Barnett's Manual 5th Edition, is the ultimate technical bicycle repair manual, written to take the mystery out of every procedure and put emphasis on detail, logic, and measurement in order to accomplish successful repairs and eliminate guesswork. The book is illustrated with more than 1,000 computer-generated drawings that are clear and detailed, demonstrating procedures and reinforcing them visually.
Chapters are structured uniformly in the logical order a mechanic needs the information: terminology, reasons for service, prerequisites, tool choices, anticipation of complications, fits and dimensions, service procedures, and troubleshooting. Extensive reference information is included to minimize the need to cross-reference other resources when solving a repair problem. Worksheets are available that can be photocopied and used to guide the mechanic through any procedure. Chapters are based on the specific sample worksheets, so cross-referencing to the chapter for more in-depth information is simple.
Barnett's Manual 5th Edition includes repair information on the latest technological innovations, and details numerous improved techniques and tool choices. It is packaged as four volumes, available as a complete set. Each volume features perforated, grease-resistant pages, pre-drilled to fit into a standard three-ring binder.
