I just got my bike back in a case from the LBS at the USAT NAtionals. I put it back together by myself for the first time. Guess what? IT WORKS!!! I’ll never pay a bike shop to do that again. It was SO easy…even I can do it…
Good to hear! My mortal fear with doing long distance races is being able to put my bike back together. Like basic car maintenance, I should do better with bike repairs beyond tire changes!
