Ask HN: How does one archive websites like this without being a d-ck? I want to save this for offline use, but I think recursive wget is a bit poor manners, is there established way one should approach it, get it from archive somehow?

Must admit, though, this was pre-YouTube. While I do admire written works like this, and I still treasure some of my cookery books, there's nothing like watching someone do these things. Especially things involving subtle skills that nobody would think to write down, like adjusting derailleur gears. Learning by copying is the original and best way for many things.

truly awesome how many ways you can go deep into something. Would have never thought to spend so much time on derailleurs

The Internet Archive probably has it already.

Came to say the same, I meet him once in his shop, what a great person he was. His wife also has a great amount of bicycle knowledge from what I heard.
And the shop itself closed in 2021 after being open for nearly 70 years. I purchased my Brompton there.
Unfortunately, I have seen a few family owned shops taken over by a "large" company, namely Trek. Others have just closed. I only know of one or 2 family owned shop left these days.
