Here are two books that I have used extensively. I maintain two bicycles, mine and my wifes', and have never run across a problem yet where either one didn't have the information I needed. The "Complete Book" contains information and corrective maintenence prcedures on vir- tually every component, and "Sutherlands Handbook" is great for finding out exactly what you have and what you need in the way of parts and components. I have used both books and Frank Berto's articles in bicycling to set up my own gearing chart and buying and installing the parts necessary to convert my touring bicycle to a triple with half-step gearing. I also found the troubleshooting sections in the "Complete Book" very using in shooting down some strange one I had with my bicycle....I highly recommend them.
