Masterful book!
This book is comprehensive. It starts with basics about tools and how bike nuts and bolts and nylok nuts work. Talks about getting your confidence up that “You can do it”. Also broaches the topic of” Do you really like riding bikes, or really like restoring/building bikes. So you can decide how much you want to take on. The rest of the books delves into every conceivable topic of fixing or restoring the bike. I bought it because I am beginning to restore my 1973 Holdsworth Record. I want to keep it as original as possible. I also have an E-bike which I want to properly maintain.

A comprehensive bicycle repair manual for pro and amateur “wrenches”
The Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair, 4th edition (BBB-4) is the latest revision to Park Tool’s classic guide to all aspects of bicycle engineering, covering preventive maintenance, repair, and general information.*If there’s a better guide to bike repair out there, I’ve never seen it.*While it has some minor formatting failings, I still recommend it anyone who’s ever thought of working on their own bike.Moreover, I can vouch for its accuracy. I volunteer as a bike mechanic (a “wrench”) for a local non-profit that distributes bikes for free to people who need a bike for general commuting but can’t afford one. I’ve repaired all manner of problems in all types of bikes, and the Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair is unfailingly consistent with what I’m taught on the job.Pros: – Comprehensive: Covers road, mountain, gravel, downhill bikes; covers everything from wheel truing to tool selection; covers all types of brakes, hubs, derailleurs, wheels, frames, cables; even includes torque settings and lubricant choices- Well-illustrated: Instructions are well-augmented by copious, clear, and accurate photographs- Accurate: Instructions are clear; everything mentioned is consistent with techniques used by pro mechanics- Good organization: Specific areas of the bike are organized into their own chapters; Chapter title and page number are at the top of the pageCons:- *NO INDEX*: Major failing. Some repair manuals don’t have great indexes, but BBB doesn’t have one at all! Unheard of in modern writing.- Pages are a bit too glossy. I worry that my notes will smear when I write on the pages.- You don’t have to replace your version with this one unless yours is old.

Very useful for a bike owner
Must have for a clueless bike owner (like me). Explanations were very clear, easy to understand, and comprehensive. Saved me several trips to the local bike shop.

informative book
The book details most of the maintenance work that might arise with a bicycle. It lacks belt drive systems and suspension maintenance. Rather feels like a book to showcase ParkTool tools. The explanations are quite good and correct sometimes a few more detailed pictures would have helped, but otherwise very good book.

Standard reference, solid instructions & good photos
Great standard reference. Covers most types of hardware in common use. May not exactly correspond to your bike, but with careful reading & examination before you start working, it should see you pretty far.

PT, Good For You
I cannot say much yet… I’m just beginning. I’m pretty sure this is the good stuff. Thank you for not only uploading online but also writing this book. Your time and attention with respect to your family history as well, tells me a lot of what I need to know. Will follow up in due time.Soup Sandwich

BEST. TOOL. IN. EXISTENCE.
If you are a home mechanic this is perfect. You get step by step instructions on how to fix or repair anything! This wonderful book has been the most helpful addition to my toolbox! I have a tendency to call it “The All-Powerful Book” just because it is that helpful. I suggest you find a paper weight though. Even if you are a bike mechanic with a shop I suggest you keep this around because it has EVERYTHING from replacing brake pads all the way to internal gear systems. Also it has a list of tools it suggests that you have in your home toolbox. (I’m assuming that it assumes that you have multiple bikes or it assumes you know which tools fit your bike because it lists EVERY bottom bracket tool.

Le fait qu’il soit en anglais n’est pas trop un problème pour moi, mais c’est quand même bien dommage de ne pas avoir d’édition en Français.Donc je recommande pour qui l’anglais et l’anglais technique ne rebute pas.

A great reference guide for experienced or newbies to bike repair & maintenance.Park tool kit isn’t the cheapest , but you get what you pay for in my opinion.I’ve just built my first road bike from the frame up, It was great to be able to have a book to hand for reference in my garage, when I don’t have the opportunity to look to the internet for tuition.
