It is always a little embarrassing when the mechanic can't reproduce something, but the wrench is much taller and heavier than I am. I would say he weighs at least 100 pounds more than I do and probably a little more than that. He is also over 6 ft, so seeing him on my little Jamis was quite funny One of the other wrenches said he looks like that on most bikes. He did say that a light touch on the brakes, especially at this stage, tends to set harmonics in motion.

They really do give a lot of free advice there and try other solutions before those that involve money. I think it is almost time to make cookies for them again
