And back on the op's topic: even for the basics, it's quicker, safer, and potentially cheaper to learn from others who can tell you when you're getting it wrong. The alternative is finding out the hard way. I've been fiddling with my own bikes for years and some of my knowledge i've paid for with busted kit and broken skin.
