Adjusting brakes...so hard to get everything in the right spot and then not mess it up in the process of tightening things! One of those jobs that makes one wish that she had three hands.

Or a third hand tool ... when googling I see that Park Tool no longer makes those! Why in the world? They still do make the cable puller aka fourth hand tool ... Of course everything is SO much easier with a modern brake caliper with quick-release and barrel adjuster, but still.

Most frustrating for me is that I postpone things so that when I start fixing something I find out lots of stuff doesn't work, is worn out or needs replacing.. So that a quiet happy few hours tinkering with my bike turns into a two week planning and fixing epic with my bike in a million pieces.
