I tried to fix my old bike instead of buying a new one

The chain kept slipping and I thought it would be a quick 30 minute fix. It turned into a three hour project because I had to learn how to adjust the derailleur limits from a YouTube video. I felt so proud when I finally got it rolling smoothly again! Has anyone else saved something from the landfill with a simple repair?

Three hours for a "quick fix" is a whole MOOD.

Gotta say @anna_henderson, three hours is a lot for a mood. Sometimes a fix is just a fix, you know?

Used to think fixing stuff was a waste of time. Spending three hours on that bike taught me the real win is learning how it works. What's the last thing you fixed yourself?
