yea, I have tried to do it myself. I can't get it just right. That's why I take it to the professionals and they can usually fix whatever needs fixing. I don't need to be able to fix everything on my bike to be able to enjoy riding it. I didn't say I'm a great mechanic, but I can usually get a good feel for trust worthy mechanics.
