Inherited this ProFlex.

[tommyray]

I got this bike in an inheritance I am 63 250 pounds in it just does not fit me. What is it worth? I cannot get the tires to stay filled they have these weird valve stems? Paralax Rims. GLS rear swing arm. The shifters are a little gummy.

Not a lot the fork is the most valuable piece

I've not seen the material of HED rims close-up, but the rims look 'different' shall we say? HED-ish? Surely not?

Pretty basic Proflex Animal with stock Magura HydroStop rim brakes.
The valves are normal presta valves with extenders attached (to presta valves with nut untwisted).
$400 Craigslist’s special at the very most.

Erm, I think I can see rectangular areas on the rims where stickers were - the same size and shape as a HED sticker? If so, some $$ as I think they're quite well desired by some

You need to check the wheels out. If they are Heds, I think they may well be as they did come fitted to some proflex models, then you have a very sort after set of wheels. There was 2 main versions of the wheels from what I remember and the cheaper version I think was fitted to the Proflexes. However the guys on the Yeti Facebook groups would really want those wheels. My guess is $1000 or more wouldn't be out of the question for the wheels alone if they are in good condition . Ebay would probably be your best best and do global shipping as there will also be a lot of interest outside of the US. The rest of the bike as said above most of the value is a the forks so maybe $100-200.

Thanks for the input. The rims are Paralax?

The rims are Paralax

No the hubs are parallax. Take the tyres off and see if there is any writing on the rims to confirm if they are Heds. There may not be, I don't know as I don't own a set.
