Just do what I did near 40 years ago . Quit paying someone else to work on your bike . You don't come off like a garden variety vegetable so it can't be any harder than doing yearly taxes or do you have someone do that too ? The FSM assumes that you have a brain and "some" experience . Unfortunately The Manual also assumes you have some "uncommon sense" , most upright walking apes do not . What you have now is instant access to an entire world of information and experience . What I had was no money , a broken bike , a father with tools , a machinist down the alley and one mechanic willing to talk to me . I read everything Gordon Jennings ever wrote . I came to understand Kevin Cammeron and appreciate his fine mind . I absorbed all the classic designers intuition I could find . 40 years later I think I get it finally and I'm still an information sponge . Most people I take the time to type to end up being too lazy or cheep to buy the manual or have an IQ somewhat less than that of a garden vegetable . In the end though someone almost always benefits from my experience . Either that or I toss the broom and the manual at them and ask them if they're smarter than either ....
