Speaking of hearing loss, the mechanic working next to me today had a tube explode inside the tire they were repairing. It happened about three feet from me. Very loud.

If it comes back positive, I will have ruined my daughter's opportunity to play with her softball team in the National Championship tournament that starts this coming weekend.

Should not have been tested. The rate of positivity goes down the less people get tested. AIR?

Sram chains are fine.

That’s good to know. Thanks.

We've got a bunch of college-educated people here and yet we have to go through all this rigmarole to figure out how to fix a silly little bike part. It's moronic.

Faultless logic, right there.

When they sever me eventually, likely as not I'll be a stay-at-home non-dad. You will all rue that day.

That’s why I get to charge a billing rate right up there with a cheap hooker.

I fixed several silly little bikes today. No rigmarole required.

Not being up to date on the current rates for hookers - cheap or otherwise - I don’t have a way to judge whether your advice is a good value or not.

Good thing. The rigamorole adjuster from Park Tool is pretty expensive.

It is considerably easier when you can lay hands on them.

As they say, it’s worth what you pay for it.

You're paid to figure it out.
