Reference figure 2 on page 10.
Tools required: 1 off 2mm A/F Allen Key
To disassemble, first release the Quick Release (QR) Lever (3) and unscrew the Adjuster
(7) from the Stud (8). Withdraw the QR Lever assembly whilst holding the T-Pad (9) in
place, so that it doesn't fall into the seat tube (5). Remove the Band (6) from the Seat
Tube (5). Remove the T-Pad (9) from the Seat Tube (5). To disassemble the QR Lever,
using the 2mm A/F Allen Key undo the Grub Screw (1) from the Lever Cam (2). The Stud
(8) may now be unscrewed from the Lever Cam (2).
6.2

Whyte Inter-grip Seat Clamp

Reference figure 3 on page 11.
Tools required: 1 off 5mm Allen Key,
1 off small flat-blade screwdriver
Undo the M6 Cap-screw (1) by 7 turns, then push it into the plain Inter Grip Sleeve (4), so that the
threaded Inter-Grip Sleeve (2) is pushed out of the opposite end of the Inter Grip hole. Undo the M6
Cap-screw (1) completely from the threaded Sleeve (2) and then pull the Sleeve out of the assembly
completely. Whilst holding the Inter-Grip Pad (5) in place with the M6 Cap-screw (1), manoeuvre with
the screwdriver the Inter-Grip Pad (5) from the left side of the Main Frame (6). Place the M6 x 30 long
Cap-screw (1) diagonally through the hole in the Main Frame (6) & onto the Plain Sleeve (4). Then push
the Plain Sleeve (4) all the way out of the right side of the Main Frame (6).
The 'O' rings (3) may be removed from the Threaded Sleeve (4) and the Plain Sleeve (2), using the
small size flat-blade screwdriver.
To re-assemble the Inter Grip seat clamp, coat the 'O' rings (3) with a small quantity of grease. Careful-
ly fit the 'O' rings (3) into the grooves in the Threaded Sleeve (4) and the Plain Sleeve (2). Also place
some grease onto the threaded end of the M6 Cap-screw (1). Place the Grip Pad (5) into the hole in the
Main Frame (6) such that the curved face is towards the seat tube in the Main Frame (6). Insert the
Seat Post (not shown) to help align the Grip Pad (4). From the left side of the Main Frame (6), insert
the Plain Sleeve (2) and make sure the 45° angled edge on the Plain Sleeve (2) touches the 45° angled
edge on the Pad (5). Move to the right side of the Main Frame (6) and insert the Threaded Sleeve (4),
aligning the 45° angled edge to touch the 45° angled edge on the Grip Pad (5). Place the M6 Capscrew
(1) through the Threaded Sleeve (4), the Pad (5) & screw into the Threaded Sleeve (4).
Note: Both of the Sleeves (2 & 4) should be nearly flush with the edge of the hole in the Main Frame (6)
when the assembly goes tight. If this is not the case, one or other of the four 45° angled edges are not
touching each other, so re-align as necessary to make sure
both of the Sleeves (2 & 4) are nearly flush.
Then follow the instructions in section 3.3 to set the height and direction of the Seat Post (not shown).
