General Instruction Manual
CAUTION: Never move the derailleur shifter while pedaling
backward, nor pedal backwards immediately after having
moved the shifter. This could jam the chain and cause serious
damage to the bicycle.
For internal gear hub transmission, on the indicator near the thumb lever the gear
indicated “1” is for the steepest hills. The numerically largest gear is for the greatest
speed.
Extreme gear combinations
This concerns transmissions with three front chainrings.
CAUTION:
To avoid excessive noise, wear and damage of the
derailleur transmission, we advise not to use these gear
combinations:
Largest chain wheel – largest sprocket (
figure 29
)
Smallest chain wheel – smallest sprocket (
figure 30
)
Pedals
Toe Overlap.
Place your foot in a pedal, keep your foot horizontal and turn the crank as far for-
ward as it will go. Now turn the handlebars so that the front wheel is near the front
of your foot. If they touch, this is known as toe overlap. It is common on small-
framed bicycles. It is avoided by keeping the inside pedal up and the outside pedal
down when making sharp turns. On any bicycle, this technique will also prevent the
inside pedal from striking the ground in a turn.
WARNING: Toe overlap could cause you to lose control and
fall. Ask your Whyte dealer to check for toe overlap.
Replacement of crank arms or tyres can create a toe overlap
problem. Whether you have overlap or not, it is strongly ad-
vised to keep the inside pedal up and the outside pedal down
when making sharp turns.
