A bicycle’s owner is more than sum of his repair bill

When given the choice between doing something “okay” and doing something correct, we will choose the latter 

Objective measurements supercede our feelings (“I feel like the shifting is pretty good”)

You deserve to get what you pay for and only what you paid for

We deserve to get paid for the work you receive 

You pay for a mechanic’s best efforts; therefore you should always receive their best efforts 

You deserve to know what was done to your bike and not just things that might be done to other bikes 

We assume some responsibility for knowing what work your bike needs (it’s not entirely  your fault if you didn’t know that you were supposed to ask us to check your suspension pivots; we know that stuff and we’ll do our best to help you know) 

Some bikes are gimmick bikes.  We won’t sell you a gimmick.

Some bikes are better than others and some bikes are not better than others.  You learn the difference when you spend every day taking the things apart.

Most bikes are awesome; some bikes are carrying the nails to your coffin in their pockets 

Not all bikes require the same work

Not all riders require the same depth of work

Don’t know the difference? That’s ok.

When you respect a bicycle’s owner, you will respect their bicycle, but in that order 

Take things apart. Learn. Repeat. 

Happy bikes make happy riders.

Clean bikes are happy bikes

Clean bike shops make clean bikes.  

“Good enough” has no meaning 

Trained sales tactics are annoying

Fake answers to valid questions are unacceptable 

“I don’t know” is okay

“I’ll find out” is awesome 

The person who sells you your bike might have dirty hands; that’s okay

Torque matters

Proper assembly matters

Worn out parts can only work so well.

There’s nothing wrong with owning something beautiful

Owning only one bike is great 

Owning more than one bike is good too

We should only do the things to your bike that we would be proud to be showing you 

Treat a hammer like trained tiger: skillfully and always with a little bit of fear

Keep learning. 

Learn some more.

Ride bikes.
