Every Bike Certified Ride-Ready: How Goodbye Cycle Inspects Used Bikes

When you buy a used bike, you deserve more than just crossed fingers and good luck. At Goodbye Cycle, we believe in complete confidence from the very first ride. That’s why every bike we sell is professionally inspected, tuned, and certified ride-ready.
Here’s exactly what that means—and why it matters.

Our 10-Point Quality Inspection Process

Whether it’s a weekend trail shredder or a high-end carbon road machine, your bike goes through a rigorous inspection by real mechanics who ride what they work on. Here’s what we cover before any bike hits our site:

• Pivot Points Checked and Torqued – We check every linkage and torque it to manufacturer specs to ensure tight, safe operation.
• Bearings Inspected and Replaced – If it grinds or creaks, it goes. We replace worn headset, bottom bracket, and suspension bearings.
• Fork and Shock Fully Serviced – Every bike with suspension gets a full service—oil, seals, and air chambers inspected and refreshed.
• Wheels Trued and Tensioned – We ensure your wheels spin true and hold tension, so you stay smooth and fast.
• Brakes Serviced and Bled – We replace pads if they’re more than 25% worn and bleed the system so your stopping power is top-notch.
• Drivetrain Cleaned and Tuned – Derailleurs adjusted, chains checked, cassettes cleaned, and shifting dialed in.
• New Cables and Housing as Needed – If anything is sticky, frayed, or dragging—we replace it.
• Tires Inspected and Replaced – Anything over 20% worn gets replaced, so you're not buying a bike with tired treads.
• Bolt Check and Safety Sweep – We torque-check all major bolts and do a final test ride.
• Detailed Cleaning and Visual Inspection – We go over the frame and parts carefully to ensure no cracks, bends, or hidden damage.

When we say “certified ride-ready,” we mean it. Whether you’re riding the local loop or heading into race day, every bike that leaves our shop is ready to roll.
