Just curious about what work is being done by the shop. I care about my bikes to this degree too and a lot of people might see it as absurd, but I think it’s just a sign of the level of passion I have for the sport. I try to keep my bikes out of the shop because I care so much, I do like 95% of the work to my bikes. I ask a lot of dumb questions on here to get the jobs done to my satisfaction and the community is nice enough to help out. Buying the tools for a lot of jobs tends to be a wise investment for me in the long run because my interest in bikes for over the last 20 years hasn’t been diminishing at all. My point is… if you are willing to go to these lengths to protect your machine, why not do the work too?
