    If you don't want to buy a book then just use youtube.com and it has most stuff in plain and simple steps

    I also went on a course at the Edinburgh Bike Co-op. Cost £40 but you effectively get you bike serviced while you learn. I found it really useful having someone there who you could check with when you weren't sure.
