If you go to any good shop, fork out the $20 but expect that they'll show you...pretty much exactly what ptle above has said.
Very best way for your long-term cycling health? Either be shown once or try it once on your own, learn the process, and never need a shop to do that simple of a job again.

Ha ha... you see the ascent here? Lol I've always suggested to young cyclist or newbies to wrenching that if you live near a college campus, you're golden. Besides the very student friendly prices with the area bike shops, you should have a bike co-op whose volunteers will teach you how to work on your bike for free.
