New kh20 squeaking ? strange noise

why get a shifter/wrench/spanner if you can take it to someone who fixes
wheels all the time and have them do it? I have my own set of
shifters/spanners/wrenches and I'll do small tune ups to keep my spokes
sounding the same but most of the time I'm too lazy/busy to do it myself
so why not take it to someone who knows what they're doing?




because it's a useful life skill to learn if you're going to get in to
cycling, particularly cycling which is going to knock your wheel out of
line with reasonable frequency, like unicycle trials. I've found that
many bike shops really aren't that particular in their wheelbuilds,
especially when they can't use their precious trueing stand, so doing
it yourself is often more effective, and indeed in my case quicker than
driving to the bike store and back.

Each to their own, but there is deffinitely some value in learning to
do your own wheel building/trueing.
