Bike repair & maintenance for beginners: Learn the basics of bike repair at home by Chris Amstrong is a very basic book covering common maintenance issues. Part 1 of the book covers parts of the bike, as well as, tools of the trade. Part 2 cover bike repair and maintenance. The material covered is definitely geared to those who have little to no bike experience as the information is very rudimentary. Part 2 of the book would greatly be enhanced with the use of photographs.Some of the information covered in this book includes:+ Lubricating your bike+ Winterizing+ Tire pressure+ Installing new pedals+ Removing bike wheels+ Tuning hubs+ Replacing worn brake pads+ Changing a bike seatOverall Assessment:Bike repair & maintenance for beginners: Learn the basics of bike repair at home by Chris Amstrong is only recommended for those who know literally nothing about bike repair. If you already have some experience working on bikes you will not benefit from this book.
