I'd like to be able to perform more of my own bike maintenance. Any books to recommend on the subject?
Thanks

It's cheap, aimed at beginners, well-illustrated, includes descriptive sections that get you understanding how different parts work together, and yet quite thorough!! That book literally changed my life. My copy has greasy thumbprints on the cover and all the pages :)
