Some people should not work on their own bikes. This is not an insult, just something that I've observed over a number of years fixing massive DIY f-ups. That said, as a mechanical object, the bicycle is quite approachable for an amateur wrench, so for a person who has the aptitude and inclination and tools, I say have at it. I believe there are lots of fine bike mechanics in any large-ish city. There are also lots of shops that employ inexperienced mechanics in the busy season. It can be a trick to find the mech who's compatible with our bikes and personalities.
As a parallel to the above: I have learned over the years that I should not do home improvement/repair projects. MUCH easier and cheaper and faster and better to find an experienced person to do it for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
