I maintain all of the family's bikes (6 in total) So having a few LBS close by is convenient for the very basic parts. anything more specific I'll get on line. But occasionally I get my road bike properly serviced. I could do it, I have most of the tools, the stand, the knowledge.. But life's too short, right? and I trust my mechanic friends more than I trust myself. Especially before heading off to tackle +260km of the Ardennes next month.
I guess everyone has their own preference to either hands-on maintenance or professional servicing.
