the ride-ready audit
Our compatibility engine checks that your parts fit. It cannot tell you whether the build is right for you. That is what this is: a vetted bike shop pro reads your entire spec before you buy the parts, confirms it all works together, and flags anything you'd regret two rides in.
Fitment is math, and software is good at math. Feel isn't. Right damper, right travel, right geometry for the trails you actually ride, right tire for the dirt you actually have. A compatibility engine cannot answer any of that, and getting it wrong is expensive in a way that only shows up after the box arrives.
The audit happens before you buy, which is the entire point. A flagged part is a five-second swap in the Builder at that stage. After you've ordered it, it's a return window and a restocking fee.
Per-category sign-off
A real mechanic goes through the spec part by part. Frame, fork, shock, wheels, drivetrain, brakes, cockpit. Each one comes back signed off or flagged, with the reason attached.
Compatibility + trail-suitability notes
Two different questions. Whether the parts physically fit, and whether they suit the riding you actually do. The engine answers the first one. A human is the only thing that answers the second.
A Build Certificate
A PDF of the verdict against a locked snapshot of your spec. Keep it, send it to a shop, or hand it over with the bike if you ever sell it.
