Mountain Bike Maintenance

Throughout its history, the bicycle has become more efficient, lighter, and stronger, in addition to becoming more suited to a wide range of terrain and more accessible to a broad range of users. This book looks briefly at the history of the mountain bike and basic cycling techniques before taking a detailed and in-depth look into how to service, maintain, and repair the modern mountain bike, with step-by-step tutorials throughout. It covers tools and equipment, wheels and tires, gears, drivetrain, brakes and suspension, and handlebars, pedals, saddles, and headsets.
