We had a thread here recently about the exorbitant price of bike repairs (well... it was a good deal compared to auto repairs... but...).
Recently, I've had to replace my rear derailleur and chain. As well, the brakes on my two bikes seem to be giving out at the same time.
I have all the manuals and also love the Park Tool site, but I discovered a bunch of neat videos at YouTube than really beat the heck out of any manual I've every read.
I just love this production featuring Mike, the wrench explaining how to adjust v-brakes. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqMDye2Jumg) There are some slightly better productions, but even the worst of them seem pretty useful.
Ever check these out?
