Customer Review: Not so great.
I can’t believe the 5 star reviews this video got. On a lot of topics, I have found better information on youtube. On Some things the info is good like hydraulic brakes maintenance but overall this video was almost a complete disappointment. Most topics are not explained completely. Spend your money on a good book instead. If you are a true novice then you will enjoy the initial insight into things but if you have any experience with bikes you may be upset you spent money on this as I was. 3 stars because I did learn something.
Customer Review: Why read a book when you can watch a video?
I’m kind of a visual person, and I don’t have the patience to read a maintenance book. That’s why i like this dvd. I can easily see what needs to be done to adjust my derailers for example. Then if I can’t figure it out I just rewind a little. This dvd has saved me a ton of money. Even offers some unique ways to fix flats that I hadn’t thought of.
I’m also mainly a bike commuter-often times at night. Other unique items that I use for night riding include the Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes-Envy(green) & illuminite leg & arm warmers Performance illumiNITE Leg Warmers
I have a done a little more off road mountain biking recently and found these videos useful: Performance Mountain Biking & Wildflower Mountain Biking for Women. The Wildflower DVD, although made by women for women, is actually pretty good for anyone to look at who wants to be a more technical rider.
