The bicycle fitting
The mechanic's measurements were precise: he checked the saddle height again after tightening the clamp. His explanation was accessible, using my own bicycle to show what would change rather than listing technical terms. I had arrived expecting to be told that everything was wrong. Instead, we adjusted one setting and tried a short ride. The improvement was small but noticeable, which made the advice easier to trust than a promise of complete transformation.
From the passage, select two words or phrases that describe the quality of the mechanic's work and explanation.
