I do a lot of my own bike repairs. When I take it to the local shop, they can fix it better than I can. When it's slow my local shop will show me how to do some tips on some of the different repairs. I replaced all the cables and shifters on my bike and I had a hard time getting the derailleur adjustments correct.

I had to replace some spokes, that would have taken me a while to do on my own and some specialized equipment I won't need again for a decade.

Lol yeah, I tried building my own wheel, and getting it true was such an art that I ended up writing my thesis about bicycle spokes...
