage, and the lever does not leave

a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is

insufcient. Open the lever; turn the tension adjusting

nut clockwise a quarter turn; then try again.

C) BRAKES

There are two general types of bicycle brakes: rim brakes,

which operate by squeezing the wheel rim between two

brake pads; and disc brakes, which operate by squeezing

a hub-mounted disc between two brake pads. Both can be

operated by way of a handlebar-mounted lever.

WARNING:

1. Riding with improperly adjusted brakes, worn brake

pads, or wheels on which the rim wear mark is visible is

dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.

2. Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up

a wheel, which could cause you to lose control and fall.

Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may

pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may result in

serious injury or death.

3. Some bicycle brakes, such

as disc brakes (g. 11) and

linear-pull brakes (g. 12),

are extremely powerful. Take

extra care in becoming familiar

with these brakes and exercise

particular care when using them.

4. Disc brakes can get extremely

hot with extended use. Be care-

ful not to touch a disc brake until

it has had plenty of time to cool.
