Books about Bicycle Repair

There are many great books on the topic of bicycle repair that can help cyclists of all skill levels maintain and repair their bikes. Here are some of the best books on the topic of bicycle repair:

  1. "Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance" by Lennard Zinn - This book is a comprehensive guide to maintaining and repairing road bikes. It includes step-by-step instructions, photos, and tips from a seasoned bike mechanic.

  2. "Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair" by Calvin Jones - This book is a comprehensive guide to bike repair and maintenance, covering everything from basic repairs to advanced troubleshooting. It includes over 500 pages of information and illustrations.

  3. "Bicycling Magazine's Complete Guide to Bicycle Maintenance and Repair" by Jim Langley - This book is a practical guide to maintaining and repairing bikes. It includes step-by-step instructions and photos for a wide range of repairs and maintenance tasks.

  4. "The Bicycle Wheel" by Jobst Brandt - This book is a detailed guide to building and maintaining bicycle wheels. It covers everything from selecting the right components to lacing and truing the wheels.

  5. "Barnett's Manual: Analysis and Procedures for Bicycle Mechanics" by John Barnett* - This book is a comprehensive guide to bike repair and maintenance, covering everything from basic repairs to advanced troubleshooting. It includes over 1,000 pages of information and illustrations.

These books are all excellent resources for anyone interested in learning more about bicycle repair and maintenance.

* Barnett's Manual is my personal favourite and I recommend that all bicycle mechanics purchase that one.

SELL YOUR OLD BIKE

If your bicycle is basically junk and you don't know what to do with it then SELL IT TO ME. I will use it for parts. I will give you a fair price ($20 to $30) for your old clunker just so I can rip it apart for parts.

If you need repairs check out my Bicycle Mechanic Services in Banbury-Don Mills.
