Hi im planning on buying my girlfriends brother a book for xmas on how to repair and do general maintenance on a road bike. I have just got back into mountain biking so have no idea about road biking or any good repair/maintenance books.
I was hoping for a few suggestions
Thanks a lot
I got a free dvd with some roadbike mag. shows you everything in nice simple steps. Better than any starter book imo. especially setting up mechs n stuff, just copy what they do on tv and pause/rewind etc.. Don't know if there is such a thing for sale?
ime the books are a bit unnesecary you can get decent tips on't web better to get him some decent tools, allen keys bb spanners etc. I've got the park tools bbok and don't rate it
the zinn book is pretty good,not a bad read either.
zinn and the art of roadbike maintenance,velopress.
The Haynes book is nice and clear with lots of photos.
I've got the Zinn book and Parks blue book. They are fine but perhaps not quite as engaging.
