These books are primo. If you want to understand, in excruciating detail, how to maintain your bicycle, then these are the books to get. The writing is straightforward, and the illustrations are excellent and clear.

The books are full of "recipes" covering this or that task, and provide a complete enough set of tasks that you could completely dissassemble every part of your bicycle and put it back together.

Obviously if your goal is to add an electric motor into your bicycle, you need to understand bicycle construction at a much more detailed level than most people require.
