Before You Ride; Know Your Bike - Whyte 905 Instruction Manual

Know Your Bike

There are three types of bikes in the Whyte range. The
pictures help to identify the type of bicycle you own:
A mountain bike (MTB) has a "flat" handlebar and wide,
knobbly tyres. It may have front suspension, rear sus-
pension, or both. It has either 29", 27.5" (650b) or 26"
nominal diameter wheels. See figure 1.
A city bike is a cross between a road bike and an MTB,
fitted with a "flat" handlebar and medium-width road
tires on 700c or 26" nominal wheel diameters. See fig-
ure 2.
A road bike or cyclo-cross bike is fitted with a "drop"
handlebar and small-width road tires on 700c wheel
diameters. See figure 3.
There are many different components in your Whyte
bike. They are identified in figure 4, so as to help you
elsewhere in this manual.
