    When driving in an unfamiliar

    When driving in an unfamiliar area you start working out gearing for climbs and lines for descents and how many miles you need to have warmed up before tackling said climb.

    LUL WUT??? why would you even let someone else touch your bike? It kills me to go to a garage to get something done to my car if I’m not able to do it myself.

    BUT ON A BIKE?

    Hand in your mancard already…

     


    1. Who says I’m a man with a man card to surrender?
    2. I do plenty of maintenance on my bikes myself.
    3. We don’t all have the luxury of time to spend on maintenance, I do have the luxury of being able to afford to pay for someone else to do it.
    4. I’m supporting my excellent independent LBS by having them do it.
    5. Welcome to the site itaa, hopefully your subsequent posts will be more constructive than your first.
