What to check before you buy

A used hybrid or commuter bike should be judged on how much life is left in its consumables, because that is where the cost is. Check the chain, cassette, brake pads and tyres - on a bike ridden daily in all weathers these may all be due at once. Look for rust on the chain and cables, corrosion around bolts if it has been stored outside, and check the wheels spin true. Mudguards, a rack and lights add real value if they are included, so confirm what comes with it.
