I'm capable of doing most tasks on a bike. However, I still have one major tune-up on each bike done by a local mechanic who is now a friend of mine. The tune-up includes a few upgrades and the bike is ready for another year. If I need to change tires, a chain or cassette, I'll do that at home. I wish I had time to maintain my fleet independent of help, but other demands on my time make doing all the work needed on every bike practically impossible.
