2011 Jamis Dakar XCR Pro

Archived: Frame: Carbon · Fork: Fox 32 F RL FIT, 100mm travel

• 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: Fox 32 F RL FIT, 100mm travel · Rear shock: Fox Float RP2 BV, 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: Shimano Deore XT · Shifters: Shimano Deore XT M770 Rapidfire · Front derailleur: Shimano Deore XT M771, 34.9mm top pull · Rear derailleur: Shimano Deore XT M773 Shadow · Crankset: Shimano Deore XT M770 Hollowtech II, 42/32/24t teeth · Bottom bracket: Shimano Deore XT Integrated · Cassette: Shimano HG81 · Rear cogs: 10-speed, 11 - 34 teeth · Chain: KMC X10SL

• 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: Shimano Deore XT M775 brakes, Shimano Deore XT M775 levers

• Inspect pads and braking surfaces, check the complete cable or hose path, and confirm both controls feel consistent and return cleanly.

Archived: Wheel size: 26" wheels · Rims: Mavic XM317 disc, 32-hole · Hubs: Shimano Deore XT M775 Center Lock 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: Ritchey Pro Logic · Handlebar: Ritchey Pro Rizer · Stem: Ritchey Pro 4-Axis · Seatpost: Ritchey Pro 2 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.
• Check that the seatpost moves for adjustment and that the saddle, post and clamp hold securely without cracks, severe corrosion or damaged hardware.
