Looking at buying a second hand YT mountain bike
Postby beaumariscyclist » Sat Sep 04, 2021 12:11 pm
I am doing some research on buying a second hand YT mountain bike and after some tips on what I need to be looking out for. I don't know a lot about the brand other than they are similar to Canyon in terms of their distribution model and they seem to have very good reviews. I have ridden a different model for s short period of time and it was awesome. The bike I am looking at is 2019 Capra Pro Race and the geometry looks good for me. Any advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Also I need to organise transport, the seller will box up for me. Any recommendations on who to use for transport would be greatly appreciated.

From all reports they are great bikes, my only concern with a niche brand would be spare parts in case of problems ie dual suspension bearings etc
