I have a very old Haynes book which I still refer to from time to time and I've always found it easy to understand and follow. I'm assuming the newer versions cover modern technology like Ahead stems and V brakes

Sounds like you need an old pc (plus internet) in the shed

so i may start my journey into bike DIY.
at the moment i can ....

remove either wheel
fix a puncture
remove/replace a tyre
flip the stem
mickle the chain
raise/lower the saddle

and that's about it (hides head in shame)

i want to be able to ....

change the cassette
fit a new chain
grease the hubs
remove the BB

and do all the bike maintenance myself. i know youtube is my friend, but when i'm 100 ft down the bottom of the garden,in my shed with my radio ..... would prefer an old fashioned book

A really good book - I bought copies for my sons in the hope that I wouldn't be called upon as frequently!
Nice and clear advice from the basics, right up to simple (?) wheel building. Good photos too.
I picked up my copies at The Works bookshops for about half the Amazon price - but still good value I would say.
