Couple of questions

Hey guys, I have a few questions that I’m not sure are appropriate for this forum, so if they’re not feel free to remove. Here goes:

In 2001 I purchased a Cannondale F600 mountain bike and had all sorts of plans for riding and trips etc. Very shortly after I bought it I severely sprained my back and tore my knee all in the same event. Long story short, my back and my knee have never been the same and riding just isn’t going to work. So, I have this bike that has been ridden exactly 2 times and is still in brand new condition. My questions are these: what do you all think this bike is worth at this point? (retail was roughly $1500) I’m not interested in hsolist as shipping or more specifically packing seems truly problematic. Do any of you know of a place were I could list it that would serve the Twin Cities metro area so that I could deliver, or someone could pick it up? (bike is in Hudson WI)

Your advice on where and how to begin would be greatly appreciated.

you can list it here for a small fee, I've successfully sold a couple things from this site!! you can always put it on hsolist and list it as "pickup only" then you don't need to worry about shipping. generally when you are selling a used bike, you are shooting to get about half of what you have in it, maybe a little less. it's always hard selling used stuff that is like new!! good luck!!

Sorry you can't ride any longer Magneto, that's a bummer.

I would suggest you list it on hsolist for the Minneapois/St.Paul area. The listings are free. Just google hsolist and you will find it.

Bikes are a bit like cars in that they can depreciate right off the lot. Just make sure that you mention how little it was ridden, and include the what type of componentry is on the bike and you will be o.k.

Listing it here is a great option. The mebership here is huge and the numbers of trollers is even bigger. For a very small fee you get a lot of exposure on this site. Just check the for sale forums to see how much activity there is. I've sold everything from electronics to truck tires.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
