The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to Bike Maintenance and Repair provides recreational cyclists with the "do-it-yourself" means to maintain and service their own bikes without having to pay someone else to do the dirty work. Rather than spanning the entire field of bicycling, this book focuses on those things readers need to know in order to keep their bikes safe and trouble-free-- including, bike basics, workings, maintenance before and after riding, tools and accessories and common repairs.
