"I need to get a small spirit level so I can make sure my bike seat is completely level".
:laugh:

I've used a spirit level on my bike a few times. Once to help me measure fork rake, and another time to compare the setup of two different bikes.

The pros have a special jig for making measurements, and then replicating all the settings after a bike has been worked on.

A glass of water will be accurate enough - you don't need a spirit level really...

Having your wife understand your bikes is NOT necessarily a good thing

The days of sneaking in parts or not being entirely truthful about the cost are no longer a possibility

But look what happens when you can't sneak a new wheel past your wife...
