Hi All,
So, I love riding my bike and I want to keep it in great shape. I want to learn how to maintain my bicycle, interact with the parts of the bike...learn how to repair, adjust, clean, etc. The problem is I don't have a clue. I always take my bike to my LBS - which of course is not a bad thing, but I would like to learn how to do things myself.
I tried looking through Howard Zinn's book on bike maintenance - but I found it confusing & sparse in terms of pictures, illustrations.
I was wondering if you had opinions on any bike maintenance resources.
I have been loking for a bike maintenance video or DVD but I cannot find any.
What do you think of the folloiwng books:
Complete Bike Maintenance by Fred Milson
and
Bike Repair Manual by Chris Sidwells
If you can suggest any other books, vidoes, etc. please let me know.
It would be great to take a bike maintenance class, but I can't find and LBS or other venues offering it.
