Very well written bike maintenance guide.
Easy to read. Easy to find and follow maintenance topics.
I ordered a second and gave to a neighbor bike enthusiast.

Livro excelente. O autor passa a informação de forma muito prática e precisa. Não é apenas um método, é um aprofundamento total no assunto.

This book has an incredible amount of info! I had been using youtube to learn how to fix my bikes, but this book is an incredible companion with lots of info well organized and layer out. The illustrations are also wonderful and add another dimension for visual learners like myself.

El libro contiene información vasta e importante para llevar a cabo el mantenimiento de una bicicleta, por alguien que tiene nulo conocimiento de la materia. Desde que herramientas usar hasta como llevar a cabo los pasos para ejecutar el trabajo.

Order a new book, but it arrived damaged. :(
The package was ok, it's how it fit inside the package that deteriorated it. Corners turned. A bit sad.

All I can say is wow, this guy knows his stuff when it comes to bikes. Helped immensely with my overhaul on an old bike so I could get back into riding my bike. I literally tore my old bike down piece by piece, cleaned and repaired what I could and replaced many parts that had too much wear. This book has so much detail and great pictures that I didn’t have any stress at all during the rebuild. Used to be stressed working on a bike but this book answered any question I could have had without having to consult a bicycle mechanic. Without it I could have never successfully ordered the right parts the first try. Actually has more info than I could even need.

I bought this for my husband. He rides a hybrid but he can still use almost all of this book to help with maintenance and repairs on his bike. This is a very thick and heavy book with a lot of information in it. Think of going to the car parts store and seeing those big thick books that you have to thumb through to find you part number. It felt like that to me but with instructions and tips as well. Certainly not an easy read but very concise and it's organized and broken down and fairly easy to find what you need inside. He hasn't used it yet but he feels confident there will be helpful instructions and ideas inside when he needs it.

Update 7-2-2018: First, before reading my review of this book you need a little perspective on the review writer. I was a total novice who could not have pointed to a cog or a chaining on my very own bike. It is amazing to me that any book could lift me out of bicycle ignorance and place me solidly on a path to knowing my bike.
My goal of becoming knowledgeable about my 23-speed Tommaso road bike is too much for my old brain to grasp quickly so I’m finding this well organized, well-illustrated collection of road bike know-how to be a near-perfect resource for me.
So far, after a quick scan of this impressive paperback, I have found two gold nuggets. One is the section called PRERIDE INSPECTION in the chapter named BASIC STUFF (Ch. 2) in which 16 steps are provided for making sure your road bike is road ready before heading out for that long trail ride. The second is the entire chapter 5, which is titled CABLE-ACTUATED SHIFTING SYSTEMS. Knowing how to adjust the shifting system for optimal performance is almost as critical to me as braking but far more mysterious.
After having studied just these two sections of the book, it is clear to me this...
