It's not so much the garage as it is the tools
in the garage
. Hard to wrench on the bike without a wrench.

Who said I was going to a shop? That's the price for new lines...
But believe me, I do get your point. Fact of the matter is that the brakes work well enough that I feel confident in their ability to stop the bike. At the moment I have neither the time nor the money to invest in making them stop the bike even better than they do currently. There is about a month left in the good riding season, and over the winter I hope to find some more time to wrench and upgrade various parts of the bike. But until then, I'm going to simply have to live with the brakes being good enough to do their job.
