Summary: The Haynes Bike Repair Manual
Review: I have a 1999 mountain bike that I love and want to maintain. This book is perfect! All of the problems that i've encountered have been addressed in the book, even though there's little information about "Y" frame suspensions. Each chapter on repair has a quick reference diagnosis chart. Before buying, I compared this book to the other top ranked repair books at the store, and this one was much easier to understand and use because of the clear way it's written and illustrated. If you don't already know much about bike repair, but love your bike, this book is for you!

Summary: Finally, an up-to-date maintenance bicycle book.
Review: This bicycle maintenance book is one of the best book there is out there as for quality of pictures, angle of pictures, technics, hints, trick of the trade, etc. The book covers most bikes. It contains coloured pictures, notes and tips on almost every page and is very well explained. Most tools showed in the book can be bought at your local bike shop or at any Mountain Equipment Coop (near you or online at www.mec.ca) I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn more about bike maintenance. You won't regret your purchase. Signed: a bike mechanic

Summary: Haynes Repair Manual - Reality Check
Review: This informative manual is geared towards early 90's bike technology and quite frankly misses the majority of today's advanced components. However, the publication is well written, easy to understand, and properly illistrated. I would recommend this Haynes Repair Manual for beginner bike mechanics working with yesterday's technology.

Summary: Detailed and Easy to Follow
Review: This is a great instructional book for bicycle maintenance. It is written so that a novice in bicycle repair can understand the procedures. There is a chapter on how to disassemble and repair each aspect of your bicycle in detailed form. The book covers all different types of components on both road and mountain bikes. The instructions are easy to follow. The pictures are clear, and one can easily see what the authors are talking about. As a necessity, specialized bicycle tools are required to do many of the more complex manipulations. Each section has a troubleshooting guide, and chapter three is nothing but a troubleshooting guide. This book makes a great reference manual and will enhance one's basic knowledge of bicycle mechanics.

Summary: You can hang around a bike shop, watching techs, or...
Review: You can learn a lot watching bike mechanics "operate". You can learn what tools to use, and how to apply them, and what pieces fall out when you take something apart. But who has time to hang around a bike shop? Wouldn't it be nice to have a book that shows you what to expect, and how to deal with it? This is it, in Technicolor glory. Every page of this book has clear color photos showing exactly what to do. The book is broken down by chapters for the various mechanical systems of the bicycle. Each chapter goes through the various technologies in use. (Example: five kinds of brakes.) Each one is ripped apart and put back together with you. Each chapter has a section on what tools you will need (and recommendations on saving money). Haynes is famous for automobile and motorcycle repair books, and this is even better than those: All photos are in color, the steps are broken down and illustrated clearly, with the use of tools shown explicitly. (This is not always the case with the automotive books, which assume a certain proficiency with mechanic's tools.) Very nicely done. I hope they update it periodically as bicycle technology evolves.
