Is there...

...a website showing you how to service or look after your bike yourself?

Ideally I want to restore my old MTB, its about 19 years old (not been ridden for over 10 years). I am a DIY mechanic restoring a Beetle (with the aid of books lol)

Pretty basc stuff - if you want something a bit more specialised then youtube usually has a video or two if you sift through the crap.

BicyleTutor is Now a pay channel.

You Tube is your friend. Should be your first port of call. You can find everything you need in relation to bike mechanics.
Park Tools is a great resource. also Made Good

A great book is Zinn's Art Of Bike Maintenance.

No probs.
And should have added Cycle Chat's very own Know How section of the forum.
Ask away you you should get some helpful replies.

There is that Ian, but I don't want to ask questions others have asked (when they know half of the jargon) or stupid things...

Don't worry about that. It's what the forum is for.
Have a quick check using the search box and if you can't find what you are looking for then ask away.
