Feeling out of my depth!

RallyBiker

I've just upgraded from my Halfords bought Diamondback Outback to a Whyte 46. My initial feeling of euphoria has now moved through to awe,to floundering in mild panic/confusion. Any advice. My gut feeling is to leave all knobs alone and just take it to Coed Y Brenin at the weekend! :shock:

You need to set it up and adjust it first! Ie suspension etc.

Did you get any manuals?

If you have no manuals - try on www.whytebikes.com - I believe they have downloads of that kind of thing.

Basically you need to get front and rear suspension working properly otherwise a trip to Coed may be an exercise in frustration or worse!

take it to the bike shop that you bought it from dude and ask them to set it up to ur weight etc!!

+1 for taking it back and asking them to set it for you. taking it to cyb as it is could make it a miserable experience.
if you have a shock pump, you could have a go yourself at setting the pressures, usually you are looking at about 25%sag in the forks and shock, but check the whyte website for confirmation and enjoy, quality bike!

defo need to set the bike for you..

you don't want to be riding a buckingbroncho at coedy..

the 46 is an amazing bike and should inspire confidence,,, if you can't set it up your self then take to a shop i'm sure they will assist you.
