Archived: Frame: Series 3 6061 Aluminum, 26” Wheels, 130mm Travel, MultiTrac Suspension Platform, 148x12mm Boost Thru-Axle, 73mm Threaded BB w/ ISCG05 Tabs · Fork: X-Fusion Velvet RLC 26", 130mm Travel, Compression and Rebound Adjustment, 100x15mm Thru-Axle

• Look for dents or shape changes and inspect the edges of welds around the head tube, bottom bracket, seat cluster and suspension mounts for hairline cracks.

Archived: Fork: X-Fusion Velvet RLC 26", 130mm Travel, Compression and Rebound Adjustment, 100x15mm Thru-Axle · Rear shock: X-Fusion O2 Pro R, 190x45mm, Custom Tune, M8x22.2mm Hardware

• 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: Shifters: Shimano, SL-U6000-11R, 11-Speed · Rear derailleur: Shimano RD-U6000, 11-Speed GS · Crankset: Marin Forged Alloy, Integrated Steel 32T Narrow Wide Chainring, 170mm Crank Length, Boost Spacing · Bottom bracket: External Sealed Cartridge Bearing · Cassette: Shimano CS-LG400-11, 11-Speed, 11-50T · Chain: Shimano LG-500 11-Speed

• 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: (F) Tektro HD-M280 Hydraulic Disc, 180mm Rotor / (R) Tektro HD-M280 Hydraulic Disc, 180mm Rotor; Levers: Tektro HD-M280

• 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" · Rims: Marin, Double Wall Alloy, 27mm Inner, Pinned Joint, Disc Specific, Tubeless Compatible · Hubs: (F) Joytech, 100x15mm / (R) Joytech 141 QR, Standard Freehub Body · Front tire: Vee Tire Co, Flow Snap 26x2.4", Tackee Compound, Wire Bead · Rear tire: Vee Tire Co, Flow Snap 26x2.4", Tackee Compound, Wire Bead

• 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.
• 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: FSA No 57E, Semi-Sealed Cartridge Bearings, 1 1/8" x 1 1/2” · Handlebar: Marin Mini-Riser, 6061 Double Butted Aluminum, 12mm Rise, 720mm Width, 4º Up, 9º Back · Stem: Marin 3D Forged Alloy, 35mm · Seatpost: X-Fusion Manic LC, 1x Composite Remote, 100mm · Saddle: Marin Speed Concept

• 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.
