• Confirm the frame markings and seller description match this archived model. Note every component that differs from the published build.
• Record the frame serial number. It should be legible, unaltered and consistent with the seller’s ownership history.
• Find the size marking on the bicycle and confirm the fit before judging the condition or price.

Archived: Frame: Aluminum DJ 26", Smooth Welding · Fork: RST Dirt ,100 mm, 9x100mm

• 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.
• Stand behind and in front of the bicycle to look for obvious frame, fork or wheel misalignment. Ask directly about crashes, transport damage and repairs.
• Inspect the fork crown, blades, dropouts and visible steerer area. Check that it is straight, securely installed and free of cracks or impact damage.

• Check chain tension and chainline, rotate the drivetrain through a full revolution and confirm the rear axle or tensioning hardware cannot slip.
• 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 MD-M280, Mechanical Disc, Resin Pads / (R) Tektro MD-M280, Mechanical Disc, Resin Pads; Rotors: (F) Tektro TR160-52, 160mm, 1.8mm Thickness , 6-bolt / (R) Tektro TR160-52, 160mm, 1.8mm Thickness , 6-bolt; Levers: Tektro Alloy

• Check both cables and housings for corrosion, fraying or drag. Confirm each caliper releases cleanly, then inspect pad thickness, rotor wear and rotor alignment.
• Before riding, test every installed brake separately at walking speed. Each should stop firmly and release cleanly without its control reaching the end of its usable travel.

Archived: Wheel size: 26" · Rims: XD-155 DW, 32h, F/R 26", 26.6mm ID · Hubs: (F) KT sealed bearing, 3/8" nutted axle, 32H, 6-Bolt / (R) KT sealed bearing, 3/8" nutted axle, 32H, 14T SS sprocket, 6-Bolt · Front tire: Kenda K-Rad, 26x2.30", Wire Bead · Rear tire: Kenda K-Rad, 26x2.30", 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.
• Remove and reinstall or closely inspect both wheel-retention systems. Axles or quick releases should tighten correctly with undamaged threads, hardware and dropouts.

Archived: Headset: Tapered 1-1/8"- 1.5",(ZS44/28.6 | ZS56/40) · Handlebar: Norco Aluminum, 760mm, 30mm Rise · Stem: Norco, 45mm Length, 31.8 Clamp · Seatpost: Alloy 27.2mm ID, 200mm Length · Saddle: Norco DJ, 243x130mm · Pedals: FM 870ZP w/ Metal Pins

• 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.

• Before riding, confirm both wheels are secure, tires are safe, both brakes function, and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals have no looseness.
• Begin at low speed. Test steering, braking and shifting progressively, then load the drivetrain and suspension only after the basic safety checks pass.
• Listen and feel for repeated knocks, grinding, skipping, brake pulsation or movement at joints. Stop the test if the bicycle cannot be controlled safely.
