I just bought an older used Trek mountainbike. It is in decent shape but
needs some work. My intentions are to do a pretty complete
teardown...cleaning and re-assemble of the bike. I will replace/upgrade
things that need it. I am using this bike sort of as a guinea pig so I can
learn how to adjust and fix things. Sort of a project. Can anyone recommend
a good book or repair manual that goes through everything in easy to

parktool.com does a great job with repair help. Just print out the
article ya need and take it to the garage.

If you don't have a bunch of tools already, those basic tool kits from
nashbar or performance are a real affordable way to get the basics.
Their rolled kit is on sale for $60 right now: http://tinyurl.com/psngj
