I had bike shops mess that up on me, one time my quill stem came completely off the bike, right in front of traffic.
The best was when the “whiz kid” mechanic used gear cables on my brakes. I’m lucky they snapped on the flats, i could have died in the wrong place!
Now i prefer to be the one to make the dumb mistakes. At least I assume I’ll screw up and thus triple check my work.
