12 MAINTENANCE & SERVICING 12.2 Rear Shock
60
WARNING! Failure or improper maintenance can lead to
performance defects, malfunctions, or imperfections to the
bicycle assembly which could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Many xings used to secure the rear triangle to the
main frame have thread-lock applied which may appear as a
patch of red or blue on the threads. These patches stop the
xing from coming loose under vibration and secure the xing
under torque. Repeated removal and installation of bolts remove
the patch and reduce the effectiveness. Whyte recommends
cleaning any dirt and grease from the threads and replacing the
liquid thread-locker when required.
INFO: Whyte frames have been designed and tested to work
with the suspension components that come provided as stock
with your purchase. Our design and professional race team
have rened the shocks performance to work with your bike.
If a change of shock is desired then be aware certain models
are non compatible due to size, position of reservoir, or control
points. Please consult your Whyte retailer before making any
changes.
WARNING! Replacing the stock shock with a non-compatible
shock may cause damage to components or frame and could
affect the performance of the bike resulting in an accident.
INFO: For cleaning and servicing recommendations of bike parts
such as forks, shock, pedals and cranks please consult the
relevant manufacturers manuals.
