If you’re buying this bike used
Before any test ride: both brakes should stop the bike firmly and release cleanly; both wheels should run true and be securely attached; tires should have no casing damage; and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals should have no looseness or play.
Follow the full used-bike inspection order →- FrameInspect the frame in bright light, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, chainstays and clamped areas. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of a previous impact.Inspect the frame and fork →
- BrakesIdentify the installed brake system before riding or ordering parts. Test every installed brake separately at walking speed, confirm it stops firmly and releases cleanly, then inspect its pads, braking surfaces and complete cable or hose path.Inspect the brakes →
- SuspensionAsk when the rear shock was last serviced. Check the shaft and seals for damage or oil, cycle the shock through its travel and test every suspension pivot for play.Evaluate the suspension →
- DrivetrainShift through the full range under light load, measure chain wear and inspect the cassette or freewheel teeth. Skipping or hesitation can indicate wear, poor adjustment or mismatched parts.Check drivetrain wear →
