Safety - Whyte MTB Hardtail Series Supplementary Service Manual

immediately the load is released. We recommend the optimum setting is to adjust the re-bound
damping to be as slow as possible, but not so slow that the normal ride height is not recovered.
On very rough terrain, if the bike becomes progressively lower as more bumps are hit then the re
-bound damping is set too slow. On the other hand if the bike feels choppy and not plush then
the re-bound damping is too fast. A bit of trial and error is needed to get the exact setting.

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 exceeded, it may fail
suddenly causing possible injury to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches and decolouring
in high stress 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 specific component manufacturers literature, or take
