[tor.general] paper *is* stronger than steel.

An 8,5*11 piece of paper blown by the wind tried to follow the chain path
around the gears of my bicycle's rear derailleur.  It jammed, twisted the
S-shaped piece enough to rip the two sides apart.  Enough torque was applied
to almost strip the derailleur off its bolt, and bend the protrusion of the
frame where it attaches so far back it blocks the rear gears.  A truly
incredible mess.

In short, recommendations for a *good* bicycle repair place in Toronto are
being sought.
