General Instruction Manual
If you suspect your bicycle has been damaged in any way, or has been tampered
with, carry out the pre-ride check on page 8. If there is any doubt about whether it
is safe to ride, take it to your Whyte dealer for inspection.
Use good shifting methods. Refer to the Transmission section on page 24.
Prevent handlebar impact damage to your frame. With some bicycles, as the front
wheel turns to extreme angles, the handlebar may contact the frame. Prevent dam-
age from handlebar impact by padding the handlebar parts, the frame, or both, at
the points of contact. See your Whyte dealer for recommended protection devices or
materials.
Never modify your fork, frame, or components. Modifying the parts of your bike in
any way, including the frame, fork, and all the components, may make your bike
unsafe. As an example, some bike frames have special surface treatments which
add strength; these could be removed through poor paint stripping techniques.
Changing the forks on your bicycle could alter the steering of the bicycle, or in-
crease the risk of your frame cracking.
Never add a suspension fork to a road bike
Most models are not compatible with dual crown / triple-clamp forks .
If you must replace the fork on any bike, check with your Whyte dealer or ATB Sales
Ltd technical service department to ensure the new forks are compatible with the
frame. Any modification of your frame, fork, or components means that your bike
no longer meets our specifications and will therefore void the bike’s warranty.
WARNING: Never modify your bike in any way, including
sanding, drilling, filing, removing redundant retention devic-
es, installing incompatible forks. An improperly modified
frame, fork, or component can cause you to lose control and
fall.
Maintenance Schedule
Much maintenance can and should be performed by a competent owner. That re-
quires no special tools or knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual. All
other service, maintenance and repair should be carried out by a qualified bicycle
mechanic using the correct tools and procedures specified by the manufacturer.
WARNING: As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is
subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and
components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different
ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it
may suddenly fail possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any
form of crack, scratches, fraying or change of colouring in
highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component
has been reached and it should be replaced.
