I've done a search but can't find anything so I need your help!

Can anyone recommend a good Bike Maintainence Book?

Cheers

    zinn and the big blue book are good, but tbh it all moves pretty fast, you're better off looking at parktools and youtube for current advice for free!!!!!!

    Not being harsh, but.....if you spell it correctly, i.e. bike maintenance, you may well get a few more options.

    p.s. apologies, but my footie team has just lost, again, to lower league opposition in the cup :-(

    How much do you know?

    if very little to nothing then Zinn is a good base.

    But with both the Parktools and the Sheldon pages linked below and the makers sites everything is out there.there is also some good pages here on this site.

    Also for stuff like hubs etc the manufacturers web sites can be quite good (deore rear hub for example)
    Just hold it there,don\'t move and don\'t drop it, I\'ll be back in a while.(If it\'s safe).
