Really? Not a highly skilled job? Tell that to the mechanics on the world cup circuit. Most good mechanics will know a ridiculous amount of obscure but important facts about the stupid number of old standards that are still out there, as well as the new standards that come out every year. Do you know which side of the pinch bolt you route the cable on a Shimano R440 front derailleur? Or the difference between a 2.25 tire and a 2 1/4 tire? There are literally thousands of details that either aren't in any manual anywhere or are in a manual printed in the early 90's. A good mechanic is not an idiot who hits the bike with a hammer until he thinks it's fixed. We don't expect a beer as a tip from anyone, but it's always nice when someone appreciates the hard work you put into their bike, and sure the next time that customer comes in, we will go out of our way to make sure they get better service and/or give them a break on service or parts. Secondly, some of you need a sense of humor, and learn to take things with a grain of salt.

You're a fucking moron, learn to read.
