Safety - Whyte C-7 Ridgeway Men’s Supplementary Service Manual

4.0: SAFETY

IMPORTANT: The following are intended to be advisory notes on the safe use of your
Whyte bike. You should also read thoroughly the General Instruction Manual also supplied
with your new bike. If at any stage you are uncertain about the safety or safe operation of
the bike as a whole, or any specific component, then DO NOT RIDE YOUR WHYTE and
instead please consult the specific component manufacturers instruction manual or your
Whyte Dealer for advice.
Maximum Rider Weight Limit for this range of Whyte Bikes: 19 Stone/120kg
WARNING: As is the case with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected
to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear
and stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been ex-
ceeded, it may fail suddenly causing possible injury to the rider. Any form of crack,
scratches and decolouring in highly stresses areas are showing that the component
has exhausted its life time and has to bstandard equipment. It is NOT PERMITTED to
convert the braking system to a rim brake type, since the frame has only been test-
ed for disc brake use and also because the e replaced. If you are in any doubt about
one or more components on your Whyte DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE. Consult the
specific component manufacturers literature, or take your bike to your local Whyte
Dealer.
CAUTION: These bikes have disc brakes as wheel rims are not suitable to be used
as a braking surface. Making such a modification of components will also void the
warranty.
