Basics of Bike repair
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a book small enough to fit in a cycling jersey pocket. It has color pictures, nearly at least one on each page. It has 12 chapters that cover preventive maintenance, wheels, gearings, drivetrains, brakes, steering, saddles, suspension and accesories. It covers a lot of subjects in only 96 pages, so the information is basic. This means that if you need to repair something a little unusual, you won't find it here. It doesn't have many diagrams, which I think are necesary for this kind of manuals, and many bike parts are mentioned supposing the reader knows what they are. On the other hand, the format helps to carry it on a trip, and the author recomends to do preventive maintenance rather than emergency repairs. The information, while basic, is very useful, is easy to find and will get you out of trouble. The procedures for each adjustment or repair are given in three parts: an introduction about why and when to do the repair, a list of tools needed, and a step by step guide.My advice is to buy it, and if you want to do all the mechanic work on your bike (maybe other bikes too), think about buying a larger manual too.
