Infos

This full-colour, step-by-step illustrated book covers the maintenance, set-up and customising of high-end road bikes ('racing' bikes). Coverage is predominantly of professional-specification, lightweight components, such as carbon frames, forks, cranks and handlebars, together with top-of-the-range cranksets and gear components, and professional alloy and carbon wheels. Many road cyclists seek to upgrade and individualise their bikes, and this book is an indispensible practical guide for them.
