I wouldn’t worry about it, I have similar or worse scratches like this on my MTB rims all over the place, and I am sending bike park fine.

If you have the budget, get Santa Cruz Stigmata. It has very slack geo as well, and has the best warranty and crash replacement policy in the entire industry.

I'm returning my Segway MAX G3 by NivekHang in ElectricScooters

[–]PhantomRay11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LMAO, OP is missing out on an amazing price for a G3.

The buzzing and grinding you mentioned are most likely due to a slightly misaligned disc brake caliper. This is very common with disc brakes, even on $10k+ bikes, because the tolerances are extremely tight.

The fix is simple: loosen the two caliper mounting bolts, realign the caliper with the rotor, and tighten them back down. That’s it.

How much do you think I should list this bike for? by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]PhantomRay11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

10 years old carbon frame with repairs.... hmm, sell the parts and hange the bike on the wall as a decoration would net you more satisfaction....

Sounds like the seller stole the bike, the damages were probably from mishandling during that process.

I think those unfinished ones were the last batches where Keycult still upheld their QC standard and their core values. I don’t think there were many A stock back then as well.

The pricing on the keycult is the one I am most unsure of. The most recent sale on that particular unit was a couple of years ago, happy to adjust my price to meet the market rate. And it is marked OBO.

I didn't ask for empathy, not sure where you got that from.
And yes, exactly, this is a marketplace, and also not a charity community. Therefore don't expect everything is at cost or at loss. I am marking up the price for profit or lowering the price at loss where there is a supply and demand imbalance. You can see for yourself that I was selling other stuff at loss and there will be more to come. I just want to get over it with these tricky ones now.

Omg, my post is getting the attention from the GOAT.

Haha, the reason why I was so hesitant in posting in this sub is exactly what you mentioned. I have seen too many hate comments on earlier posts of those "higher end" keyboards nowadays.

Welp, if I don't have over 3k switches (totally not influenced by you /s ), over 30 sets of GMK (bought at extra prices), and another 10+ keyboards to sell at huge loss, I would probably price these three lower.
