I really wish I'd bought something else. Handy size but I haven't found it helpful at all.

Bicycle repair manualReview date: 2010-04-22 Rating: 8 out of 10This book is good for basic repairs but tells you to go to expert for more complicated repairs - we hoped it would cover these. (but title does say simple repairs so it does what it says)An ideal sizeReview date: 2009-10-09 Rating: 10 out of 10An excellent book, both clear and informative and just the right size to take on those cycling trips.A must for every bike enthusiastReview date: 2009-08-08 Rating: 10 out of 10It is exactly as the title saysSimple Bicycle Repair: Fixing Your Bike Made EasyWell written, a handy format, and short enough to encourage experimentation.Review date: 2009-07-10 Rating: 8 out of 10This is a good, hand-holding guide which will encourage me to do more hands-on work on my bikes. The sections on wheel truing alone are well worth reading.
The author has taken trouble to write in a way which is helpful for non-Usonian mechanics too -- he clearly has wide experience with European bikes and parts.
I'd have liked more exploded diagrams of complex parts, but I appreciate the cost of good-quality technical illustration is too high for this price range.
Minor irritation: The author constantly refers to the rear-wheel's sprockets as "cogs", which is mechanically inaccurate. Cogs mesh with other cogs; sprockets work with a chain.
