Still the "Bible"...

The second edition of the BBB is a slick, well-illustrated and bound volume which builds on the success of the first edition. I have found it to be thorough and up-to-date on recent bike technology. It certainly is a bit of an advertisement for Park Tools, but frankly the 'advertising' has subsidized the price of this book, and we all can benefit from that...

The Only Book You Need If You Really Care About Your Bike!

The is the second copy I have purchased; I can't say enough about the book and Park Tools in general. So far, most of the tools are still being made in the USA, which I love! The book has many illustrations to guide your repairs. You can't go wrong with this repair guide.

Just What I Needed

I'm training for two, back-to-back centuries and found that with the amount of weekly riding I'm doing I needed to learn how to maintain my bike myself. When the book first arrived the maintenance process seemed so daunting, but once I started following the instructions and actually worked on the bike, I found that The Big Blue Book of Repair holds your hand through the entire process and makes it easy.

The book has detailed instructions that verbally walk you through the process step-by-step. It even repeats the process for other component groups. The supporting pictures are excellent and help to clarify, rather than confuse (as I've found in other tutorials). The Big Blue Book of Repair made the whole experience go from scary to fun.

It was extremely satisfying to hop on my bike knowing I had successfully made the adjustments it needed. Now I want to order a solid tool set and repair stand to pair with this book. I can't believe I'm actually excited to maintain my bikes.

If you bike in flipflops don't buy this book

If you routinely bicycle in flipflops,if you don't know the difference between schrader and presta valves and you've used a flat bladed screwdriver on a bike tire, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. If however, you consider real Saturday night fun fine tuning your derailleurs for the Sunday ride and you usually have a row of small evenly spaced grease spots on your arm or leg, then you will slap your forehead and exclaim, "They have a tool for that?", when you BUY THIS BOOK. You will discover important techniques for bike maintenance and equally importantly, you will discover tools that make the job much easier and achieve better results. To keep this review short and sweet, I won't repeat the above comments except to say this may well be the most important and useful bicycle maintenance "tool" you ever buy.

The Best Bicycle Repair Manual

In the early 1970s, I taught myself bicycle repair. I went on from there to have a modest bicycle repair shop for 12 years. I wish that this book had been available then. It has complete easy to follow instructions for most types of repair and maintenance. Over the years I've read most of the bicycle repair manuals on the market. This is by far the best. My only criticism is that it doesn't cover repairs for the cheaper bikes (of which there are many out there). These bikes have one piece cranks, coaster brakes and nutted hubs. For these repairs, the best repair manual is still Anybody's Bike Book. It's out of print but available on used book sites such as Amazon and ABE.

A visit to your local mechanic costs you time and money, especially when you could learn to pull that bottom bracket yourself. But even the most seasoned home mechanic will find the Park Tool book useful when there's a $5k jewel dangling from the stand. Compiled and updated yearly by the number-one bike-tool company in the world, the Big Blue Book contains step-by-step instructions for repairing everything from road to bmx bikes, whether you're doing simple maintenance or a complete overhaul. Lots of photos allow your 6-year-old daughter to walk you through the most complicated of repairs, and as a result you'll spend less money on six-packs for your local mechanic.
