Archived: Frame: Carbon fiber · Fork: RockShox SID Select+ RL, 120mm, DebonAir, 15x110mm thru-axle, tapered steerer, 44mm offset

• Inspect the frame in bright light, especially the head tube, bottom-bracket area, chainstays and clamped surfaces. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of impact.

• Inspect the fork stanchions for scratches or coating wear, look for oil or dirt rings at the seals, and cycle the fork through its travel while checking for binding or bushing play.
• Inspect the shock shaft and seals, cycle the rear suspension through its travel and check for oil, air loss, binding or unusual top-out and bottom-out noises.
• Hold the rear brake and load the suspension from several directions. Check pivots, bearings and mounting hardware for knock, looseness or side play.
• Ask for dated fork, shock and pivot-service records. A clean exterior does not establish the condition of internal seals, oil, bushings or bearings.

• Confirm every shift battery charges and every control operates. Shift through the full cassette under light load while checking pairing, derailleur alignment and response at both ends of the range.
• Measure chain wear with a compatible gauge and inspect chainring, cassette or freewheel teeth. A new chain does not rule out wear in the remaining drivetrain.
• Turn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Inspect crank arms, chainring bolts and pedal threads for looseness or damage.

• Squeeze each lever firmly. It should feel consistent and return cleanly. Check levers, hoses and calipers for fluid, inspect pad thickness and contamination, and examine rotors for wear or bending.

Archived: Wheel size: 29 · Rims: HollowGram XC-S 27, lightweight, high-impact carbon, 27mm inner width, 28h, tubeless ready · Hubs: (F) HollowGram, 15x110mm thru-axle / (R) HollowGram w/DT Swiss 350 internals, 12x148mm · Front tire: Maxxis Rekon Race WT, 29x2.4", EXO Protection, tubeless ready · Rear tire: Maxxis Aspen WT, 29x2.4", EXO Protection, tubeless ready

• Spin both wheels and watch for side-to-side and vertical movement. Check spoke tension, rim condition and hub play. Inspect the carbon rims closely for impact marks, cracks, delamination or damage around spoke holes and bead hooks.
• Inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking, plugs, bulges or exposed threads and confirm the installed sizes are safe for the rims and available frame and fork clearance.
• Confirm whether the bike is actually set up tubeless, whether both tires hold pressure, and when sealant and rim tape were last serviced.

Archived: Headset: Acros ICR · Handlebar: Cannondale 1 Flat, Carbon, 31.8mm, 9° back, 760mm · Stem: Cannondale C1 Conceal, Alloy, 31.8, -6° · Seatpost: Fox Transfer SL Performance Elite, 31.6, 125mm (S), 150mm (M-XL) · Saddle: Prologo Dimension NDR, STN rails

• Apply the front brake and rock the bike to check for headset play or notchiness. Inspect the stem, handlebar and clamp zones, then confirm every fastener and control is secure. Look particularly closely for crushing, scoring or cracks at carbon handlebar clamp areas.
• Cycle the dropper post repeatedly. It should reach full travel, remain extended under load and have no unusual oil, excessive rotational play or damaged remote, cable, hose or battery.
