Summary: The Best Bicycle Repair Manual 2010-03-18
Comment: In the early 1970s, I taught myself bicycle repair. I went on from there to have a modest bicycle repair shop for 12 years. I wish that this book had been available then. It has complete easy to follow instructions for most types of repair and maintenance. Over the years I've read most of the bicycle repair manuals on the market. This is by far the best. My only criticism is that it doesn't cover repairs for the cheaper bikes (of which there are many out there). These bikes have one piece cranks, coaster brakes and nutted hubs. For these repairs, the best repair manual is still Anybody's Bike Book. It's out of print but available on used book sites such as Amazon and ABE.

Summary: Must-have title for any cyclist 2010-03-08
Comment: I bought this book after my bike mechanic recommended it. It has clear instructions, and photos to show you how to do many kinds of repairs to your bike. I have other bike maintenance/repair books and like this one the best.

Comment: I am an avid bicyclist and bike mechanic.
Leave it to Park to create an excellent bike repair manual.
For the most part, it is up to date.
The pictures and illustrations are excellent. Most of the
writing is easy to understand. It has some good technical
references as well. Buy this before your next repair!

Summary: Pretty good book on bicycle repair 2009-11-26
Comment: I've been repairing my own bicycles for years, but I recently upgraded my bike. The new bike came with the latest brakes chain, sprocket, derailers and well I figured I should upgrade my knowledge of repairing to match. To that effect, this book is great. As in for a person who is handy with tools, knows something about bicycle repair already, this book is just what you need. It's concise, clear photos, and diagrams will get your bike in top shape. However, if you have never done any repair work, I wouldn't start with this book. It is good that with the photos and instructions you can tell pretty well what is the level of skill needed to do the repair, but if this had been my first book it would have been not quite enough information. I rate it akin to those cookbooks which do tell you everything you need to know but do it in a language that experienced chefs understand, and thus beginners are lost.
For a beginner I'd recommend Anybody's Bike Book: A Comprehensive Manual of Bike Repairs and the Park Blue book. Or Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manual and this book.
For a well versed bicycle mechanic go for it. It's as good as Park Tools are, which is excellent.
