Bike maintenance books

Did a quick search but could not find something on theHub.  I need a good book on bike maintenance (Road and Mountain Bike).

 

Took the daughters bike in for a service here in Germany and lets just say that a service in SA was considerably  cheaper than here in Germany. Now we have expanded rapidly to six bikes that needs to be maintained and  serviced and at 70 Eur a pop it will be well to my benefit to start doing my own maintenance. 

 

I know Park tool has a book.  Are there any other suggestions?  I knew there was another book but cannot remember the name.  It had two editions, one for Road bike and the other for Mountain bike maintenance.

Who is Mike and why do you need to maintain him?

 

The Park Tool Big Blue Book and Zinn and the art of road / MTB maintenance are the ones you're after assuming the title was a typo...

Parktool FTW

 

the other book you thinking of is the bicycling mag book http://fitshop.co.za/product/bicycling-essential-road-bike-maintenance-handbook/

http://fitshop.co.za/product/complete-bicycling-maintenance-and-repair/ 

 

 

 

depending on what you want to do, you don't need a book.

 

A tablet with an interwebs connection is all you need when you are busy and need to check something

some of the sources I use
