HI

Just want to share that as we really did not came with any solution with the seller. Did not want to tell the story so will keep it as short as possible.

I bought YT CAPRA CF PRO 2015 from Beverley Tyler on yt buy sell on facebook:

1. Described as 'Everything is good on the bike. The price reflects the fact it could do with a service as most people like to do that themselves when they buy a second hand bike'

2. Bike came with:
- Reverb in a need of replacing all internals (it hardly slided in) + scratched back outer part (see photos) so it was completely overhauled with service kit .

3. I took the bike for first ride and :
- forks were heavily leaking (see photos after 2 runs - 2 miles each on flow track)
- guide brakes with typical problem of lever piston jammed
- rear wheel internals exploded on 3rd (broken pawls, inner freehub etc but I assume this she could not be aware of coming) so start checking the wheels and found 2 cracks on the rear rim !!
(see photos).
Just to mention I did 3 runs on flow track with no drops and jumps etc, those were test runs to set up the suspension , brakes etc.

During further discussion she constantly told the bike was good when left her which is obviously a lie since leaking forks seals, crap condition reverb and cracked rims do not happen on 2 rides .

I saw she was racing and may be recognizable on UK scene so please be aware of what is she selling.

Photos are here.

Ouch, that is brutal and seller is dishonest. Did you inspect the bike in person? This is one reason I would not buy a complete bike without inspecting in person. Components and a frame, sure. Hope you can get some money back.
