Apart from riding, I have quite limited bike experience, so when something needs fixing, I'm usually not very confident and don't know exactly how to proceed (most complicated thing I've done is fit a headset). I really want to learn more about how to repair / replace bits myself, rather than relying on shops to do it for me (how to fit bb's, cranks etc - that kind of stuff) so was wondering if anyone could recommend any decent books that guide you through with lots of picture examples? Something easy to follow.
I'd feel safer using a book than going the Sheldon route as I have a tendency to make a bit of a mess and so don't want to get the laptop covered in dirt and grease.
I'm slowing collecting tools, but think a stand would make a massive difference, so if you can recommend a decent but cheap stand, that would be ace too.
Thank you very much.
