Been a pleasure to own this one. Comprehensive. Glossary could be better. I find myself looking for something I knows in there but not listed in glossary. every cyclist ought have one imo.
Needed this review since Bicycles changed since I last used them May 28, 2010

This is a good book to read, but not as detailed as I would have wished. Maybe I am expecting more than can be included in a bicycle repair book... I have been unable to adjust a front Dérailleur on a new Bicycle... Could be the fault of the Dérailleur as installed on the inexpensive bike from a big box store, but trying to adjust its movement it is impossible to use the instructions on page 195-205...
I also had rear brake problems, not enough adjustment or clearance with any spring stiffness in the brakes at the rim... Using the book and looking at a lot more bikes, there seems to be a great variety in the cable length and spring rates... The book did provided me with the knowledge to adjust the rear braking, I had to add another spacer, and now have the ability to almost stop the bicycle applying only the rear brakes lever...
Overall the book as proved to be very educational and I would recommend this book to others... It has allowed me to make a inexpensive Big Box Store bicycle safe to ride, in my opinion the Store was negligent in assembling the Bike...

Outstanding detailed book on bike repair. Very easy to understand and comprehensive. I'm somewhat of a novice on bike repairs but this was easy to follow.
