Hog_ Posted October 31, 2007 Share I have also got the Zinn Art of MTB maintenance which is also quite good. I just ordered it from take2.co.za - R190-something incl shipping. The combination of online shopping, impulse buying, and credit card is going to bankrupt me one of these days..... now where did I see that Superlight...

Between this and my handbook i can pretty much do most things without spending $$$ on course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaskar Posted October 31, 2007 Share Do your self a favour and get a copy of "The Barnett's Manual of Bicycle Repair". Its like 680 pages covering everything to do with bike repair. I think updates are avaialble every few months coveing the latest components all broken down to show how to repair them your self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You so right !!!! Helps when he goes to school 4 hours in the morning and works the rest of the day in Justin's workshop. He is busy learning to build wheels, can only be beneficial (to me that is!).

dirtrider Posted October 31, 2007 Share You also going to need your friends bikes so you can test on them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted October 31, 2007 Share Also get the right tools for above BB. A "third hand tool" for brakes and a cable tensioner can be invaluable. Also get a proper cable cutter or use the simple old angle grinder judiciuosly for clean cuts. Use a sharpened spoke to open up the hole before inserting the new cable. I also heard, but never tried it, that if you heat up the section of cable you want to cut with a lighter you can cut that section with normal sidecutters. In a recent bike mag they had the definitive method for setting derraileurs. Find it and study it. It makes life so much more easier!!!!!! Barnetts is a good book. I have a copy that I downloaded in Pdf format when it still was "freeware" I do not have the updates however and it does not cover the "new" 10 speed Shimano drivetrains. It does however have info on the 10 speed kempekkeknoglia thingies (cannot be describved as real drivetrains as they are unrelyable)!!!!!! teee heeee !!!!!

Turboman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Also you need to have a YELLOW saddle on an OLD Seat Post.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainDura Posted October 31, 2007 Share First and foremost you are going to have to get some proper handcleaner and a nailbrush to clean off the grit and grime and get those nails shiny white again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted October 31, 2007 Share First and foremost you are going to have to get some proper handcleaner and a nailbrush to clean off the grit and grime and get those nails shiny white again. .................. or buy a box full of cheap coloured latex gloves and never dirty your hands again. Keep some in your saddlebag when your kempekkernoglia drivetrain throws your chain. Greasemarks on the white new fancy kit that is the rage does not work!!!!!!
