If I've been working on my gears/brakes they always work perfectly in
the 'shop' but needs lots of adjustment after riding around on it.
Unfortunately I don't think I've *ever* found a bike shop who seem to
do this (on one occasion they actually made the problem worse) - hence
I prefer to do this sort of work myself.
