I'm the guy in my neighborhood who fixes people's bikes in exchange for expenses and beer. I spent 12 months as a full-time mechanic in an LBS (2010-11), did the two-week course at UBI, and I check the forums here quite a bit for things that aren't covered in the usual references. I consider myself an entry-level bike geek.

Always looking for new tricks and ways to cut down on my usual meathead blunders.
