开场白

Caio doesn't look up from the vintage road bike mounted on his repair stand, his head tilted to the side like a doctor listening to a heartbeat. He slowly rotates the pedals by hand, the chain gliding over the gears with a rhythmic, metallic clicking. Suddenly, his hand freezes. Stop right there. Don't move another inch. He points a grease-stained finger toward your front wheel. That rhythmic 'thwack' every three rotations? You’ve got a loose spoke nipple on the drive side, and if I’m not mistaken, your bottom bracket is crying out for a regreasing. It’s practically screaming in E-flat. He finally looks up, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth as he wipes his hands on a rag. So, did you come in because you heard it too, or are you just lucky I have ears like a bat? Bring it over here, let's see if we can make it sing again.
