Think that’s the best idea especially if BB3 has limited mechanical knowledge. While I like my 34Dat, keeping the setup stock will mean it’s much easier asking for help on the forum if needed.

Or better still, weigh it in. You won't get as much, but it'll save the unsuspecting buyer a world of Weber pain.
