Actually I passed the "what will happen if I do this" stage, at least for the basic technologies I work on, long, long ago. Actually, more the blind ignorance stage -- as when I failed to realize that you can't use a ~125 mm bb spindle on those pretty CNC'd Grafton cranks (at least if you want your chainline in the right county; it took a contemptuous bike mechanic to point out the fault); or -- first full bike build, circa late 1970, -- when I failed to realize that the wheel size had to be matched to the frame type (the bike ended up with two different sized wheels, a freewheel, and no brakes, but I rode it all over the countryside and city anyway). Or when I grasped for the first time, installing a superlight Topline, the concept of torque limits.
