the best and most comprehensive book I know of. It saves you lots of money by showing you how to do many smaller jobs yourself. Excellent book.

Très bon guide, complet.
Mis à jour en 2010 pour couvrir les changements majeurs de l'industrie, mais les photos datent (1990-2000 pour certaines) ce qui est dommage et donne un aspect guide dépassé.
Les standards changeant vite, ne vous attendez pas à y trouver tous les derniers en vogue.
Malgré tout un très bon guide dont on ne pourrait se passer pour tout ce qui concerne la maintenance générale.

The product(s) arrived on time, as described by Amazon & manufacturer, it was shipped without issue, arrived within prescribed estimates, the packaging was undamaged, and the product itself was unmolested and made with quality materials. Description, photograph, website presentation, and what arrived are the same-size, shape, color, and it matched my expectations.
A comprehensive book detailing all of the normal issues one might have with a bicycle and the language, diagrams or pictures etc., they're set up and explained in common vernacular. A novice user or more experienced repairman would benefit from this book and I recommend it to anyone wanting to cut their costs when it comes to bicycle repair...it's getting as outrageous as a car!

This book is GREAT!! My husband has recently gotten into refurbishing vintage bikes and/or taking various parts from this bike and that bike and making hybrids. He has found this book to be insanely helpful - there are pix and clear directions to follow. It turns out that I'd mistakenly bought two of these books - the exact same one - so my husband sent the extra copy to the guy whose been mentoring him on this bike hobby... this man has been doing bikes for YEARS and said that this a wonderful book and even HE picked up a few pointers and some information and instruction. I don't honestly do the "bike thing", but these two guys, novice and expert, both say this is a wonderful book.

CDP's Onceagain habit of purchasing:
The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance & Repair for Road & Mountain Bikes [Kindle Edition] by Todd Downs is the best bicycle maintenance book or manual I have found and purchased. I own several bicycles and want to do my own maintenance and if one does, this is in my view the book to own. I also own a Motorcycle and much of the information and knowledge based skills utilized in this book are also good for a thorough maintenance approach to the mechanical maintenancre of a motorcycle. From the basic introduction of the book to the tool recommendations you read at the first of the book, you know you are getting a book that avoids the fluff and gets right to solid information about bicycle maintenance. I love this book and recommend it to the person needing some guidance to working on their bikes and optimization of the setup of your ride.

RA!:
I've been a Cyclist (notice I didn't say biker) for more than 40 years. And there are many types nowadays. I am a rough rider. I also consider myself a decent Bike Wrench (mechanic) and can trouble shoot most problems. This being said, who can't learn more? Every enthusiast should have books on their favorite subjects, reference guides of some sort. Well, here it is! Whether you are an old pro or a newbee, this is the book you want. Read it cover to cover or just look through it when you need it. It will help you maintain that Iron Pony or Thorobred between your legs and when it's sick, you can bring it back to health. You can save some money by doing it yourself or maybe you just want an idea of what's wrong before you take it to the bike doc. Whatever your reason, you won't go wrong here. It's informative, has excellent pictures and illustrations and covers lots of info you should know. Todd has experience due to years of mastering what he does and shares his vast knowledge with you. From road to mountain bikes and those in between you're covered because the book is up to date. Thank You Todd!
