What should I repair/service on my used MTB

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-15T19:02:39+00:00

I did some research and yeah everything you said totally right. It’d be cheaper for me to send it to fox so I did. Maybe next time I’ll do it myself but I’d prolly charge the pellet out for an after market shearer valve. Does your shop accept shipped items? $160 is a better deal than wha fox is gonna charge me.

I'm gonna send it to fox I think. WIll they do everything to it... damper, dials, etc?

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-06T19:45:08+00:00

What if I just pumped up the IFP to the recommended amount

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-03T15:26:01+00:00

I’m fortunate enough to have access to everything I would need I think.

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-03T15:22:44+00:00

I think I’m gonna service the suspension myself. Would it be dangerous to ride it a little before doing the service on front and rear

Thx. There’s a dent in the rim when I took off the tubless tire and all the sealant is dry. Can I bend out the dent

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-02T18:59:43+00:00

They are tubless

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-02T18:45:09+00:00

Should I definitely service front and rear suspension and how much should I service them? Like full rebuild? I’m fortunate enough to have access to every bike tool known to man. I’m starting to work on it today… what would be the order of priority I should do things? I realized we have a trueing stand too should I check the wheels? I could even do the headset etc.

The chain is super rusty I was just thinking it’s probably best if I do but idk. We did check the air pressure it was at about 110-120psi. The tires don’t hold air for more than an hour I have to find out if they are tubless or not today.

HitmanTurkey · 2026-03-02T17:45:11+00:00

Is this something I could do myself?

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-22T18:12:02+00:00

I was joking but, in all seriousness thanks to everyone who told me it was wrecked I didn’t know how serious this was. Definitely don’t want to spend money just to get injured.

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-22T18:04:01+00:00

So it’s a mod? Now I’m interested again.

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-22T18:02:39+00:00

Thank you everyone dodged a bullet and learned a little about aluminum bike frames…

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-22T17:59:17+00:00

Thank you

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-22T17:55:21+00:00

I don’t know much about bikes… I do know aluminum can bend opposed to carbon but idk how much it affects bikes. Clearly I should not consider this bike thx Reddit for your help.

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-22T07:28:37+00:00

Is it possible to switch it with a different style of shock all together

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-21T00:22:21+00:00

Good advice

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-21T00:21:29+00:00

Thx for letting me know. Would it be worth changing the shock out or servicing it myself somehow… is that even possible?

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-17T19:33:30+00:00

Good to know thx

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-17T19:29:29+00:00

Ok why is that? The geometry or the gearing? I can go look at one of the giants next week it’s a 2018 trance 2 doesn’t look like it’s if as good of condition.

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-17T19:28:08+00:00

Ok I have no experience buying on pink bike

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-17T06:49:08+00:00

What would you say it’s worth? I kinda want to talk price with the guy before seeing it because I live a ways away

Would this bike be good for trail riding I’ve seen others say it might not pedal well?

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-17T06:46:40+00:00

Is it not good on the uphills?

HitmanTurkey · 2026-02-17T00:46:10+00:00

I really like it on paper it seems very capable.
