3.0: PREPARATIONS FOR RIDING

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.
This electric range of bikes are fitted with the
Shimano Steps E6000 series of components.
Shimano publish comprehensive instructions for
these products, which are available from the
http://si.shimano.com website, under the E-Bike section on that webpage. User manual UM-
70H0A-002-00 and Dealer manual DM-SP0001-03 are particularly relevant.
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 for riding, and or making adjustments
to the components fitted to your Whyte.

3.2: SET UP OF FORK

Tools Required:
The front fork will be pre-set with the standard settings when you buy your Whyte. Before
riding, you will need to adjust the Sag setting on the fork. This is to ensure the forks are set-
up correctly for your own body weight, so the fork will perform as intended.
To set Sag on a front fork, you need to measure the amount
the fork compresses when you sit on the bike in the normal
riding position. We recommend for the best performance to run
approximately (20%) Sag on the front fork.
Sag on and air sprung fork is controlled by adjusting the Air
Spring pressure. We recommend you refer to your forks owners manual or relevant website
for detailed information about your fork set up and performance relating to all controls and
features of your fork.
Rebound Damping adjustment:
This adjustment fine-tunes the speed at which the wheel returns to its normal ride height
after hitting a bump. To demonstrate the effect of this function, turn the rebound adjuster to
its slowest setting. Press down on the handlebars to compress the forks, then release the
