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.

LOL, I still have a tube in my tool box from the 80s. Found it funny that since (until 91) the hubs & BB were set up so you couldn't open them, that they sold grease..
The Phil Wood Spoke machines are great too
