Great Book | Customer Rating: | | I bought this book for my husband who is a mountain biking nutter. He just loves it, can't get his head out of it. We would definately recommend this book to anyone who is interested in repairing/maintaining your mountain bike. | Great book for MTB's! | Customer Rating: | The Good - This is a great book for mountain bikes. Since mountain bikes have a lot of "specialised parts" that road bikes don't have, e.g. suspension, disc brakes, v brakes, etc., this book is much better than books that cover all bikes in general. They just don't have sufficient detail in explaining MTB parts.
- This may be a bit subjective. Illustrations in the book are drawings instead of actual pictures. Drawings seem to give me pretty decent understanding on what the author describes. I have used a book with actual pictures but they sometimes are unable to show all the details that a drawing sometimes can.
The Bad? ... or what should be better? - I would have preferred more pictures to describe a particular task. Reading a whole lot of detail can sometimes be difficult.
- Sections can be categorised in a more 'reading friendly' format. The previous book I had (sorry can't remember the author) sections it very nicely and makes it very quick to find items that you like to fix.
The good plus the bad, I rate this book 4 stars. | what every old biker needs | Customer Rating: | | With all the advances in Bicycles over the years I needed this book and all the information inside. It is very easy to understand and provides the useful information I needed. | Excelent content | Customer Rating: | | Excellent book full of information about MTB parts including differences from one brand to another. Full of drawings that helps understand how things should be done. | The Bible of Mountain Bike Maintenance | Customer Rating: | | This book was recommended by a friend of mine to facilitate my Padawan ways of bike maintenance. I'm very impressed, and the illustrations are excellent. Everything is broken down into the most basic steps when making a repair/modification. It's so much easier to maintain and repair your own bike, than to have your LBS do it. Don't be a tool, buy the book. |
