Everything you need to know about cycling through 1,250 color photos!
This book provides up-to-date information about bicycles through 1,250 color photographs, making it easy for even beginners to understand.
And, regarding the basics of bicycle maintenance and management, we have made it easy to understand with lots of pictures and text, focusing on tasks that can be done with portable tools rather than professional tools.
So, no matter what bike you're riding, it provides useful information to riders and can even help with component upgrades.
This book also detects 'noise', 'uncomfortable feeling while riding', and 'uncomfortable feeling in the body' when riding a bicycle, but many riders do not know what to fix even if they feel uncomfortable.
To help you easily resolve each of these symptoms, we created a 'Maintenance Table by Symptom'.

Publisher's Review
From routine maintenance to responding to sudden troubles, you can do it all by yourself!
Recently, with the expansion of various bicycle roads, the number of citizens enjoying leisure activities by bicycle on weekends has increased, and the number of people using bicycles as a means of commuting to and from work on weekdays has also increased significantly.
However, in our country, there is still no institution that provides systematic education about bicycles, and proper bicycle repair shops are also rare.
So some bicycle enthusiasts refer to foreign bicycle manuals.
Unlike cars, bicycles don't require a lot of space to be maintained, so it's quite possible to do them yourself. Therefore, it's common to fix them yourself by following the appropriate tools and the illustrated instructions in the manual, as in this book. "Bicycle Maintenance: Everything You Need to Know About Bicycles" covers everything you need to know about bicycles, from choosing them to maintaining and repairing them, but which you might hesitate to ask about elsewhere.
A must-read for anyone who enjoys cycling.
