Workshop Manuals

gerrybubble

Hi All,
Any really good workshop manuals/repair books etc, that you can recommend. Mainly to cover road/race machines, although don't mind if they cover everything else!
Not just stuff for beginners but more heavy stuff, ie removal of headset / cranks /cassettes etc etc.

I've got a copy of Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance and think it's excellent.

I've just bought 2 manuals, one was recommended by some of the guys and gals on the forum; "Cycle Maintenance" by Richard Hallett published by hamlyn.. I found it wasn't detailed enough and didn't illustrate the jobs properly SO I've just bought the one recommended by my LBS which was the <b>Haynes manual</b>! Far better; covers more jobs, better lay-out, far easier to follow etc etc.
I suggest you take a look at that well known online store (named after a long S American River) take a look at the users reviews, it's a good way of checking out folks' experience of things as opposed to the official publisher's line!
If you get a chance the best thing is to find a shop that sells several and have a flick through... but I'd recommend the Haynes!

Maybe Steve but have you tried fixing your bike and holding your laptop at the same time?
