Synopses & Reviews
From the world's best-selling bicycle writers comes a nuts-and-bolts guide to keeping a bike in peak condition. The authors of the best-selling bicycle books of all time have teamed up again to create Richards' Bicycle Repair Manual. Richard Ballantine and Richard Grant solve every repair task -- from simple roadside repairs to complete overhauls, from emergency situations to general upkeep -- in easy-to-follow photographic sequences enhanced by detailed text. Every type of bicycle is covered, including touring, racing, mountain, and hybrid. An especially valuable feature is the "problem chart" at the back of the book -- a troubleshooting guide that refers the reader back to the page explaining the particular repair. This is the only repair manual bikers will ever require!
