ADJUSTING THE WHYTE 19 TRAIL DROPOUT SYSTEM: Fig.4 4a,4b,4c,4d
Tools Required:
The Whyte 19 dropout system enables a rider to adjust the bike's Chain stay length. This
allows the rider to tune the handling characteristics to their preference, or when used in
conjunction with the Single Speed RH Dropout Plate (7), a single speed drive-train can be
used without the need for a chain tensioner device because the dropouts (3,6,7) can be
adjusted to tension the chain exactly.
