Acceptable submissions include the following:

  • Excessive damage to equipment

  • Poorly executed maintenance

  • Calamitous results of complete lack of maintenance

  • Bizarre component choices

  • Generally amusing things that show up at the shop

Restrictions on posts include:

  • No Bum Bars. We’ve all seen them and we’re not interested.

The cable housing is average. Big really.

Time to put a longer housing on so the noodle doesn’t rub the leg. Maybe I’ll finally get the brake adjusted right to actually be useable on this unicycle.

I ride a 26 inch beach cruiser and somehow the spokes on my back tire have pushed to one side. How do I fix this, and is there a way to separate them without taking the tire apart?

Customer asked "Why did it stop pedaling?"

Us: "When was the last time you had a tune up?"

Customer: "I never had one, that's a car thing." 😑
