3.5: ADJUSTING THE WHYTE 19 TRAIL DROPOUT SYSTEM
ADJUSTING THE WHYTE 19 TRAIL DROPOUT SYSTEM: Fig.4 4a,4b,4c,4d
Tools Required:
5mm A/F Allen Key
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.

Bolt-up Type: Fig.2
Tools Required:
5mm Allen Key
(Note, refer to the seat-pin manufacturers instructions in conjunction with these notes).
To adjust the seat height, using the 5mm Allen key, undo the M6 bolt (5) just enough to
allow the seat-pin to slide freely up and down. Set the height to the desired level, and re-
tighten the M6 bolt (5) with the 5mm Allen Key just enough so as to prevent the seat-pin
from slipping down and twisting.
QR Lever Type: Fig.3
No tools required.
(Note, refer to the seat-pin manufacturers instructions in conjunction with these notes).
