Wahh!
Whats up guys?
I recently bought a Bianchi PISTA and customized it with a front brake and flip-flop hub in ont the back wheel. I am going to Iowa in the fall for school and I am hoping the this was a good decision, it's my first nice road bike. Anyone have titles of "how to" books on bike maintenece, changing flats, etc... Also are there any sites besides ebay where you can sell new/used bikes for free or a small fee $10 or less? |
craigslist, depending on where you live, is far superior to ebay in that regard.
|
get this bookhttp://www.speckpress.com/images/books/bicycle_big.jpg it has everything you need and is sometimes funny.
and use craigslist to get parts on the cheap. |
craigslist
what if you don;t live in San Francisco?
|
Selling a bike Craigslist is the way to go
Web sites with bike maintinace help, Mec's Learn bike portal http://www.mec.ca/Main/articles_main.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396038664&FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=1408474396038664&bmU ID=1185414322127 Sheldon browns bike page http://www.sheldonbrown.com/ Thers quite a few bike books out there I've got this one http://www.amazon.com/Zinn-Art-Road-Bike-Maintenance/dp/1931382697/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-6740476-8659365?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185414644&sr=1-1 |
Isn't craigslist only for san francisco area people, for selling?
|
the big blue book of bicycle repair by park tools
|

Nope there's links down the right side of the page for most US and Cdn cites, SF is just the default because thats where it got its start

if it's anywhere near Dubuque, you'll be riding some serious hills, which could be really fun with the right gear. Anywhere west is extremely flat and SS/FG will be perfect. The park tools book, AND the park website is good too. |
