I have never been accused of being a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I am fairly mechanically inclined. I have excellent eye hand coordination, and I understand simple mechanical concepts. I don't always need to read instructions to build toys or furniture, and I know when to go to the diagrams! I can change a tire, the oil in my car, and even replace spark plugs! As a youth, I even helped rebuild an engine! I am excellent in math, and enjoy logic problems and puzzles. I have more tools than any other guy in the neighborhood, and I actually know how to use them. This being said, why is it so damn hard to adjust the rear derailluer on my bike? I watch every you tube video I can find and yet nothing seems to work. I understand the concept of what needs done, yet I cannot get it just right. My current challenge is that the bike will not run smooth in granny gear, it keeps wanting to jump up towards the spokes . Before you ask what the hell I am doing in granny gear, think Mohican and think Great Seal. Big climbs and I suck at climbing! Big weekend of riding coming up, would appreciate any advice! And don't say bike shop, they cannot get it right either!
