As for the drawings/diagrams. Did you draw those? I really like them and I love diagrams like that. I feel like I need those so I can hang up... Maybe I'm just being weird, but I really like them
Thank you; yes, those are my drawings. I've about 250 of them right now; they're for a project I work on in my spare time-- a graphic how-to to bike repair I'd like to make into a web page eventual... the problem is, I keep getting sidetracked on it. Working on headsets? I start that, then decide I better show the reader how to remove a stuck stem. It's sprawling, far more so then when I envisoned it. That, alas, is the nature of problem solving.
Some of it could obviously be re-used for the buyer guide; there's a completed section on checking headset adjustment, for example.
I do think a text version isn't useless, however, as it could be printed out. Do people still do that?
