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 be replaced. If you are in any doubt about one
or more components on your Whyte DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE. Consult the specif-
ic component manufacturers literature, or take your bike to your local Whyte Dealer.
