Now, I work in a real bike shop. Not to say the shop I worked at before wasn't a real bike shop, but I do a lot more work for racers and enthusiasts at my current job, and they have a lot more demands than flat tires and racks. So, I learned how to overhaul a fork today.
Anything on a bike containing fluids, short of a water bottle, used to be frightening and alien to me. Now, I can bleed hydraulic brakes fairly well, and now, the fork is demystified for me. Sadly, it took my service manager, 5 years my junior, at least a few hours to walk me through it. Granted, we were helping customers throughout the day, but the boss nonetheless made a comment about how long I'd been working on that fork. Considering how much the boss is focused on his computer all day, it's not a good thing when he notices you've been stuck on one thing for a long time. Oh well.
Today I learned how to overhaul a Fox F29 RL front fork. Cool.
