Book Reviews of The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance and Repair: For Road and Mountain Bikes(Expanded and Revised 5th Edition)
Book Review: Even more detailed than I thought it would be. Very Thorough
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been considering building my own bike using parts from various manufacturers that I thought would best suit me and what I wanted to create. I bought this book to get info on what was available in today's market. Like a lot of people I haven't been an active rider for many years. I knew about hydraulic brakes on new bikes and active suspensions, but had never been on a bicycle that had them. This book has examples of how to repair many different types of parts from many manufacturers. For those of us that haven't kept up with the advancements in the bike world this book is as good as a single volume could be. Even if you have been a rider for many years I'm sure you'll learn some stuff from reading it. Highly recommended.
