Why a Used Bike from Goodbye Cycle Rides Like New

Buying a used bicycle can feel like a gamble—unless you get it from Goodbye Cycle. We’re committed to giving every rider the confidence of knowing their bike is not only ready to ride but fully reconditioned to perform like new. When you shop with us, you’re not just getting a bike at a great price—you’re getting peace of mind and top-tier value.

Each used bike in our inventory undergoes a comprehensive inspection and professional service process by our in-house mechanics. We start by checking all suspension pivots and linkages. If we find any worn or damaged bearings, they’re replaced without hesitation. This ensures a solid, smooth ride with no unwanted flex or noise.

Next, both the front fork and rear shock are fully serviced following manufacturer-recommended intervals. We rebuild them as needed, replacing seals and fluids to restore peak performance. This is critical—not just for comfort and control, but also for long-term durability. Whether you're hitting the trails or cruising the streets, your suspension will respond just like it should.

Wheels are another high-priority area. We remove and inspect each wheel, true them for straightness, and tension the spokes to balance strength and ride quality. Hubs are opened, cleaned, and checked for wear to keep everything spinning effortlessly. Tires are examined for wear and replaced if they show more than 20% tread loss—so you can count on grip, durability, and safety right out of the box.

Cables and housing are replaced with new ones, so shifting is smooth and responsive. We also check the derailleur alignment and tune the drivetrain so the bike feels crisp and consistent with every pedal stroke. For braking systems, we bleed both front and rear brakes, check all hydraulic or mechanical components, and test for maximum stopping power. Brake pads are replaced if they’re more than 25% worn—no guessing if they’ll hold up on your next descent.

One of the final and most important steps in our process is torqueing every bolt to factory specification. Loose or over-tightened bolts can cause serious safety issues, so we double-check every fastener to ensure the bike is safe, solid, and ready for the ride ahead.

Every Goodbye Cycle bike is cleaned, detailed, and reassembled with care. Our mission is to give you the best riding experience possible without the price tag of a new bike. Whether you're a casual rider, commuter, weekend warrior, or mountain trail junkie, you'll find confidence in knowing that your bike has been professionally restored from the ground up.

When you choose Goodbye Cycle, you’re choosing quality, value, and trust. Because your next ride should be your best one yet.
