Must-have title for any cyclist March 8, 2010
Joe Brennan (Ohio, USA)
I bought this book after my bike mechanic recommended it. It has clear instructions, and photos to show you how to do many kinds of repairs to your bike. I have other bike maintenance/repair books and like this one the best.

I am an avid bicyclist and bike mechanic.
Leave it to Park to create an excellent bike repair manual.
For the most part, it is up to date.
The pictures and illustrations are excellent. Most of the
writing is easy to understand. It has some good technical
references as well. Buy this before your next repair!
 Pretty good book on bicycle repair November 26, 2009

I've been repairing my own bicycles for years, but I recently upgraded my bike. The new bike came with the latest brakes chain, sprocket, derailers and well I figured I should upgrade my knowledge of repairing to match. To that effect, this book is great. As in for a person who is handy with tools, knows something about bicycle repair already, this book is just what you need. It's concise, clear photos, and diagrams will get your bike in top shape. However, if you have never done any repair work, I wouldn't start with this book. It is good that with the photos and instructions you can tell pretty well what is the level of skill needed to do the repair, but if this had been my first book it would have been not quite enough information. I rate it akin to those cookbooks which do tell you everything you need to know but do it in a language that experienced chefs understand, and thus beginners are lost.
For a beginner I'd recommend Anybody's Bike Book: A Comprehensive Manual of Bike Repairs and the Park Blue book. Or Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manual and this book.
For a well versed bicycle mechanic go for it. It's as good as Park Tools are, which is excellent.
Detailed, helpful repair book November 16, 2009

I received this book during a Park Tools introduction to bicycle maintenance class at my local REI. I have found it to be quite the useful tool when trying to determine how to go about fixing my bike or performing maintenance tasks. The color pictures are detailed enough to be helpful, and the explanation of each picture also helps you figure out what you are looking at. This book definitely sets itself apart from the other bike maintenance books available with its detailed level of instruction, the coverage afforded to each of the different types of derailleurs, brakes, shift levers etc., as well as the excellent pictures. The only negative, and obviously it is not too negative as I gave the book 5 stars, is that since the book is from Park Tools it will of course only suggest using the Park version of a tool or stand even if something cheaper or better may exist. This is definitely something I would recommend to anyone setting up their home workshop or who needs some detailed instructions on bicycle maintenance from the most basic of flat repairs to rebuilding the headset.
