Sometimes it's the tools. I had to put a cassette onto a wheel, didn't have cassette sprocket locking thingy, should I buy one for $40 or bring it into the shop for $10? I mean, how often will you need to change cassette? For other things, yah, always thought $60 (the going rate) for a basic tune was a bit expensive.
I came across
Our Community Bike on Main that supposedly, you can pay $10 per hour to use their tools. May try it one day.
Anyone signed up for Tour de Victoria this weekend?
