"manney_" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance: The Step-by-step Guide to Routine Mountain Bike Maintenance and Repair (Paperback)

Small and compact guide to general mountain bike up keep.

Very well illustrated and good layout. Has a couple of useful sections for pre and post ride checks, routine wear checks, but unfortunatly, did not seem to give me enough information on how to strip and rebuild or even adjust for example a rear derailleur or bottom bracket. I was looking for a guide to "hold my hand" when tackling some of the bigger jobs and unfortunatley it did not give me the confidence to do them.

Overall a good read with some usfull tips, but not detailed enough to inspire confidence in a novice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Handy to have but not comprehensive enough, 6 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance: The Easy-to-follow Guide to Routine Maintenance and Repair (Paperback)

This is a well thought out book, and I bought it because of the review. However, I found it a bit basic, and nowhere near as informative as The Bike Book. Nicely put together, but needs more diagrams and explanations of terminology

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor value for money
First impressions are misleading. Instructions are unclear, eg 'Fitting a Shimano V-brake' tells you that the brakes come with excellent fitting instructions. Read more
