Still unparalleled for its friendly tone, easy-to-follow instructions, and fun funky illustrations. A Ten Speed Classic!
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Tom Cuthbertson was Ten Speed Press's first author, and his friendly bicycle repair manual not only inspired the name of our company, it made bicycle repair accessible for the casual and serious cyclist. As the technology of bicycles has evolved, so has his classic book.
This is the how-to-fix-it manual that launched Ten Speed Press nearly 20 years ago ( LJ 12/15/71). Aimed at riders who want to accomplish their own bicycle repairs rather than relying on a bikeshop, it remains quite good and fairly comprehensive. The new edition covers mountain bikes and index shifting as well as more traditional features and bikes. The main drawback is the illustrations: while clear, they aren't as good as photos. Libraries with Clarence W. Coles and Harold T. Glenn's Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manual ( LJ 7/73) and/or Bicycling Magazine's Complete Guide to Bicycle Maintenance and Repair ( LJ 5/1/86) might skip this, but the price makes it a real bargain.
