Needed more detail
Small and compact guide to general mountain bike up keep.

Very well illustrated and good layout. Has a couple of useful sections for pre and post ride checks, routine wear checks, but unfortunatly, did not seem to give me enough information on how to strip and rebuild or even adjust for example a rear derailleur or bottom bracket. I was looking for a guide to "hold my hand" when tackling some of the bigger jobs and unfortunatley it did not give me the confidence to do them.

Overall a good read with some usfull tips, but not detailed enough to inspire confidence in a novice.
