But if you want to believe otherwise , feel free to do so.
Yeah because all I mentioned was arcane components. Of course learning Di2, EPS, eTap, working on hydraulic brakes and how to work on eBikes and all the intricacies and so many other things are not part of being a mechanic. Sure fixing a flat shouldn't need a mechanic but people keep coming in day in and day out
