Recommend Books

[Aiden_23]

Anyone recommend cycling books relating to general maintenance,wheel building,cycling fitness or anything useful? I have the space available and over the next couple of years woudl like to build up a workshop in one of my garages, and would like to start to build up my knowledge now. I prefer books as I read before I get my head down and if I took my laptop to bed would just end up on this forum all night

For maintenance, The Park Book usually comes highly recommended although I've never used it myself. I have this one which is a bit cheaper and okay but it is now almost 7 years old so won't have any info on more up to date tech.

Not quite what you are looking for but may I recommend Lance Armstrong's 'It's Not About The Bike'?
Thoroughly enjoyed it as an easy read about his remarkable battle with cancer and subsequent comeback to win the Tour de France.

It looks more up to date than the one I have and seems to cover a few more subjects. Table of contents.
