I learned to fix my own bikes so only have myself to blame.
And YouTube.
The industry response is "the Internet won't fix your bike" which is bullshit when Youtube means I can build internal cabled Cervelos and di2 bikes in my kitchen
Does your kitchen have a vice? Mine doesn't. When it does though...
Actually, I'm too fucking lazy busy to build whole bikes these days. That's one thing I like my LBS and/or TBW for. Hmm, maybe if I had a work stand.
A lot of people cannot and do not want to do that.
A lot of shops are clinging on to workshops as a way of surviving. Good bike mechanics are like gold dust and I only know three (two are on here...)
