Most of you probably know how to do pretty much everything with a bike however for those that dont I have just picked up a illustrated guide to bike repair and maintenance for £9 at my local Sainsburys. Not sure if this is Nationwide or not.

Good clear pictures and instructions on how to do maintenance tasks for both road and mtb's.

Might be worth a look.

does it have v brakes?, most of the maintenance books you see in cheap outlets have only reached the canti brake/rigid fork stage, let alonf v's discs and suspension forks

yes, it covers:

suspension - tuning, maintenance
v-brakes - tuning, maintenance, pad adjustment, road calipers
discs - hydraulic bleeding, hose shortening and maintenance, cable adjusting, pad changing

plus stuff relating to headsets, BB's, gear ratios, cassettes and so on.

Its probably crap by some standards but Im a complete technical numpty so Im finding it very useful.
