Book Reviews of The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance and Repair: For Road and Mountain Bikes(Expanded and Revised 5th Edition)

Book Review: Comprehensive and Insdispensible for the Home Mechanic
Summary: 5 Stars

I really couldn't be happier with this book. I knew basically nothing about bicycle repair when I bought it, and I have since successfully disassembled a front derailleur and properly changed a worn out cassette, among other things. This book will tell you what you need to know - everything from the most basic, routine procedures to the most involved repairs. Extremely helpful!
