3.1: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

Please refer to the specific component manufac-
turers manual or published technical information
about adjusting the components on your Whyte
bike. Instructions may be downloaded from the
relevant manufacturer's internet site, as shown
in the table to the right.
CAUTION! If you are uncertain in any
way, about making adjustments to any
components on you Whyte bike, then DO
NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE.
Contact your Whyte dealer who will be able to
advise you on how to go about setting up you
Whyte bike for riding, and or making adjust-
ments to the components fitted to your Whyte
bike.
3.2: WHYTE INTER GRIP SEAT CLAMP ADJUSTMENT & SERVICE
Tools Required:
Reference figures 2 to 7. The Inter Grip seat clamp design is present on most models of
Whyte full suspension mountain bikes. It allows adjustment of the saddle height & direction.
CAUTION! Avoid over-tightening the seat clamp.
In particular, "dropper" seat-posts such as SRAM Reverb may not work correctly if the seat
clamp is over tightened.
Figure 2. To adjust the seat height and/or direction, using the 5mm Allen key, undo the M6
Capscrew (1) just enough to allow the Seat Post (7) to slide freely up and down. Set the
height and/or direction to the desired level.
Figure 3. Re-tighten the M6 Capscrew (1) with the 5mm Allen Key in the Torque Wrench to
the 6Nm limit, as marked on the Plain Sleeve (2).
Figures 4 & 5. If a "dropper" seat-post is fitted, simultaneously depress the activation trigger
