Maintenance book

Paul057

Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a book for me as a beginner to learn how to properly clean and maintain my bike, and maybe even do the odd small job on it myself? I've been on Amazon and i'm considering "Zinn and the art of road bike maintenance".
Thanks

Just buy a can of WD40 and an allen key set. Anything else is a waste of money

This WD-40 thing is getting ridiculous!

But seriously, you don't even need the allen keys if you have WD-40

I can only assume that Procyclist is a Troll, as he advocates the use of WD40 at any opportunity.

Peddle Up!

Wait for the next customer at the local car wash, then tuck in behind 'em.
