The Haynes Bicycle Book ~ Repair, Maintenance & Service Manual — Revised & Updated 2nd Edition
  Everything you need to know to help you enjoy and maintain your bicycle! Written by Bob Henderson.
This book was written following the same methods used for other Haynes repair manuals, based on a complete teardown of the bikes, illustrated with hundreds of "hands-on" photographs of repair and maintenance procedures, and accompanied by step-by-step instructions.
Printed in full color throughout. Covers maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of most bicycles, plus information on accessories and roadside repairs.
