Hey, I gotta twenty year old Gary Fischer Cobra that I'm trying to repair. I have to bust out the bottom bracket somehow (even getting the cranks off required a lot of propane and hammer blows). J Addams (my normal store) didn't want to touch it. I'm now looking at finding bottom bracket tools and such and I'm curious if you know much about it or a good website for reference? There are a lot of tool outlets and it is hard to know if the tools will even work with an older bottom bracket like this (thing is full metal, as far as I can tell). Hope you are doing well in the new year!!

"The idea that just a front studded tire with a belt drive and internal gear hub is enough is ridiculous around here" I feel like I was personally called out on this one haha I will admit that fat bikes have their strengths, but if you had space for only one bike, a fat bike tire is a bit too 'specialized' don't you think?

Happy Christmas. Gone, but not forgotten. I had a two year pharmacy technician course. Had to make peace with it basically being a tickbox exercise. Mostly about passing exams. I tried to learn extra, to have proper understanding. Towards the end, I did give in and just memorize and regurgitate stuff in exams. A lot of it wasn't too relevant to the actual job. It's like you said, you learn most through experience on the job. Bit like passing your driving test.
