I bought my bike off craigslist and I've been doing all my repairs myself. There is a bike co-op in my town that has all the specialty tools and knowledge base to help me with any repair I need to perform. It is incredibly satisfying to roll in with an issue, wrench on it for a bit, then roll out good as new. And cheap too! $5 to use a stand and tools (or $50 for a year's membership), and they usually have all the spare parts you could ever need at competitive prices. It's a great place.

so your job is boring so you have time to write here and complain about things on your bike./

Hopefully your shop was just overloaded! I'm another who's mechanic is closer than any other person could be so I don't have these issues. But if I ever needed it, I do have a bike shop chomping at the bit to do my mechanical work for me.. and I'm pretty sure they'll do anything/everything I ask. Too bad they don't do wheel building though! That's one skill I haven't added fully to the arsenal yet (lacing from identical rim to identical rim don't count)

and your job is so boring that you get on here and troll for posts to write crappy rebuttals to.
