Customer comments on this selection.
 Great Book
I bought this book for my husband who is a mountain biking nutter. He just loves it, can't get his head out of it. We would definately recommend this book to anyone who is interested in repairing/maintaining your mountain bike.
 Great book for MTB's!
The Good
- This is a great book for mountain bikes. Since mountain bikes have a lot of "specialised parts" that road bikes don't have, e.g. suspension, disc brakes, v brakes, etc., this book is much better than books that cover all bikes in general. They just don't have sufficient detail in explaining MTB parts.
- This may be a bit subjective. Illustrations in the book are drawings instead of actual pictures. Drawings seem to give me pretty decent understanding on what the author describes. I have used a book with actual pictures but they sometimes are unable to show all the details that a drawing sometimes can.
The Bad? ... or what should be better?
- I would have preferred more pictures to describe a particular task. Reading a whole lot of detail can sometimes be difficult.
- Sections can be categorised in a more 'reading friendly' format. The previous book I had (sorry can't remember the author) sections it very nicely and makes it very quick to find items that you like to fix.
The good plus the bad, I rate this book 4 stars.
what every old biker needs
With all the advances in Bicycles over the years I needed this book and all the information inside. It is very easy to understand and provides the useful information I needed.
Excelent content
Excellent book full of information about MTB parts including differences from one brand to another. Full of drawings that helps understand how things should be done.
The Bible of Mountain Bike Maintenance
This book was recommended by a friend of mine to facilitate my Padawan ways of bike maintenance. I'm very impressed, and the illustrations are excellent. Everything is broken down into the most basic steps when making a repair/modification. It's so much easier to maintain and repair your own bike, than to have your LBS do it. Don't be a tool, buy the book.
