My reply merely was a wry response to your implication that I was not aware of the intent of the forum, not to boost myself up. I expect each post to stand on its own merits. My posts above are not a personal criticism, but rather a critique of the "shotgun" method of diagnosis and of the oft repeated claim that bike repair is very easy and only takes common sense. Anyone is welcome to disagree, but it's up to each person to decide what is helpful or not.
