No for that you ride the bike, work out what can be improved and take it from there. It tells you how to do things.
TBH most (decent) bikes are more capable than the riders.
Plenty of know it alls on here who can tell you how to improve your bike. And plenty of differing opinions.I don't do smileys.

As CD says ride it then when parts need replacing, research, ask advice on what you require, park tools is a fantastic site for information on how to do the maintenance and you can always ask on here.0 -
