I'm not going to suggest any particular book, 'cause I'm thinking about
buying one, too. But there are a couple of things to look for...
First, there has been a lot of new technology in the past couple or 3
years, most notably indexed shifting. The problem I find in looking for
a good repair book is that they either don't have anything about indexed
shifting, or what they *do* have looks like it was shoved in hurriedly
as they were going to press. Make sure the book you choose is new
enough to give a reasonable treatment to indexing.
The other is the same problem on a different scale: mountain bikes/ATBs
are also fairly new on the scene. And there are a few differences, like
chainstay brakes (I have grown to hate 'em) for one thing. But on the
whole, ATBs are similar to most bikes.
Me, I'm just going to wait a year or so until there are more books to choose
from with information on the kind of stuff I have.
