Most of the time being a bike mechanic is pretty easy. It really isn't that hard. Anybody can do it, except this guy.
Mechanic: That rack isn't going to work on your bike.
Customer: Why?
M: You don't have the proper mounting eyelets and I don't have any clamps large enough to fit the oversized stays.
C: Ok. When will it be ready?
M: Never. It isnt safe. Im not mounting your rack.
C: Cant you get the parts?
M: The parts dont exists. It isnt going to happen. I can order you a rack that will work.
C: I like this one.
M: So do I.
C: Ill just go to the hardware store.
M: ...
C: Ill take it.
M: It cant work. Dont do it.
C: Ill put it on my other bike.
M: What kind of bike is that?
C: Ummm...
Welcome to the mechanic's gambit, in which the bike will never be worked on unless the rack is sacrificed. What a waste of everyone's time.
