Regular Bike Maintenance
To disable ads, please log-in.
Can any of you suggest a book on regular bike maintenance and very basic adjustments for road bikes? I've looked at a couple but they seemed to complex for what I need to know for now.
What I want to know is- where (what part of the bike) should I regularly lube the bike and using what type of lub/grease (I know about the chain - it's other parts I'm not sure about) - and how often. How do I adjust the brakes, take up slack in the gears and make other like easy adjustments?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!Ms Liz

Zen's guide is really straight forward. I would also recommend http://www.parktool.com/repair/... click on the part of the bike that needs help and it will point you in the right direction.
