3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad... if you own a mountain bike, 15 May 2002
By Vince Cabrera (Milan, Italy) - See all my reviews
I'm somewhat disappointed by this book as it spends WAY too much time discussing mountain bikes.

I own a Bianchi city bike (a hybrid, but hardly from an unknown brand) and it's hard to find pictures of ANYTHING that looks like my bicycle. Maybe the pictures just aren't clear enough or maybe I'm just obtuse but I DO find this book rather confusing.

There's a LOT of space (pages and pages, actually) devoted to giving free and shameless plugs to ANYTHING made by Avenir. I find that tacky. A second line of attack seems to be to talk you into spending lots and lots and LOTS of money on weird and wonderful tools. A lot of space is wasted on pictures of tools, but with very little space devoted to how to USE the blessed things.

Finally, as far as the "housewife from Bolton"'s review for this book goes, you can find the exact same review (verbatim!) on the page for Fred Milson's "The Bike Book". I can only presume it was placed here by some zealous sales type.

Maybe if I owned a mountain bike I'd get more out of this book, as it is it's been a waste of money. Ask the guys at the shop to show you how they fix things.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction but for practical advice forget it, 2 Jul 2004
By G. Thulbourn (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Haynes Bicycle Book: The Haynes Repair Manual for Maintaining and Repairing Your Bike (Haynes Automotive Repair Manual Series) (Paperback)
If you've never owned a bike before then this is a good book from which to get a basic knowledge, what the various bits are called and what they do etc.
However, the servicing information it contains lacks any practical advice and if you follow it you'll get nowhere in my experience. They show nice photos of a clean brand new bike (with parts removed for clarity) which just doesn't map across to the real world. And what happens when you follow their instructions but it still doesn't work: well, you're left with a bike in a worse condition then when you started. If you want hands on, real world, practical advice on how to maintain your bike you are better searching the web where you will find excellent articles with more explanation and more 'if that doesn't work, then do this' kind of advice.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Manual for Enthusiastic Bikers, 26 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Haynes Bicycle Book: The Haynes Repair Manual for Maintaining and Repairing Your Bike (Haynes Automotive Repair Manual Series) (Paperback)
This is an excellent and well-illustrated guide to DIY bike maintenance. It describes all that a non-pro will need to know ... as well as most of what a pro ought to know. Pity it has not been updated ... it is now starting to get out-dated, but nevertheless strongly recommended. Very easy to follow instructions.

Four crowns not five only because it has been published almost five years ago.
