I'd love to know how to do my own bike maintenance, but coming up to speed with the necessary knowledge and experience is another thing. I suppose I just need to dig in somewhere and get my hands greasy, have a good tool set and a good book handy, and just do it.
In addition to the Bicycling Magazine book of bike maintenance, is there another tried and true book you rely on? One of the local LBS teaches the Park Tool course, and I'm considering that too.
Try
www.parktool.com and in the upper right click on repair. Since Park sells the tools they are more than happy to teach you how to use them. Repay them by buying................wait for it................Park Tools.
I would gladly be a Park Tools Shill.......................
