You appear, by your username, to be a man. So what do you want with instructions!

Man up and just fiddle with stuff, it's the best way to learn!

LOL!!!

There is a school of thought that says that nothing you own is yours untill you have taken it apart!

Good on you Firemansimon for wanting to do it

This is the site I tend to opt for first.
I have the Haynes manual as well, but I get along much better with video tutorials than I do with books.

No, putting it back together is easy too. Putting it back together so that it works, however....

+1 for Sheldon and Park Tool - cover most of what I've ever needed between them.

That said, taking it apart is easy. Putting it back together is the tricky bit

Don't start taking the thing apart until you know how to rebuild it. B)

nah, sitting there with your bike in bits is the best way of figuring how it goes together.

Nah, sitting there with your bike in bits on a Sunday evening when you need it for Monday a.m. comuute - then you have no choice but to figure it out.

Nope. That's why you need to buy another bike to have as a spare. N+1 and all of that...

then you just get confused as to which part fits on which bike.
