Hi all, I passed my exams last friday, and I can pick up my license on Tuesday. Now all that’s left is buying a bike. What’s your best advise for buying on the second hand market? I have no idea how to judge if a bike is worth its pricetag. Wat are things to look for? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, good advice. How do I know which damages are just looks, and which are actual dangers?
Basically cosmetic wear/damage, vs mechanical damage.
So for example if a wheel feels loose if you pull/push on it, that’s probably wheel bearings and is unsafe. Or if there’s a crack running through a frame tube, loose/broken spokes, missing sprocket teeth, stuff that’s obviously bent out of place, and so on…
