Hello. New here, have just posted in the Welcome Mat thread.
As I said there, am being sent a Cannondale R800 bought off eBay, wheels in separate package. Being a total noob to road bikes (well, to taking off or putting on any sort of wheel, truth be told), would it be good practice for me to put them on myself, not knowing a thing about brakes, chain, gears and the like, or best to go to local LBS (lots of good ones here in Lucca, obviously, one I know pretty well) and get him to do it?
I'm probably over-analysing this and it's a piece-of-p*ss to do, but thought I'd ask as I cycle alone and have not got anyone here to ask who wouldn't likely snort at me. Thanks.
