Recommended Posts

Hi, I am looking for a decent bike repair/maintanance book. I saw these three online, any of you guys have one of these or know of something else?

1 - park tool big blue book of bicycle repair 2nd edition

2 - Zinn & the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance

3 - The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance & Repair: For Road & Mountain Bikes

 

Thanks!

I have the bicycling book written by Todd Downs. With that book and youtube you will be able to do any repairs. Nice thing is that the book is up to date with the latest technology and parts. My wife says its the only book I ever read.

Download this. It's insanely detailed but handles just about everything you could ever imagine. Then as said above, check your component specific instructions when installing new stuff.
