I was reluctant to take my bicycle to the shop to get the bottom bracket fixed. Mostly, because my bike is old and Czechoslovakian. I was concerned that they might not have the right tools or parts to fix it, and they might accidentally make things worse.
How silly of me! This shop is amazing! They can do anything! I'll bet they could even make my bicycle fly!
I started the new chapter to this saga with the help of my English class students. I needed to know the Spanish words for ball bearings - baleros, stuck - atascado, and replace - reemplazar. I really like asking the students for help with Spanish words. I hope it shows them that the teachers are human too and there's no shame in asking.
The fellow at the bike shop service counter isn't chatty, or into helping me with my Spanish much. But he's true to his word. He said we can fix that in two hours. I went for a walk. Came back 2 hours later. And voila!! A brand new bottom bracket installed for about $10 Canadian. I am soooo happy!Pictures:
