Dude, you don't have to tell me about the just basic maintenance that people just seem to refuse to do to their bikes to just keep them running, it drives me insane - how hard is it to first wipe the chain off of all the gunk on it BEFORE you apply the new lube, IF you apply any new lube anyways.
But I enjoy tinkering with mine, finding out that despite being a heavier overall solution using "X" tyre, with what looks to be more aggressive knobs, it actually rolls faster/better than the lesser treaded and lighter tyre, yet also offers more grip - weird and strange, yet wonderful.
Or when 29ers first came on the market and figuring out that if you built your wheel using an SS hub, you got a much stronger, dishless wheel and could still cram 5, 6,7 maybe even 8 cogs on there and have a good gear range.
