5.0 out of 5 stars You can hang around a bike shop, watching techs, or..., February 18, 2001
By Thomas Hundt (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You can learn a lot watching bike mechanics "operate". You can learn what tools to use, and how to apply them, and what pieces fall out when you take something apart. But who has time to hang around a bike shop? Wouldn't it be nice to have a book that shows you what to expect, and how to deal with it? This is it, in Technicolor glory.

Every page of this book has clear color photos showing exactly what to do. The book is broken down by chapters for the various mechanical systems of the bicycle. Each chapter goes through the various technologies in use. (Example: five kinds of brakes.) Each one is ripped apart and put back together with you. Each chapter has a section on what tools you will need (and recommendations on saving money).

Haynes is famous for automobile and motorcycle repair books, and this is even better than those: All photos are in color, the steps are broken down and illustrated clearly, with the use of tools shown explicitly. (This is not always the case with the automotive books, which assume a certain proficiency with mechanic's tools.) Very nicely done. I hope they update it periodically as bicycle technology evolves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Haynes Repair Manual - Reality Check, March 24, 2000
By A Customer
This informative manual is geared towards early 90's bike technology and quite frankly misses the majority of today's advanced components. However, the publication is well written, easy to understand, and properly illistrated. I would recommend this Haynes Repair Manual for beginner bike mechanics working with yesterday's technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and Easy to Follow, September 26, 2002
By John Vickery (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great instructional book for bicycle maintenance. It is written so that a novice in bicycle repair can understand the procedures. There is a chapter on how to disassemble and repair each aspect of your bicycle in detailed form. The book covers all different types of components on both road and mountain bikes. The instructions are easy to follow. The pictures are clear, and one can easily see what the authors are talking about. As a necessity, specialized bicycle tools are required to do many of the more complex manipulations. Each section has a troubleshooting guide, and chapter three is nothing but a troubleshooting guide. This book makes a great reference manual and will enhance one's basic knowledge of bicycle mechanics.
