video instructionals for bike repair

i find that the you tube videos are much easier to follow than written instructionals. a bike repair person named dave degado offers 200 hours of instructional videos on everything one needs to know. has anyone tried these videos here is his web page

The trouble with many videos is that if you need to use one, you don't have the experience to tell how good/bad it is.
I've seen some BAD videos produced by Stupid Idiots. Not just the run of the mill Idiots.

I'm happy with and recommend Zinn's manuals, but this seems good if one needs that kind/depth of visual instructional detail.

These are pretty good, although some people were upset when he started charging for them.
His forum isn't bad either, though not near as many members as here.
