• 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.

Archived: Fork: Rock Shox SID XX World Cup, 100mm travel · Rear shock: Fox Float RP23, 100mm travel

• 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.

Archived: Group: SRAM XX mix · Shifters: SRAM XX Trigger · Front derailleur: SRAM XX Double, top-pull/clamp-on 34.9mm · Rear derailleur: SRAM XX Mid-Cage · Crankset: TruVativ XX, 42/28 teeth · Bottom bracket: TruVativ XX BB30 · Cassette: SRAM XX · Rear cogs: 10-speed, 11 - 36 teeth · Chain: KMC X10SL Gold

• Shift through every available gear under light load. Hesitation, skipping or inconsistent indexing can reflect wear, damage, poor adjustment or mismatched replacement parts.
• 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.

Archived: Brakes: Avid XX Hydraulic disc w/160mm Rotor front/Avid XX Hydraulic disc w/140mm Rotor rear brakes, Avid XX Hydraulic levers

• 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: 26" wheels · Rims: Mavic CrossMax SLR Disc, 24-hole · Hubs: Mavic CrossMax SLR Disc · Front tire: Front: 26 x 2.1" Geax Mezcal, Rear: 26 x 1.9" Geax Mezcal

• Spin both wheels and watch for side-to-side and vertical movement. Check spoke tension, rim condition and hub play.
• 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.

Archived: Headset: 1 1/8" threadless Ritchey Pro Logic Press Fit · Handlebar: Ritchey Pro Carbon Rizer OS · Stem: Ritchey WCS 4-Axis OS · Seatpost: Ritchey WCS Carbon single bolt, 31.6mm diameter · Saddle: WTB Silverado Team

• 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.
• Check that the seatpost moves for adjustment and that the saddle, post and clamp hold securely without cracks, severe corrosion or damaged hardware.
