I don't really mind these kind of problems. Sometimes with learning, there's a price to be paid. Usually, on a bike the price of such a mistake isn't very expensive; it's more of a nuisance. There are things I do to a bike that would make a good mechanic wince, but if something goes wrong with it, well, that's okay, too. I won't go into detail, here, about what I recently did to my fat bike. All I will say about it is, it's successful, but a bike shop would not, and could not, do such a thing for a customer. I'm not exactly orthodox. It's what makes life interesting.
