Trying and spectacularly failing is in the job-description of the C&V bike wrench!
I say go for it. The bigger the fumble the more fun it is! It's not like these bikes are worth a whole lot of money or anything. Or at least that's the kind of C&V stuff I do!
Big +1...everyone sees my successes. Not many see the failures, although I try to minimize them
