The Complete Guide to Buying a Used Bicycle
If you are looking to buy a bicycle, consider buying second-hand bikes. They can save you plenty of money and yet get the best deal out of your money. Of course, buying new bikes will give you zero worries. But some people do like the challenge of finding a used bike to buy. A trash belonging to someone else might be a treasure that belongs to you.
Preparation
You must do your homework well. Knowing you will be buying used bikes, you must be more well-prepared than when buying a new one. If you are a beginner, it is most recommended that you get an friend who is experienced in bicycles to come along with you.
Where to look?
You should look at newspapers for classifieds and advertisements. Otherwise, you can simply spread it by word of mouth. Sometimes, you will find people who have just bought their expensive bikes months ago and now want to sell them off, due to lost interest. This is the best advantage when buying used bikes.
How to check the bike?
1) Check its paint. See whether it has been deliberately touched-up to look like new. This can uncover the real age of the bicycle.
2) You must always ride the bike to test it. If the owner does not let you, then something bad is up.
3) Shift the gears and check for the quality of the derailleurs. Sometimes, shifters can also wear out. Feel the shifter with your fingers and if you feel there is any more than few millimetres of empty space movement, it means that wear has occurred.
4) Examine the chain rings. See it from above. If all of the teeth look the same, then it is a fine chain ring.
5) Also check the cogs for obvious bents.
6) For checking the hub, carry the bike and put it in an upside down position. See if the hub moves unnecessarily. If it is, chances are it is worn out.
7) Rotate the wheels and see if they spin without sounds. See if the rim and brake pads collide or not. If they do, this means that the rim is bent already.
Last of all, check the bottom bracket. De-attach the chain rings (front part) so that the crank can rotate freely. Move it from side to side. If they do not slide from side to side, it is fine.
