DIY or Dealer?

Tmall · 11-30-2009, 06:22 AM

The shop saw my bike for the first service.

Then I bought the service manual, and one of the techs cautioned me,"you sure you're confident with that?" the service consists of looking the lines of the bike over for leaks and chafing, adjusting a bolt to adjust the primary chain tension, changing the oil. And that's about it, all for the low price of 300 bones!

Ya, I'm confident I won't be paying those prices.

Most ppl walk in there and say, "here's some money.." I walk in to borrow wrenches to install parts in their parking lot..
