I've learned most everything about fixing stuff (and everything about fixing bikes) by simply doing it. Bikes are simple enough that anyone with any mechanical aptitude should be able to fix pretty much anything almost intuitively.
I've looked for some bike repair manuals, but the ones I've seen so far only cover stuff that you can probably figure out for yourself. Anything else I just go online for.
