Our daughter has an #EarlyRider #bike with a hub gear and belt. Recently, it started skipping gears and making noise, probably because it wasn’t adjusted properly. Following the instructions in the manual, I shifted into gear 4 and tried to adjust it. It didn't work.
I took the bike to a repair shop, and the mechanic told me, “You have to shift to gear 2 to adjust it.”
"But the user manual says gear 4."
"Sir, these days, those manuals are generated by #AI and full of errors."
The mechanic shifted into gear 2, and in a moment, the gear was adjusted. 🤦
