    Who can check out bikes?

    Evening all!

    I'm down here in Christchurch and I'm looking at a bike in Auckland on Trademe. Is there any organisation that checks out bikes for you like the AA do for cars. Don't want to get all the way up there and find its a shitbox!
    G'own oura da, ye bollix!

    Carver will test it out for you .................... it might not be much use after however. You'll at least need new fork seals and a rear tyre.


    Maybe try that Frosty chap.

    get the bike to be and Ill do like an AA inspection on t for you.
    If you want the engine PROPPERLY checked out then you need to pay a bike shop.
    My inspection engine wise is more--does it all work from riding it and does it make funny noises.
    I also check TYRE PRESSURES--aye mully???

    I refuse to comment on the grounds that I'm trying to forget about that.

    Apparently, low pressures heat the tyres quicker and give you better grip - I was sacrificing wear for grip.

    That's my story and I'm sticking with it. I know where you live, Frosty.......

    You are a top bloke FROSTY no doubt about it. He cant get the bike to you, it is a Tard me auction.


    EDIT: Oh and tyre pressures are seriously important

    Nahh --depends how much the guy wants to sell it---Ive done two inspections for KBers on tard me auction bikes. The seller brings it to me and I inspect it--or a bike shop etc.

    Ye George can do a prepurchase check for you. Don't think AA knows much about bikes but it doesn't hurt to ask.
