Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Brilliant! | Customer Rating: | This book is perfect for beginner to advanced users. It is perfect for on the trail/workshop repairs, and has instilled a real interest in my bike and how it works.
If you want to save some mechanics fees, get this book, it uses such an easy to understand format which is so hard to find on any technical manual. | Very Useful, for basics and beyond. | Customer Rating: | Yes I liked this book very much. Its my first book on bike maintenance, so I am a complete novice.
But I find it clear and concise. It translates the bike langauage to something I can understand.
I dont claim to understand all in this book, and there are certainly many repairs etc explained that I could not do, due to inexperience, or lack of tools. But at least I understand what they are trying to achieve.
I am now ok at most of the rescue repairs, puncture, new inner tube, broken chain, even adjusting the gears.
I also found the regular checks very informative. Before I just checked my tyre pressure, now I check other things such as brakes and lubricants, and I always clean the bike now after use.
The book itself is small and has a plastic cover to keep it dry if you need to carry it with you.
Its excatly what I wanted, something to explain the basics, and something for me to learn more in the future when I get more acclimatised to cycling. |
