  1. It’s interesting how bikes are becoming smarter but also more complex to repair at home. DIY culture is slowly shifting because you can’t just tweak things without proper tools anymore. Still, a passionate mechanic can adapt—learning these systems opens doors to higher-level expertise and better opportunities. Sky Exchange
