To reassemble the Whyte Getta-Grip Seat Clamp, follow the dis-assembly procedure in
reverse.
6.2 Whyte Inter-grip or Verti-grip Seat Clamp
Reference figure 2 on page 11.
Tools required: 1 off 5mm Allen Key,
1 off small flat-blade screwdriver
Undo the M6 Cap-screw (1) by 7 turns, then push it into the plain Inter Grip Sleeve (4), so
that the threaded Inter-Grip Sleeve (2) is pushed out of the opposite end of the Inter Grip
hole. Undo the M6 Cap-screw (1) completely from the threaded Sleeve (2) and then pull
the Sleeve out of the assembly completely. Whilst holding the Inter-Grip Pad (5) in place
with the M6 Cap-screw (1), manoeuvre with the screwdriver the Inter-Grip Pad (5) from
the left side of the Main Frame (6). Place the M6 x 30 long Cap-screw (1) diagonally
through the hole in the Main Frame (6) & onto the Plain Sleeve (4). Then push the Plain
Sleeve (4) all the way out of the right side of the Main Frame (6). The ‘O’ rings (3) may be
removed from the Threaded Sleeve (4) and the Plain Sleeve (2), using the small size flat-
blade screwdriver.
To re- assemble the Inter Grip seat clamp, coat the ‘O’ rings (3) with a small quantity of
grease. Carefully fit the ‘O’ rings (3) into the grooves in the Threaded Sleeve (4) and the
Plain Sleeve (2). Also place some grease onto the threaded end of the M6 Cap-screw (1).
Place the Grip Pad (5) into the hole in the Main Frame (6) such that the curved face is to-
wards the seat tube in the Main Frame (6). Insert the Seat Post (not shown) to help align
the Grip Pad (4). From the left side of the Main Frame (6), insert the Plain Sleeve (2) and
make sure the 45° angled edge on the Plain Sleeve (2) touches the 45° angled edge on the
Pad (5). Move to the right side of the Main Frame (6) and insert the Threaded Sleeve (4),
aligning the 45° angled edge to touch the 45° angled edge on the Grip Pad (5). Place the
M6 Capscrew (1) through the Threaded Sleeve (4), the Pad (5) & screw into the Threaded
Sleeve (4).
Note: Both of the Sleeves (2 & 4) should be nearly flush with the edge of the hole in the
Main Frame (6) when the assembly goes tight. If this is not the case, one or other of the
four 45° angled edges are not touching each other, so re-align as necessary to make sure
both of the Sleeves (2 & 4) are nearly flush.
Then follow the instructions in section 3.2 to set the height and direction of the Seat Post
(not shown).
