• Adjusting the latest derailleurs,
including Shimano’s
Low Normal Dual Control
•Additional tools for recent
equipment
• Adjusting and
maintaining suspension forks
• Disc brake care and feeding
• Cartridge-style bottom brackets
and integrated-spindle cranks
• Crank Bros., Time and Shimano pedal
service and cleat adjustment
• Extensive rear suspension service and setup
• Torque specifications
Customer Review: Why read a book when you can watch a video?
I’m kind of a visual person, and I don’t have the patience to read a maintenance book. That’s why i like this dvd. I can easily see what needs to be done to adjust my derailers for example. Then if I can’t figure it out I just rewind a little. This dvd has saved me a ton of money. Even offers some unique ways to fix flats that I hadn’t thought of.
I’m also mainly a bike commuter-often times at night. Other unique items that I use for night riding include the Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes-Envy(green) & illuminite leg & arm warmers Performance illumiNITE Leg Warmers
I have a done a little more off road mountain biking recently and found these videos useful: Performance Mountain Biking & Wildflower Mountain Biking for Women. The Wildflower DVD, although made by women for women, is actually pretty good for anyone to look at who wants to be a more technical rider.
Customer Review: Starting out
What can I add that hasn’t already been said earlier?
If you can get the book and the dvd. This has been a great introduction for myself as I wanted to learn how to best maintain my mountain bike. It has proven to be very accessible for even a beginner like myself and yet not feel like I’m being talked down to by the author.
I only recently bought this and already some of the maintenance & repairs I’ve done have saved some serious cash. Now as I walk into the local bicycle shop I know what I need for the tasks at hand.
For the maintenance and repairs I do now I save myself money and also I spare the time of the local bicycle mechanics by not taking it in for maintenance jobs I can now do. They have noted this and do appreciate it.
