How much would I be looking to pay on seconhand a Masi speciale? its in pretty good condition and a couple of years old. friend of mine is selling one… not sure what it should be costing me?
theres some new on the internets for $700-900… so like $400?
thanks in advance
^ @ lachlangreed stripped bearings suck to ride on… the complete opposite of smooth. But if quando is all you can afford and you dont mind repacking them often they can be ok (but ‘ok’ is very subjective!). My advice is to save up for sealed bearings if you can. velocity/formula have served me well.
adrian, masis tend to keep value relatively well because of their (somewhat now undeserved) name
but since it’s a few years old, second hand, 400-500 seems about right (to me at least)
I opened my wheelset today (YAY) and tried to put the front wheel on the fork. The fork is just a bit short to be put on the wheelset. Dad and i tried to squeeze it in but that didn’t work. Is their anyway around this?
PS. Rear wheel is fine and awesome!
^ Isaac do you mean the width of the fork (distance between the forkends) is less than the width of the axle?
Are there any spacers on the axle that can be removed?
Use a tape measure on both…measure the internal distance between the forkends and the external distance of the axle.
Ha, I think I half did that to mine. Either the rear is tight fitting (like skinny jeans) or a tad undersize. Look’s sick though. I’m not sure about the fork though in both colour and size.
