bike maint. procedures online?

[geardad]

I haven't yet begun googling for this myself, but wondered if folks here can recommend sites which offer:

bike repair/maint/cleaning procedures, complete with tips, pitfalls, maybe diagrams and photos of key steps?

I've encountered things like this for computer stuff, like, how to install ram in a notebook, so I'd surmise for bikes, there'd be counterparts, too.

I can mostly fly blind in the maint. department; I always get things cleaned and put back together in proper working order, but it's always nice to have the advice and insight of one who knows more.

thank you!
