Summary: Organized, Concise and Thorough
Comment: As a beginner home mechanic (despite riding mountain bikes for the past 18 years) I found this book to have a very organized approach. I particularly appreciate the grading of repair/maintenance so you will know how difficult a job will be before beginning. This book will essentially be free from the money you saved after a skipping a couple of tune ups at the shop and doing it yourself. It seems amazingly current with the latest equipment even though it was published a few years back. I highly recommend this book to all recreational riders. Nice hand drawn diagrams, I prefer this reference to the other one I bought with photos due to the organization and the exploded views that photos cannot replace.

Summary: Good but...
Comment: Overall, I think this is a solid book but I would have liked to see more pictures. Although he includes a few images to illustrate what he is talking about, a more visual guide would have been helpful. Still, the instructions are fairly clear and the book is very thorough.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: I bought this book for my husband who is a mountain biking nutter. He just loves it, can't get his head out of it. We would definately recommend this book to anyone who is interested in repairing/maintaining your mountain bike.

Summary: Great book for MTB's!
Comment: The Good
- This is a great book for mountain bikes. Since mountain bikes have a lot of "specialised parts" that road bikes don't have, e.g. suspension, disc brakes, v brakes, etc., this book is much better than books that cover all bikes in general. They just don't have sufficient detail in explaining MTB parts.
- This may be a bit subjective. Illustrations in the book are drawings instead of actual pictures. Drawings seem to give me pretty decent understanding on what the author describes. I have used a book with actual pictures but they sometimes are unable to show all the details that a drawing sometimes can.
The Bad? ... or what should be better?
- I would have preferred more pictures to describe a particular task. Reading a whole lot of detail can sometimes be difficult.
- Sections can be categorised in a more 'reading friendly' format. The previous book I had (sorry can't remember the author) sections it very nicely and makes it very quick to find items that you like to fix.
The good plus the bad, I rate this book 4 stars.
