Bicycle Maintenance

The ability to maintain a bike is not difficult with the right guidance. This book is an essential resource for all cyclists willing to undertake the maintenance and repair of their own machine. Each part of the bike is taken in turn and looked at thoroughly in terms of function, service, overhaul, and replacement. Topics covered include component compatibility; fine tuning and ideas for the experienced mechanic; a section on the home workshop, tools, and techniques needed; and step-by-step instructions suitable for beginners. It is lavishly illustrated with specially commissioned photographs and diagrams.
