I'm trying to do the math, but I can't get it to add up.

I'm pretty good at most adjustments on my bike, but the mechanic I'm referring to is far faster and better. The derailleur adjustments are a case in point.
Also, I like visiting bike shops and talking to fellow enthusiasts. If I can support the local economy, talk shop, and get a spot on adjustment in a minute or two, everyone wins.
