I began to work on my own bike for the same reasons you expressed, and now I’ve gotten to the point where the only thing I don’t do is true my own wheels, and that might be something I give a go at some point. But the other thing I have learned is that for what you end up paying the LBS, you can buy the tool and then do it yourself. And next time the same problem comes about, you’re positive $. That and you don’t have to wait for their next mechanic to have time to work on your bike. It gets done that day.
