• I bet you’ve got about five spare bikes to ride while yours is being cosseted back to health.

    I’ve got one bike so I don’t want it languishing in a queue at the bike shop.

    Bike mechanics have never been so in demand and they’ve let that power go to their heads. They’re unbearable.

  • Bike mechanics ... [t]hey’re unbearable.

    Unfortunately, IME often incompetent and not to be trusted with tools. Tool up and DIY. It's the only way to ensure the job is done the right way.

  • Until you fuck up, then a real mechanic will have to clean your mess and put up with your distrust, because of course you know better.
