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

Book Review: Good repair manual
Summary: 4 Stars

Very good book, I have been using it for about a year on two bikes, Is very helpful. I'm sure it will get bad reviews from the "Big Bikers" because they take the time to explain why you should do thing. However, it is just right for everyone else. If this book bores you then you already know how to work on bikes and don't need the book anyway.
