hey mountain bikers
Anyone know of a good resource for bike repair/maintenance? Things like adjusting/tightening breaks, adjusting deraileurs, patching/changing tubes, cleaning/lubing your chain, etc.?

I bought a book at borders. now i can do anything except press bearings which requires a special tool. but once you become somewhat familiar it's all very easy.

Shure is a tank 34.11 without front brakes and 1.95 tires lol, went on an XC expedition. the tires (2.5's) are supposed to weigh 2 pounds a piece lol. but that bike isn't going to break any time soon, not much of an all mountain bike more freeride.
