3.2: WHYTE INTER GRIP SEAT CLAMP ADJUSTMENT & SERVICE
Tools Required: 5mm AF Allen Keys (2 off, 1 fitted to a 3Nm to 15Nm Torque Wrench)
Small Size Flat Blade Screwdriver
SKF LGEP2 or Castrol Spheerol AP3 or Finish Line Teflon White Lithium
Complex grease
Reference figures 2 to 7. The Inter Grip seat clamp design is present on most models of
Whyte full suspension mountain bikes. It allows adjustment of the saddle height & direction.
CAUTION! Avoid over-tightening the seat clamp.
In particular, “dropper” seat-posts such as SRAM Reverb may not work correctly if the seat
clamp is over tightened.
Figure 2. To adjust the seat
height and/or direction, using
the 5mm Allen key, undo the M6
Capscrew (1) just enough to
allow the Seat Post (7) to slide
freely up and down. Set the
height and/or direction to the
desired level.
Figure 3. Re-tighten the M6
Capscrew (1) with the 5mm
Allen Key in the Torque Wrench
to the 6Nm limit, as marked on
the Plain Sleeve (2).
Figures 4 & 5. If a “dropper”
seat-post is fitted, simultaneously depress the activation
trigger and press down on the
saddle to compress the seatpost until it is fully down. Then
release the activation trigger
and the seat-post should rise
up automatically.
Figure 6. If this does
not happen, gradually
loosen the M6 Capscrew (1) with the
5mm Allen Key below
the 6Nm limit, until
the seat-post rises
automatically.

3.3: SET UP OF FORK
Tools Required: Good Quality Shock Pump.
Small Ruler
The front suspension fork fitted to your Whyte bike will be pre-set with the standard settings. Before riding, you may need to adjust these setting. First is 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 the front fork, you need to measure the
amount the fork compresses when you sit on the bike in the
normal riding position. See the table on the right for our
recommendation of front fork sag on your Whyte bike. To
achieve this you will need to adjust the air spring pressure
inside the fork.
Refer to the specification tables in this manual, and then to
the relevant fork manufacturers set up instructions to find
how to adjust the air spring pressure in the fork. Using a
shock pump, either add or remove air until Sag is correctly set.
Please note that for the detailed instructions for servicing and all matters relating to the
forks fitted to your Whyte bike, please refer to the manufacturers instructions.
Rebound Damping adjustment:
This adjustment fine-tunes the speed at which the wheel returns to its normal ride height
after hitting a bump. Refer to the relevant manufacturers instructions to find out how to
adjust the rebound damping. To demonstrate the effect of this function, turn the adjuster to
its slowest setting. Press down on the handlebars to compress the forks, then release the
load. The suspension recovers very slowly to its original position.
Repeat the above with the adjuster turned to the fastest setting and the difference will be
seen immediately the load is released. We recommend the optimum setting is to adjust the
re-bound damping to be as slow as possible, but not so slow that the normal ride height is
not recovered. On very rough terrain, if the bike becomes progressively lower as more
bumps are hit then the re-bound damping is set too slow. On the other hand if the bike feels
choppy and not plush then the re-bound damping is too fast. A bit of trial and error is
needed to get the exact setting.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
Always stop riding when making adjustments of any kind to the bicycle!

lowered torque value that allows the “dropper” seat-post to function correctly.
CAUTION! When adjusting the saddle height you MUST obey the Minimum insertion
depth requirement marked on the Seat Post (7). Also consult the seat-pin manufacturers instructions in conjunction with these notes.

WHYTE Service Manual
3.4: SET UP OF REAR DAMPER
Tools Required: Good Quality Shock Pump.
Small Ruler
Your Whyte bike is fitted with and air spring rear shock absorber. This means that the air
pressure in the shock absorber determines the spring rate. The correct ‘sag’ can be found
using the sliding ‘O’ ring fitted to the shaft of the shock piston. Slide the ‘O’ ring against
the shock body. Then gently sit on the bike in your normal riding position and with normal
riding gear, including back pack if applicable, and also raise your
feet off the floor. Carefully dismount and measure the distance the
‘O’ ring has moved away from the shock body.
The optimum distance for the Quad-Link rear suspension system
is shown in the table to the right. If there is less than that distance fit a shock pump and release air pressure. Conversely if
there is greater than that distance, fit the shock pump and increase air pressure.
Repeat the ‘sag’ test until the recommended sag distance is achieved.
Rear Suspension Set-up - Rebound Damping:
When the damper unit is being compressed, this is known as the compression stroke. As
the suspension unit recovers from compression back towards its full length, this is called
the re-bound stroke. All the shocks fitted as standard to the Whyte full suspension mountain bikes have factory set compression damping, and manually adjustable rebound damping.
Rebound Damping Adjustment:
The advice in section 3.3 about the fork rebound damping adjustments also applies to the
rear shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
Always stop riding when making adjustments of any kind to the bicycle!
Platform Damping Adjustment.
The rear Shock fitted to your Whyte bike may have a “platform” facility to adjust the slow
speed compression damping, eg Fox “C.T.D.” (Climb / Trail / Descend) or SRAM RockShox
“Motion Control”. Please refer to the relevant shock manufactures technical information to
learn how to adjust these features.
Please note, that the Whyte rear suspension systems have been designed not to rely on
excessive low speed compression damping to obtain efficient pedalling performance, and
turning on too much low speed damping on the rear shock will compromise the suspensions sensitivity to small bump absorption and traction.

Record your best suspension settings in the table below, to restore them if necessary, eg.
after dealer servicing of the suspension or if a friend has borrowed your bike.
4.0: SAFETY
IMPORTANT: The following are intended to be advisory notes on the safe use of your
Whyte bike. You should also read thoroughly the General Instruction Manual also supplied
with your new bike. If at any stage you are uncertain about the safety or safe operation of
the bike as a whole, or any specific component, then DO NOT RIDE YOUR WHYTE and
instead please consult the specific component manufacturers instruction manual or your
Whyte Dealer for advice.
Maximum Weight Limit for Whyte G-150, T-130, T-129 & M-109C:

WARNING: As is the case with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected
to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear
and stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may fail suddenly causing possible injury to the rider. Any form of crack,
scratches and decolouring in highly stresses areas are showing that the component
has exhausted its life time and has to be replaced. If you are in any doubt about one
or more components on your Whyte DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE. Consult the specific component manufacturers literature, or take your bike to your local Whyte Dealer.
