Customer Reviews

A good introduction to the basics

I have to object to the negative reviews posted here--this book is not meant to be a guide to state of the art equipment. And while it might have been useful to include diagnostics, the truth is if you familiarize yourself with the principles of bicycle mechanics and repair elucidated here you should have a good headstart on figuring out any problems which might arise. Copiously illustrated and easy-to-follow, this book is aimed at people (like me) who never thought to take bicycle repair into their own hands. My grease-stained copy will guide me for years to come--if it helps me keep my '91 Trek 830 running as smoothly as it does now I won't need to worry about the latest innovations.
