Hey guys, I'm jumping the gun here but the book is being formatted by my executive secretary as I write this and I'm just too excited not to share it. The release date is February 15th when it will be available online for free download. I've tested the download feature from a storage site and it works. The book is mostly aimed at the average cyclist who isn't familiar with bike maintenance at all and doesn't cover repacking grease. Nothing new for you guys, but I guess that a lot of people might find it practical. I started from scratch, so no copy and paste from my website and added new pictures as well. Next step will be to figure out how to make a hard copy available and translate it in my Mother tongue which is French, which might take a couple of months!

That will be cool. Definately worth looking over. Looks like something that could be added to the bike coop's library.

Very nice Gerry. I have always found your information to be quite helpful. Look forward to downloading!
 
I just got done reading your book and I have to say that it looks quite good. I think for the novice it could use a few more pictures, but over all it's very thorough and well articulated.
 
If you want to print hard copies, LuLu.com is a self-publishing site. You can have your book professionally bound and available online to sell. I'm not sure how they do it, but I bought a book from a friend through them and it's real nice.
 
I'll be using cafepress to sell hard copies. I want to use a spiral binding set up so people can lay it down flat. I'm waiting a bit for more feedback so I can make some changes before going that route.
