The op actually had that proviso, which has been omitted by the quote

Im not sure I feel qualified to comment on this issue.

Its funny that, as the knowledge I have with bikes is acquired the same way my knowledge of computer systems. I've learnt it through doing it. I've not got any formal qualifications, done and exams and yet some fool decided I can look after bank clearance systems and stock markets for Europe.
Oh the irony.

Grinch, same as you...what I know about bikes, is a result of having to fix things on my bike, or watching my dad sort his bikes (generally roped in to holding a torch). What I've come to know about everything else is due to a general interest in engines and that kinda thing in general. Oh, and application of common sense

I feel more confident working on my bike, and offering advice on fixing problems that i've previously encountered, than doing what i am actualy qualified to do (chemistry)

I have the following letters.

BTEC (nat Dip) Gen. Eng
BSC BMT Hons 2.1
PGCE D&T

This makes me a jack of all trades and a master of none and as a tekka i'll almost always engage my gob before my brain.

Substitue 'mechanical' for 'legal', and I'm often doing that too.

Sometimes I post things that are actually quotes from the man at the end of the couch

Carnivore BEng (Hons) Comp Aided Eng
and about ten years or so of building bikes, he started that in a bike shop.
So its not necessarily me giving the advice(which doesn't happen often as tech stuff goes), as usually he can't be ar$ed to log in.

me I just have life skilz innit....and more knowledge/experience than some give me credit for. I try hard not to hand out advice that I haven't used/experienced.

But I have helped swap a cylinder head

Mostly the best advice is from people who don´t have letters after their names, because they get on with the job rather then procrastinating about how to do it
