5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, straightforward and well illustrated., 26 Oct 2007

By	S. A. Fox (South East England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having looked at a number of cycle repair manuals I liked this one the most. The layout of the book is clear and easy to follow. Instructions are very clearly explained and excellently illustrated with photographs and diagrams. It covers in plenty of detail everything I ever want to know about cycle repair and maintenance and is far easier to understand and work from than some other manuals e.g. the Haynes cycle manual.

2.0 out of 5 stars A frustrating book, 4 Feb 2009

By	M. Glen "kick the hooka" (North East England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The basic content of this book is fine with a good level of detail. However, unless you're a complete novice, or just wish to get on with repairs, it is frustrating.

Too much valuable space is taken up by ancilliary infomation. For example pages 20 to 23 are virtualy full of text explaining all about screw-thread connections. But then on page 54 we're twice told to leave certain jobs to a specialist because special tools are needed - I would like to know about this!

I don't like the layout; information and photos look crammed in. If it was less wordy, the presentation and layout could be much improved. Each page is in newspaper style columns (three columns). The text has just been allowed to flow from one column to the next and from one page to the next without thought. I find this makes it difficult to follow.

Nevertheless, it is clear the author has an excellent level of knowledge on the subject. And apart from my gripes above, full explanations for all manner of tasks are presented. And for us Brits, a plus - both U.S. and British terms (i.e. wrench/spanner etc.) are used where necessary.
