Archived: Frame: Monocoque/ TIG-welded · Fork: Fox 32 Talas RL, 100 - 150mm adjustable travel · Aluminum/magnesium, single crown

• Inspect composite areas in bright light for impact marks, cracks, ripples or crushed clamp zones. Check metal sections and welds separately for dents or cracking.

• 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: Group: Shimano SLX · Shifters: Shimano SLX RapidFire · Front derailleur: Shimano SLX, E-type · Rear derailleur: Shimano XT Shadow · Crankset: Shimano SLX, 22/32/44 teeth · Bottom bracket: Shimano SLX Hollowtech II · Cassette: SRAM PG-980 · Rear cogs: 9-speed, 11 - 32 teeth · Chain: Shimano HG-53

• 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: Avid Elixir C w/185mm rotor brakes, Avid Elixir C levers

• 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: Mavic CrossRide Disc · Hubs: Mavic CrossRide Disc · Front tire: 26 x 2.25" Schwalbe Nobby Nic

• 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" FSA No. 9 · Handlebar: Scott Pilot 22 Pro riser · Stem: Scott MC Pro OS · Seatpost: Scott RC 03-60, 34.9mm diameter · Saddle: Scott Genius w/chromoly rails · Pedals: Shimano PD-M520

• 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.
