Had a day last week where every single repair went sideways
I mean, it started simple enough. Guy brings in an old Specialized hardtail, says the rear hub feels gritty. I pull the axle and the cones are chewed up so bad I couldn't even get the locknut off clean. Took me almost 45 minutes just to extract that thing with a punch and some patience. Then the next bike, a Trek hybrid, had a bottom bracket that was seized so tight I snapped my Park Tool wrench trying to break it loose. I had to use a cheater bar and a torch to get it out, which is always sketchy on aluminum frame. By the time I got to the third bike, a simple tube replacement, the customer had put a Schrader valve tube in a Presta rim and was wondering why it leaked. Has anyone else had a stretch where it felt like the universe just wanted you to work harder for no reason?
