Lets not get into wheel maintenance/repair.

A caveman couldnt do any of those services, to be clear. It seems like you are intentionally trying to insult bike mechanics.

Sometimes people value money over time while others value time over money. Neither is right or wrong.
And many are just damned lazy and/or ignorant….to become self sufficient. IMO the vast majority, don’t make a conscious/fiscal decision to pay to have their bike fixed….they just don’t know how…and it doesn’t dawn on them to even google the subject
