I have read several of your post (including a reply to a question of mine,which I really appreciate) and I'm now wondering....how do you know so much about bikes?
Are you just mechanically minded?
and is there a good way to learn ? Any tips on learning?
Thanks!
How do I know so much about bikes - because I hang out HERE on the forum! ~ LOL!
Actually I have had lots of experience fixing things myself, and I've worked as a project manager for commercial construction. After awhile of that, you figure out all sorts of creative ways to pull things apart and put them back together.
Bonus is that I usually end up hanging out with my guy friends among whom are an architect, a historical restoration specialist, a machinist, a gunsmith, a blacksmith, and others who know all about how things are constructed/made/can be unassembled.
So I can usually work something out unless I've never seen the issue before; that's when you see me asking questions here..."how come this is doing that?" ???
Answer to your question: To learn, keep reading here and ask questions. I've always appreciated that on this forum no one ever says "that's a stupid question", and that you can get multiple answers to work on your dilemma very quickly.
As verslagen1 said - keeping hanging around; they grow on ya.
