Archived: Frame: Bonded/monocoque · Fork: Rock Shox Reba WC, 80mm travel · Carbon/aluminum/magnesium, single crown

• 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: Rock Shox Reba WC, 80mm 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.
• 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 XTR STI Dual Control · Front derailleur: Shimano XTR · Rear derailleur: Shimano XTR SGS Rapid Rise · Crankset: Shimano XTR M960, 22/32/44 teeth · Bottom bracket: Shimano XTR · Rear cogs: 9-speed, 11 - 32 teeth · Chain: Shimano CN-HG93, 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.

Archived: Brakes: Shimano XTR Disc brakes, Shimano XTR STI Dual Control levers

• Inspect pads, rotors, calipers and the complete cable or hose path. Both levers should feel consistent and both calipers should release without persistent rubbing.

Archived: Wheel size: 26" wheels · Rims: Mavic Crossmax SL UST Disc, 28-hole · Hubs: Mavic Crossmax SL Disc · Front tire: 26 x 2.00" Scott OXYD 120TPI Kevlar UST

• 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 WCS Carbon · Handlebar: Ritchey WCS Carbon · Stem: Ritchey WCS · Seatpost: Ritchey WCS Carbon · Saddle: Selle Italia SLR XP · Pedals: Shimano PD-M540 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. Look particularly closely for crushing, scoring or cracks at carbon handlebar clamp areas.
• Check that the seatpost moves for adjustment and that the saddle, post and clamp hold securely without cracks, severe corrosion or damaged hardware.
