KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

THANK YOU for buying a Kona. A bicycle is a wonderful
tool for transportation and recreation. We hope that you
will ride it often and have a great deal of use and enjoy-
ment from your purchase. This manual contains important
safety, performance and maintenance information.
IMPORTANT: Read this manual before taking your î‚żrst
ride on your new bicycle, and keep this manual handy
for future reference.
NOTE: This manual is not intended as a comprehensive
use, service repair or service manual. Please see your
dealer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your dealer
may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books
on bicycle use, service or maintenance.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL: This owner’s manual was prepared
with your safety as our î‚żrst consideration. A great deal
of the text was prepared by a group of US-based bicycle
manufacturers and distributors. Those sections are copy-
righted by Kona Bicycle Company and the other companies
using the same text, and may not be reproduced without
the written consent of Kona Bicycle Company.
In addition to safety, many bicycle manufacturers and dis-
tributors are concerned with the alarming number of product
liability cases brought forwards over the last 5 years. Because
American and Canadian attorneys are entitled to mount these
cases on a contingency basis, many larger manufacturers
and distributors have been marked as deep pocket targets for
what in many cases, turn out to have been the responsibility
of the bicycle rider. Even the most frivolous cases are costly
to the manufacturer and distributor, which additionally result
in higher insurance premiums, and eventually, higher bicycle
prices. The Consumer Product and Safety Commission has
undertaken a variety of studies that î‚żnd that, for the most
part, bicycles are well-made and safe vehicles.
These studies conclude that many serious and minor ac-
cidents could be prevented by the use of helmets. It should
also be noted that ACCIDENTS CAN ALSO BE PREVENTED
BY PROPER INSTRUCTION OF BICYCLE USE AND MAINTE-
NANCE. Your Kona dealer will provide you with basic instruc-
tions to get you safely started. In addition, we strongly
recommend that YOU READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL PAYING
PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
So hang in there while you wade through the legalese.
Yes we are trying to protect ourselves against unreasonable
lawsuits, but we are concerned about your safety. That is
why we add a great deal of general and Kona-speciî‚żc
information about safe and enjoyable cycling instead of
blandly reproducing a generic owner’s manual.
Kona was started in 1988 by a group of cyclists dedicated
to producing high-quality custom bikes based on our long-
time experience in the sport and business of cycling. Kona’s
headquarters are located in the temperate rain forest of the
Paciî‚żc Northwest region of the United States and Canada
—
an area that is ideal for developing and testing durable
bicycles that provide superior performance. The Kona
Design Group within our company, is responsible on a
day-to-day basis for testing new frames and components
that are worthy of being incorporated into our bicycles.
We believe in constantly improving and reî‚żning our
bicycles and components and welcome your comments
and complaints. We believe that giving good service to our
customers is just as important as designing and making
good bicycles. It is our mission to help make your cycling
experiences safe and enjoyable and part of that mission
is to make it possible for you to do that as frequently as
possible. If for any reason you are not satisî‚żed with the
quality of any part of your bicycle or the service given to
you by Kona or one of our dealers, please let us know.

KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and
damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume
the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know —
and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding
and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and
maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions”
concerning the consequences of failure to maintain
or inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe
cycling practices.
• The combination of the safety alert symbol and
the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death.
• The combination of the safety alert symbol and
the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
• The word CAUTION used without the safety alert
symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could
result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of
your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose
control and fall”. Because any fall can result in serious
injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or
condition which can occur while riding, this Manual makes
no representation about the safe use of the bicycle under
all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of
any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and
which are the sole responsibility of the rider. 2
A Special Note for Parents:
WARNING: This manual does not cover Juvenile
or BMX bicycles.
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the ac-
tivities and safety of your minor child, and that includes
making sure that the bicycle is properly î‚żtted to the child;
that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that
you and your child have learned and understand the safe
operation of the bicycle; and that you and your child have
learned, understand and obey not only the applicable
local motor vehicle, bicycle and trafî‚żc laws, but also the
common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling.
As a parent, you should read this manual, as well as
review its warnings and the bicycle’s functions and oper-
ating procedures with your child, before letting your child
ride the bicycle.
WARNING: Make sure that your child always wears
an approved bicycle helmet when riding; but also make
sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet is
for bicycling only, and must be removed when not riding.
A helmet must not be worn while playing, in play areas,
on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at
any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious injury or death.

1. FIRST — BEFORE YOU RIDE
NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this Manual in its
entirety before your î‚żrst ride; but at the very least,
read and make sure that you understand each point
in this section, and refer to the cited sections on
any issue which you don’t completely understand.
Please note that not all bicycles have all of the features
described in this Manual. Ask your dealer to point out
the features of your bicycle.
A) BIKE FIT
1. Is your bike the right size? To check, see Section 3.A.
If your bicycle is too large or too small for you, you may
lose control and fall. If your new bike is not the right size,
ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.
2. Is the saddle at the right height? To check, see Section
3.B. If you adjust your saddle height, make sure that you
follow the Minimum Insertion instructions in Section 3.B.
3. Are saddle and seatpost securely clamped? A correctly
tightened saddle will allow no saddle movement in any
direction [see Section 3.B for details].
4. Are the stem and handlebars at the right height for
you? If not, see Section 3.C on what you can do about it.
5. Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, you
may be able to adjust their angle and reach [see Section
3.D and 3.E for details].
6. Do you fully understand how to operate your new
bicycle? If not, before your î‚żrst ride, have your
dealer explain any functions or features which you
do not understand.
B) SAFETY FIRST!
1. Always wear an approved helmet when riding your
bike, and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions
for î‚żt, use and care of your helmet.
2. Do you have all the other required and recommended
safety equipment? See Section 2. It’s your responsibility
to familiarize yourself with the laws of the areas where
you ride, and to comply with all applicable laws.
3. Do you know how to correctly secure your front and
rear wheels? Check Section 4.A.1 to make sure. Riding
with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can
cause the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle,
and cause serious injury or death.
4. If your bike has toeclips and straps or clipless “step-in”
pedals, make sure you know how they work [see Section
4.E]. These pedals require special techniques and skills.
Follow the pedal manufacturer’s instructions for use,
adjustment and care.
5. Does your bike have suspension? If so, check Section
4.F. Suspension can change the way a bicycle performs.
Follow the suspension manufacturer’s instructions for use,
adjustment and care.
6. Do you have “toe overlap”? On smaller framed bicycles
your toe or toeclip may be able to contact the front
wheel when a pedal is all the way forward and the wheel
is turned. Read Section 4.E. to check whether you have
toeclip overlap.
