I like the park videos on the internet, just can't always hear or keep up. With this book and the videos I have no problem with the repairs I want to do.

I bought this for a kid who hates reading but loves tinkering with his Mountain Bike. Amazing how that kid now loves to read - about bike maintenance and repair ! His school teacher is still whining that he can't read well but you'd never believe that after seeing the kid speed read a bike book !
His reading/comprehension must be good because the bike works perfectly and he hasn't had to pay the bike shop for work since !

I initially bought the Dummies Guide to bicycle repair, but found that when I actually got to trying to set up and adjust the brake calipers on my Dad's old Moulton bike, that the procedures and pictures were rather lacking. I found some videos on Park Tools youtube channel and used those to do the job quite easily. I came across their video of the Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair and bought that afterward and then found some tips on brake set up that would have saved me even more time compared to their videos which were also good. The content in this book is clear, logical and well presented. The illustrations are also clear and show what you need to see clearly. Coupled with the youtube content you can really attack these jobs with confidence. There is a lifetimes worth of experience from the author being communicated clearly to the reader. It is excellent value for money.

This book is great; wonderfully detailed in most areas, and gives a good overview of different configurations and best practices on how to best maintain, and install older, and newer bikes.
It is worth noting, if you are BUILDING a bike, this is still a beneficial resource, but as it is a repair manual, it is primarily based around maintaining and replacing parts and pieces that are already installed. There is limited information about installing components as new, or, for example, how to route cabling in an efficient manner.
Yes, there are youtube videos that Calvin has from Park tool that go into greater detail. Are they worth watching? Yes. Do they serve as a good replacement for having a book open, in front of you, while both your hands are busy affixing something to the bike? No. This book is something you can buy once, and always have on hand. Great resource, especially for repair and maintenance.

I have been repairing the “families” bikes for over 40 years - fold ups to tandems - but our new bikes have disc brakes, suspension systems etc way outside my self taught experience. So a proper bike repair manual was urgently needed; this book is a revelation. So if you are new to bike repairs or an experienced mechanic this is THE book - a wealth of comprehensive information- something for every level of bike mechanic. I wish I had bought it years ago.
