Park Tool Repair Manual

[Sepia]

The Park Tool Bike Repair/Maint manual is available.

My question is, Does it cover most if not all every day service

jobs which can do at home? Has anybody read this yet and can it be advised?

Seems cheaper than lbs at R160 a pop.

Thanks

Tis known as the Big Blue Book, do not have it (yet) but it always pops up as a must have.

I have a copy. Recommended.

Covers just about any job on a bike.

Very good publication and covers most of the fundamentals. If you need something more thorough i.e. tolerances, clearances, manufacturer specific then look at the Barnett manual.

Haynes also have a good one....

yup! the Park Tools BBBBR (Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair) is very useful. I've got the 2nd Edition (which I think is still the latest).

 

The Park Tools website also has everything that's in the book for those who are wanting to do something specific and can't warrant purchasing a whole book for 1 job (although it won't be a waste of money).

 

Here's what the 2nd Ed looks like:

Barnett is good, downloadeable from the internet and verrry concise. It is also updated as new technology energes. I suppose there should be a new epsode on the "new technology" of twenty naai-ners.

... you mean like the preferred procedure to dispose of them correctly?

I am also looking for this book, where can I get good price for it?

I have this book. It is awesome.

[David Marshall]

Solomon's have it in stock. I think it goes for around R200 plus. Well worth it.

I picked one up from Linden Cycles for R230. On CRC they're R216, so it's worth buying locally.

I got from buycycle.co.za for R189.00 but was busy buying some Park Tools too.

I use it too. Sometimes it is too comprehensive and you have to wade through pages of fringe and legacy technology to find what is applicable.

 

I find youtube videos to be more useful.
