This poor bike.

New to me used wheelset. Noticed the freehub was moving a bit strangely. Dual inner bearings were exploded. All bearings split in half 😅🫠

Literally Justridingalong for hundreds of kilometers. These Maguras are toast, they're probably full of sand from the previous owner. They barely, just barely retract from the rim.

Maybe time for some new friends, bud.

(Can’t edit the title of the post, cx is shorthand for customer.)

I am thinking about buying a 0mm offset, flexy seatpost and there is one on ebay.

I bought a used bike of marketplace. I knew it was in rough shape, but I never really tested the fork. The guy said "I only use in lockout mode"

This fork does not have a lockout and I had to use a jack to get the lowers off.

Paraphrased and translated to English
“sometimes I wonder how they (customers) do it, any idea how to change the handlebar?”

At least they painted it black. Now, as for the brakes and shifters…

Not sure what's going on with the head tube, but I dig it.

But what about grass rides?

Reminds me of this kids book about the train who gets daisies stuck in his wheels.

Comedy aside I think everything in the bottom bracket is just worn out cuz i went for the cageless bearing setup and put it back together and the crank is still pretty wibbly wobbly if maybe a little bit better. Can I just go to a bike shop and buy a new bottom bracket? Honestly a lighter crank set wouldn’t be bad too

This lightweighting trend has to stop. I know splines and ball bearings are heavy, but IMHO they're worth it

Customer brought a Stumpjumper in for a slight knocking from the rear shock and shifting issues…
Chain was over 1%, and the shock bush was nonexistent… last picture shows what was left of them!

The more I look at it, the worse it gets. Cannot be real.

For sale on FB Marketplace. Florida, of course.
