3.0: PREPARATIONS FOR RIDING

3.1: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

Please refer to the specific component manufac-
turers manual or published technical information
about adjusting the components on your Whyte
bike. Instructions may be downloaded from the
relevant manufacturer's internet site, as shown in
the table to the right.
If you are uncertain in any way, about making
adjustments to any components on you Whyte
bike, then DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE. Contact your
Whyte dealer who will be able to advise you on
how to go about setting up you Whyte for riding,
and or making adjustments to the components
fitted to your Whyte.

3.2: SET UP OF FORK

Tools Required:
The front fork will be pre-set with the standard settings when
you buy your Whyte. Before riding, you will need to adjust the
Sag setting on the fork. This is to ensure the forks are set-up
correctly for your own body weight, so the fork will perform as
intended.
To set Sag on a front fork, you need to measure the amount the fork compresses when you
sit on the bike in the normal riding position. We recommend for the best performance to run
approximately (20%) Sag on the front fork.
Sag on and air sprung fork is controlled by adjusting the Air Spring pressure. We recommend
you refer to your forks owners manual or relevant website for detailed information about
your fork set up and performance relating to all controls and features of your fork.
