  • I recommend any cyclists at least try doing their own bike work. I started with swapping to hydraulic brakes, rotor and pad swap, different bar and grips, swapped the fork and all accompanying bearings due to different fork dimensions, laced up new wheels, swapped derailleurs to accomodate larger rear cog, ran new internal lines for brakes and shifting, adjusted the derailleurs, and probably more.

    The only things I consider kind of annoying would be lacing a wheel for a bunch of reasons, and running the shift lines since it can seemingly be done poorly enough to make adjustment impossible. I guess realizing you don’t have the tool or have the wrong size of it for any of the tasks is also a pain in the ass if your local shop doesn’t stock the one your bike needs.

    I’ve worked with many many people this decade that got paid more than me to do literally fuck all for the whole shift and got approved for overtime more frequently where they continued to be absolutely useless but they kissed the correct asses and sucked the right toes.
