Everything I need to know! I was actually looking for additional information on the process of truing a bicycle wheel, and building rims from scratch. This book allowed me to do more then that. This is worth its weight in gold. Forget the local bike shop (not that i dont believe in putting back into the economy, buy your tires and parts from them!!!) when it comes to expensive repairs. Put it next to your Chilton. The only book you will ever need on every aspect of EVERY problem you will come across in your cyclist…
