What to check when buying used

Inspection

Frame condition

Inspect the frame, fork, welds, and high-stress areas for cracks, dents, or prior repairs.

Inspection

Drivetrain wear

Check chain stretch, cassette teeth, chainrings, and shifting under load before negotiating price.

Inspection

Wheel condition

Inspect rims, hubs, spokes, and bearing play; ask about the tire age and any prior wheel rebuilds.

Inspection

Service history

Ask for service records covering bearings, brakes, drivetrain, and any frame or fork warranty work.

Inspection

Carbon inspection

Tap test the frame, fork, seatpost, and bars for cracks; verify no impact damage near dropouts.

Inspection

Brake hoses & cables

Check hydraulic line bleed, cable housing wear, and confirm rotors are within spec.
