Ben, This is why I cry in the parking lot after I drop my bike off. Because I know it’s completely plausible that my bike will come back in worse shape than I left it because shops in this town don’t know about bikes like mine - bikes with dyno and fenders. I’ve had a lot of parts installed wrong during my time in Vegas. But dyno is new to me, too, so I don’t know what a normal Schmidt SON sounds like. My Shutter Precision is quiet and gives me a bright light. That’s what I have to go on.
I’ll just have to hope whoever works on my Platy will realize those are sealed bearings. It won’t be the mechanic who checked me in today, so at least there’s that...
