About the book
To get the most out of your
mountain bike, it had better be in
good shape, and that’s what this
book will help you achieve. From
basic cleaning and preventive
maintenance to trailside repairs and
sophisticated equipment overhauls
and material selection criteria,
it’s all covered in a widely
appealing and superbly illustrated
format.
The author has taken great pains to
make sure every latest piece of
mountain biking equipment is covered
and that every instruction speaks
for itself. After a helmet, this
practical book should be the most
important mountain bike accessory.

biking monthly, Bike Magazine.
This US-English edition of the book
