Hi guys, I purchased the new 2017 Whyte 901 hardtail less than 24 hours ago. Naturally I wanted to take it for a spin as soon as I got home. During it's first ride I worked through the gears and I have noticed that the highest gear causes the chain (I think) to start clicking, almost like the sound a fair ground ride makes as it ascends to the top of drop. No other gears are an issue but the last one continuously clicks as i am peddling, almost as though the chain hasn't quite reached the gear. Could it be an indexing issue? Hoping someone can help me out, thanks.

    Probably. Read Parktools and adjust. Check the limit screw(s).

    By highest do you mean little cog? Easier to say big or small cog/chainring as many people call the big cog 'highest', which it obviously isn't.

    Take it back to the shop you bought it from and have them set the gears correctly.
