>>1301602I used to get frustrated wrenching on bikes, but now I enjoy it. Even when stuff goes wrong. There's always something you can do. That just takes a bit of experience and confidence.
Bikes are really quite simple though. It's not even vaguely as confusing or frustrating or hopeless as working on a car.
Think of cutting a notch in stripped cleat bolts with a chisel, or having to replace a crank because you stripped the threads, as just part of your fun hobby. Relax and think holistically about the whole process.
