"This is a great book for anyone wanting to repair and maintain their own bike. It covers just about everything from removing wheels and repairing punctures to fitting cassettes and simple wheel truing. Each repair is set out very well with large photos and clear instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone inspiring to learn bicycle mechanics."

"When I arrived at my local store the book was waiting for me .Helpful info,the only complain was one of the pages was ripped didn,t notice till it was already covered in oil."
"With all tools, sometimes its an informative how to book which seems to get left off the list. Well this is a must for your tool box if you are an enthusiastic cyclist who is willing to do a fair bit of maintenance on their own bike. Lists jobs in a well concise manner with ability ratings on how easy or hard a job is and what tools are required. A good book on bikes from the people who bring you the Car Maintenance guides."

Pros: covers all areas of a bike, very useful tips
"This book is very useful when it comes to fixing a bike. It has loads of chapters for all different parts of a bike. There's also loads of pictures to show difficult areas to explain."
