 Simply stated, if you own a bicycle of any make or model, then you need your own personal copy, August 3, 2007
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
|

Rob van der Plas is a San Francisco based mechanical engineer with a lifelong passion for the bicycle. This passion is reflected in this writing of several books about bicycle, as well as articles about bicycles for various trade and consumer cycling periodicals. His technical expertise is such that he has been an expert witness in patent disputes and other legal cases regarding bicycle technology. Profusely illustrated throughout with color photography, "Bicycle Repair: Maintenance & Repair Of The Modern Bicycle" is his newest work and is specifically designed to enable the non-specialist general reader to acquire the ability to maintain and repair all types of bicycles. Fully up-to-date and covering all the latest equipment and accessories (as well as older models of bicycles), "Bicycle Repair" covers some workshop procedures and roadside repairs, as well as preventive maintenance and adjustments of gears, brakes, and suspension. Simply stated, if you own a bicycle of any make or model, then you need your own personal copy of "Bicycle Repair" by Rob van der Plas.

 Wretched Kindle version, July 3, 2011
By M. Detlefsen
|
|
This is one of the worst formatted Kindle books that I have come across. It's chock full of spurious paragraph breaks, runtogetherwordslikethis, and text that changes color from black to red to black again seemingly at random. The figure titles are not associated with the figures, the initial letters of chapter openings are on a line of their own, and this is just in the sample. The printed version is probably great, but the Kindle version is awful, and looks like nobody at the publisher checked at it at all.

Easiest repair manual to read, July 3, 2011
By OncoDoc (Puyallup, WA United States)
|
|
I have this manual, in addition to the Park Blue Book and Zinn Road Bike Maintenance Book and Falcon Guide. This text is the easiest to follow and best illustrated, thus giving it 5 stars. It is also the least comprehensive, leaving out discussions on the variety of parts that one might encounter, such as delving into the nuances of Campagnolo components. Still, it offers the fundamentals of bike repair in a clear fashion, making it a superb starter book for learning bicycle repair.
