Good on ya man. Bikes are not hard to repair. Being able to do it yourself is a super bonus. Kind of like knowing how to fix your own computer. It's usually not hard to do, but if you don't know how to do it and have to take it to the shop.
Be prepared for 1 of 2 things.
1) getting charged a LOT
2) waiting a whackload of time AND getting charged a lot to have it fixed.
