3.0 out of 5 stars
Buy the 2.0 DVD or a book instead., April 9, 2007
"This program covers bottom bracket, crankset, cables, tires, chain,
derailleurs and much more."
No, it doesn't. It also covers "wheels," which don't mean "much more"
in the way that wheels _and_ headset do.

The first two minutes are an FBI warning, a lame intro, and a plug for
version 2.0 of the video which is available on videobikerepair dot com and was released in September of 2005,
apparently.
So why does Unbox (which launched almost a year later) still hawking
this version 1.0?
And why are the last 11 minutes nothing but a black screen? Thanks for
filing up my hard drive with a whole lot of nothing. There aren't even
end credits, it just ends.
On the plus side, the picture and sound quality are good, and Jeff's
explanations are clear. I have no real complaints about the content
that's actually in this movie.
But you should just pony up a few more dollars and buy
Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance. Or the 2.0 DVD (which doesn't seem to be on Amazon) directly from VideoBikeRepair.
I would definitely avoid renting this via Unbox, but purchasing it
isn't a terrible idea. Just keep in mind you could do better for only
$7 more.
