The complete bike owner's manual

Bikes can take you far and wide, and to get the best out of every ride, you need to keep your bike in the best possible condition. Bikes do not run on your muscles alone; the interplay of pedals, chain, wheels, steering, and gear and brake systems gives power and control to your bike. In this book, we show you how to install, adjust, and maintain each part of your bike. Whether you are a skilled mechanic or a beginner, learning how to fix and maintain your bike at home will save you time, energy, and money. It’s also great to know that you can be miles from home and fix a problem in the unlikely event of mechanical failure. This book uses high-quality CGI illustrations to detail every component of your bike. With no hands in the way to obscure detail and vivid imagery, the step-by-step instructions offer unprecedented clarity and get you close to every part of your bike.
