They are tools & users of tools have varying connections with maintenance & function. That makes sense. I know several quite serious riders (one who is pro) who are somewhat notorious for noisy bikes & whatnot...Clearly you can be an excellent rider, racer & tactician without having a great understanding or interest in the inner workings of the bicycle. For me the details of tuning are important but the details of making & keeping the bike pretty, colors matching & that sort of stuff not so much. I have a number of classic road bikes for which I care much more, but the workhorse training & crit racer Merlin is all about function.
