Looks like crap, but it works!

Had one of the fancy Velcro straps get in the front derailleur. First time
I tried it! The LBS refunded my money and repaired the derailleur.
Funny thing, I bought the strap while I was waiting to get a wheel trued.
When he turned the first spoke it twisted the rim tape and tube and the
tire blew out on the stand. They took care of that as well. I still had to
pay for the wheel service.
