On my own and find book helpful in caring for my prize possession bike.
In the old days, wire downtube shifters, one could completely recondition a bike in an hour or so. Today that is not the case. For us really old cyclists, this manual is the Bible, unless you want to spend lots of money at your LBS.
Newest Edition. Better priced than a used one from the Book Store here.
Delivered to the East Side!!
Perfect!! )
There were a lot of repairs I made in my youth that, while functional, did not contribute to the efficiency of the bicycle. What I would have given for a Big Blue Book back then. These days there are even more options and installing the wrong part, or the right part incorrectly, can be disastrous either physically andor financially. Save yourself some grief and buy this book.
It's nice not to have to remember torgue setting or steps. Tag the pages once!
