Do any visual tutorials come to mind? If not, is there a next-best-thing in the form of a publication with photos of how to do preventive maintenance?
Go over to velonews.com and look about halfway down the page. There is a series of short tutorial videos with well known mech Leonard Zinn. They might prove helpful to you and they are free. (Alas the website seems to not be working this morning - but I'm sure it wil be up again soon.) If not you can get tons of non-video assistance at the Park Tool website - see
