I made almost as much money repairing sew-ups than I did working at the shop or building up racing wheels.
Polishing the races on campy and dura ace hubs paid pretty gud tho, $10 each and all it took was 15 minutes each a dab of crest toothpaste, and some Phil wood waterproof grease.
Is there still such thing as phil wood grease? that was the hot ticket back when I was yer age.
now GOML.

Phil Wood grease? That funny, I had some of that stuff. once you get it on your fingers, you can't really wash it off and the smell just wouldn't go away. I had many dinners with some PhilWood grease on my fingers.
