Commuter

[cadishead67]

Hi All,

I have an old Raleigh hybrid that I commute on. I want to get more into recreational cycling. Would anybody have a recommendation for a cycle repair/servicing guide? I have seen the Haynes Manual, the Blue Book and the Zinn books - which is the best? I need to strip down by back cogg and chang the chain soon so want guidance on that.

Your best bet is YouTube these days.

If you want a book, I've seen the Haynes manual and it is pretty good.

With old hybrids you need to identify the type of rear cassette. How many cogs to start with, then what version of attachment.

I can't help, but hello anyway!

Blue Book for me but that's only because I've not seen any other book. But like @Chris S says, YouTube these days.

I have the Zinn book and happy with that.
