None of that is true of my hybrid.

Likewise.


What repair books have you found most frustrating when dealing with your hybrid?
Which have been the most appropriate?
Your taking the whole "my bike is a hybrid" thing way too far. A bike is a bike and weight has nothing to do with derailleur adjustment. The Bicycling magazine series of books will more than do the trick. Good luck
