Jan 21, 2023Nukeproof Mega 290 Large
$1400 GBPHey
This is my nukeproof mega. It’s a great bike for your weekend trail rides up to fun days on the shuttle at big Welsh bike parks.
Nearly everything is mechanical sound- full frame bearings and chain were replaced in April. Wheel bearings and freehub body in November. Only small issues are a sometimes creaky bottom bracket I’d recommend replacing soon however it is still rideable. Rear shock is also overdue a service. Seals leak slowly and so needs to be done straight away either by yourself or for an added cost I can get it done at j tech suspension for you.
On either side of the chainstays there’s some heel rub as pictured and a few other small chips to the paint. All of which are only cosmetic damage and is to be expected on a bike of this intention.
Parts list
Fork- fox 36 Fit4 160mm, mudhugger as well!
Shock- fox float x2
Wheels- Dt Swiss e1700
Tyres- Schwalbe Magic Mary/Big Betty, tubeless
Brakes- Shimano xt m8000
Drivetrain- Full shimano m8000 xt except for the cassette that is a sun race with a larger range, 11-46t
Dropper- One up V2 210mm, with one up lever
Cockpit- nukeproof
Great speck for a great price
Please feel free to ask for more photos or as many questions as you want. I can also bring the bike to you personally to view if you’re not to far away.
Hoping this bike will find a great owner!
Make me an offer
Cheers,
Ben

@netracer-enduro: I don’t know where you live, but if you’re near north Wales there’s a lot of bike parks that a lot of people use dh bikes.(I don’t personally though)

Pinkbike Podcast Episode 57: What Were the Best (and Worst) Trends in Mountain Biking?
About the short chainstays issue, I ride a nukeproof mega with a 450mm chainstay length with a 470mm reach (size L). I love it and I could go longer at the rear

True, I’m 16 and have just spent all my money on a bike, I’m now riding at speeds where I k is it could go wrong so easily. I have a long list that I need to save for but because of the price of stuff it’s going to take me months
