Anyway, my friend (VosBike) and I are interested in becoming home mechanics. We need a good book or two to help us learn about the ins and outs of every part of our bikes. A list/kit of the tools we'll need to buy to have a more or less complete set of tools would also be a big help.



Thanks guys.

With so much available online, you don't need books. However, if you insist, Zen and the Art of Bike Maintenance, and the Barnett's Manuals.

I will add that if you go to the Bicycle Mechanics thread, then you can download ALL the Barnett's Manuals for NADA!

Also, check out www.parktool.com for a good step by step to repairs with great pictures. While there you can check out some nice tools.

For my preference of tools, check out www.pedros.com
