1.0 out of 5 stars NOT a bike book for EVERYBODY, 16 Feb 2004

By	Ms M R Simmonds (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I really hoped that this book would be of great help, conisdering all the great reviews. However, though I am very good at doing fiddly mechanical stuff usually, I can only follow instructions. Sadly, this book had plenty of information, but as far as diagrams go, it is incomplete, and repeatedly instructs you to carry out various procedures without labelling all the parts mentioned. Furthermore, it often asks you to refer to diagrams many pages on in the book from the written instructions - really not helpful when your hands are full trying to grip various parts of a bike and tools. I now give up and will put my bike in for service in a rip-off bike shop. Overall, very unclear, and essentially useless. Possible ok if you have someone to show you how to do everything. NOT a bike book for EVERYBODY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed, 21 May 2003

By	James L - See all my reviews

I have limited mechanical experience and, faced with a family of 5 bikes, I wanted a book to help me to the maintenance. As soon as I took received this book, Iit helped me to solve an annoying problem that had been causing frustration, and has givenb me confidence to overhaul some slipping derailers.

Well worth the price ,for its practicality and relavence.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB!, 10 Aug 1998

By A Customer

This is the best bicycle repair manual on the market. I have used an older version of this book many times and it has never let me down. Highly recommended for all bicycle enthusiasts.
