2015 Niner Air 9 Carbon Mountain Bike Large 29" SRAM XX1 X01 RockShox

Description

The bicycles we sell are best described as "Project Bikes" that have one or more of the following issues:
- frame damage
- defective and/or worn-out parts
- parts that are missing
We don't perform any maintenance or repair work on the bicycles in our inventory. At a minimum, a bicycle purchased from us will need to be professionally assembled and inspected for safe operation. Most will also need extensive service work.
CONDITION
Our visual inspection of this bicycle was focused mainly on the structural integrity of the frame, with less effort devoted to inspection of the components (suspension, cockpit, drivetrain, wheels).
Damage that
exceeds
the following common conditions is described further down in this section:
- light scratches and small dings
- minor damage to finish due to cable, heel, and chain rub
- what might be typical for a bike of this type and/or age (e.g. crank arm damage from curb and/or rock strikes, etc.)
Frame
We found damage in the following location(s):
- Structural carbon damage on drive side top tube - will need to be repaired prior to being considered safe to ride
- Structural crack in frame where front derailleur cable would come out of frame
- Light scratching on drive side stays near drop out
- Light scratching on down tube near bottle cage bolts
- Light scratches on back of seat tube
- Several light/medium scratches on non-drive side stays
- Non-drive side cable port is missing grommet
It's the buyer's sole responsibility, ideally in consultation with a carbon repair expert, to determine whether or not any area of carbon damage identified in this listing actually needs to be repaired in order for this bicycle to be considered safe to ride, specifically with respect to the structural integrity of the frame. For expert inspection and repair of damaged carbon, we recommend Broken Carbon in Boulder, CO.
Other than the damage noted above, frame in fair condition.
Suspension Fork
- Lockout doesn't work properly
- Small scratch inside drive side stanchion
*Disclaimer*
Service history of fork is unknown - buyer should assume that service (rebuilding) is likely needed at this time, and in some cases complete replacement might be necessary.
Cockpit (grips/handlebar/stem
/seatpost/
saddle)
- Light scratches on seatpost
Drivetrain (controls/brakes/derailleurs/crankset/cassette/chain)
- Shifting functions, but all components heavily used
- Brakes function, but not well - pads/rotors will need to be replaced very soon and system bled
Wheelset
- Large dent in drive side rear wheel
- Both wheels have moderate wear

With regard to the current state of tune and continued serviceability of the components (cockpit, drivetrain, wheels), assume the following:
- We have not checked the torque values of bolts and other fasteners on this bicycle, and it's certainly possible that some, and maybe even all, of these fasteners are not tightened to the manufacturers' recommended torque specifications, and, in fact, might actually be loose (e.g. loose enough to cause a component or small part to move unexpectedly or fall off, or otherwise cause a safety hazard and risk of personal injury or death).
- We have not checked the condition or adjustment of bearings (headset, bottom bracket, derailleur pulley, hub, freehub), and some or all might need to be adjusted or replaced.
- We have not checked the operation of drivetrain control components (shifters, brakes, derailleurs), and some or all might need to be adjusted. In the case of bikes with hydraulic brakes, the front and/or rear brake systems might need to be bled.
- We have not evaluated the condition and remaining service life of drivetrain wear components (brake pads, disc brake rotors, cables/housing, chainrings, cassette, chain), and some or all might need to be replaced.
- In the case of bikes with disc brakes, we have not checked the alignment of the rotors, and one or both might need to be trued.
- We have not checked the alignment of the wheels, and one or both might need to be trued and/or dished.
- We have not evaluated the condition of the tires or tubes, and some or all might need to be replaced. In the case of bikes with tubeless compatible rims, we have not checked to see if tubeless tape and/or tubeless valve stems are installed. In the case of bikes with tubular tires, we have not evaluated the age or condition of the tubular glue, and it's prudent to assume that the tires need to be re-glued in order achieve a safe and reliable adhesion between tires and rims.
