Introduction

Collecting information

If you buy a new bike, make sure that

you keep the accompanying owners

manual, so that you can refer to it

alongside this book. Do the same with

any new equipment that you buy.

If your bike is not new, obtain a

manual from a bike shop or the

manufacturers website. Manuals will

help you be aware of the particular

maintenance requirements of all the

components of your bike.

If you want to learn more about

bike mechanics, there are many

magazines available that contain

tips on specific components. However,

the large majority of people who are

simply interested in learning how to

maintain their bike will find everything
