While some may be of the opinion Glenn's New Complete Bicycle Manual is outdated--that it is not. Yes it does not contain the latest technology considering it was published in 1987. However, this book is a classic. After borrowing the library copy too many times, I purchased a copy.I used this book to repair my modern day cruiser and an old 1960s Schwinn 3 speed I came across at a garage sale, that the local bike shop could not repair. The photos are excellent and the information sufficient. This edition contains the same information as the first edition with additional information as well as updated information--so this is a classic revised.I found the descriptions in Glenn's better than several of the "modern" or recent bicycle repair publications which tend to gloss over the topics.For anyone learning about bicycle repair or the weekend warrior attempting an overhaul of the common bicycle this book is a useful addition to your library.
The first version of this book was published in 1973 and then revised and published in this format in 1978. The Glenn Manuals had always been my favorites and this one reminds me of way. Very complete and clear for the era and an excellent resource if you work on older bikes. It also covers the Sturmey Archer and Shimano 3 speed hubs and coaster brakes that are still out there. As a historical document it is also interesting.
This is an updated version (early 1980s) of Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manual (see my review there). It covers systems and bicycling issues who came up since the first manual was written in the early 1970s.Some of the pictures in the 1970s edition have been replaced with more updated pics, especially in the section concerning safe bicycling and traffic rules - (I miss the charming young bike lady of the 1970s edition in short-shorts and sans helmet )..Since "Glenn's complete Bicycle Manual" and "Glenn's New Complete Bicycle Manual" are dirt cheap I got both editions, out of curiosity and for comparison. Both manuals are basically the same when it comes to technical information about earlier mechanical bike components; so both serve the purpose as well when it comes to have a comprehensive shop reference material.
Everything you need to know about repairing old road bikes and is easy to read & understand. Hope this review helps
Perfect if you're fixing a vintage 70's era bicycle like I am. Pictures are well done for the era and the descriptions give a Chilton manual style of instructions. It isn't full idiot proof instructions but a great start. It even includes hub rebuild for my Sturmey Archer SW.
Ten speed tech manual! Coverage of bicycles from a by-gone era.If you still own any ("English Racer" or "10 speed) bicycles, then this book is for you!Does not & will not directly apply to modern bicycles, however is still a very good reference for beginer bicycle mechanics & curious onlookers into the inner workings of this amazing invention!
Great reference book. A must have for the DIY bike rider. Basic, easy to follow instructions of basic bike maintenance and repairs.
Great repair manual for older bikes. It is hard to find this information today and broken down into step by step instructions
