Can anyone recommend a good, fairly current book on maintenance and repair that a novice can understand? The books I have picked up seem way out of date. I have no problem with paying my LBS to do things, but I feel silly asking them to do basic things like clean and grease front wheel bearings. I am actually probably more mechanically handy than a lot of people. I am perfectly willing to take things apart to try to clean/adjust/fix them. But my past experience with bikes has been spotty. I take something simple apart, clean it, grease it, put it back together, adjust it according to instructions, but it never seems to work quite as well as it did before I "improved" it. So I have been hesitant to do much more than clean the chain regularly and adjust cable tension when needed on my new bike. I have the recent maintenace issue of "Bicycling". Is that about as good as anything?
Thanks,
Raymond
