Customer Rating: 

I have always thought it would be so much easier to perform my own bicycle maintenance but never took the effort to look into a "how to" book. After years of taking bicycles to the shop for tune-ups and upgrades, and not having a shop nearby, I decided to investigate the idea of "self repair" a little more. This book is what I needed to get the ball rolling and as the title states, this is a complete guide for at home repairs and then some... This book has made mountain biking even more enjoyable for me!

Customer Rating: 

the book is a few steps above basic maintenance. it cover everything from the very simple basic things up to some complicated things. it tells you how some stuff is done, even things that your bike shop should do but it helsp to know what has to be doen so they dont rip you off. the knowledge is good and is pretty easy to follow as well.

This is a great book, very thorough, with great pictures. The only downside is that is doesn't cover older parts. I deal with a lot of bikes build pre 1980, so I occasionally come across something that this book no longer covers.

Customer Rating: 

Very good book, I have been using it for about a year on two bikes, Is very helpful. I'm sure it will get bad reviews from the "Big Bikers" because they take the time to explain why you should do thing. However, it is just right for everyone else. If this book bores you then you already know how to work on bikes and don't need the book anyway.
