No it hasnt, why are you saying that Einsten and how can you tell from a picture? Give me your trick it will be useful for me seeing i want a new bike, i would be able to judge bike on internet just by pictures.
Well, its easy to explain, the wheelset isnt the stock one, i've rode it on my 4x bike for 2 more months last year. Thats why i gave the choice between both wheels, im not expecting someone to take the bombshell tho, seeing it has a damage. And the stock wheelset (WTB dual duty FR) has not many rides on it because its on my 4x bike now and i dont use it really often. And about the bearings, pivots and linkage, Im just an unlucky guy, take a look at the reviews on mtbr.com about the giant reign X and you'll see that the stock bearings/pivots have a pretty bad reputation. One of them broke and i just decided to change everything i put better bearings on it so the linkage is perfect now. For the rockplate (the grey plate that links everything together), one side was rubbed just a bit because the bearings were loose for like 300 meters i guess so i changed it for a new one.
paypal payment, or at least a good amount first and cod rest. i want a full downhill bike because i've tried once and its way better for what im doing.
