2006 Scott Scale 60

Archived: Frame: TIG-welded/bonded · Fork: Rock Shox TORA 318, 80mm travel · Aluminum/magnesium, single crown

• 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.

• 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.
• Ask for dated fork-service records. A clean exterior does not establish the condition of internal seals, oil or bushings.

Archived: Group: Mountain Mix · Shifters: Shimano Deore Dual Control · Front derailleur: Shimano Deore · Rear derailleur: Shimano Deore XT · Crankset: Shimano FC-M460, 22/32/44 teeth · Bottom bracket: Shimano BB-UN26 · Rear cogs: 9-speed, 11 - 32 teeth · Chain: Shimano CN-HG53, 1/2 x 3/32"

• 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.

• 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: Alex DM-18, 32-hole · Hubs: Front: Scott Disc Comp, Rear: Shimano FH-M475 disc · Front tire: 26 x 2.00" Scott OXYD

• 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" integrated Ritchey Integrated · Handlebar: Scott X-Rod 580mm · Stem: Scott Comp · Seatpost: Scott Team · Saddle: Scott Racing · Pedals: Shimano PD-M505 SPD

• 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.
