Apologies if there's already a post/article on this subject, I couldn't find one.
What checks should one perform on a 2nd hand full suspension bike to see whether the shock, forks, bearings and frame aren't too worn down? Is there anything specific you can do to see whether the seals are wrecked, other than bouncing the bike and listening for bad noises? And how do you tell if the bearings/pivots are wrecked - if they're worn, can you flex the frame, like when you're checking the headset?
Thanks, I'm sure much of this is common sense but it's always helpful to hear any tricks of the trade etc
