Master bicycle technician Denise Mannino and Jim Reed are the hosts and instructors for this comprehensive guide to maintaining recreational, touring, and mountain bikes. The program is divided into separate chapters for: wheels and hubs, the drive train, derailleurs, the steering system, brakes, and sizing and fitting (seat adjustment, etc.). Good use of close-up, and sharp video and audio throughout make this an excellent hands-on primer for bike enthusiasts who would like to be able to perform moderately sophisticated repairs themselves. An informative leaflet inside the slipcase provides a timed video index, list of recommended tools, pre-ride inspection checklist, and a list of recommended torque values for all the adjustments on a bike. Highly recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
