Now - no. After you've done your homework on cup & cone adjustment, and gotten hold of a cone wrench - sure.
But if you're the kind of guy that's intimidated by taking the wheel off to fix a flat, then leave it to the pros. Some mechanical aptitude is required.
As a bona fide nerd, I'm always up for learning something new and taking matters into my own hands. Anywhere you can recommend that would be a good place to start learning about cones and locknuts and such?
