Can anyone recommend a good 'Haynes' type manual for a road bike? I am quite handy with spanners as long as I know what to turn. looking at my rear derailleur 105s is like looking at a watch movement!

There's a variety of online resources from Sheldon Brown, to Park Tools to guides on the main online retailers. Youtube has loads of stuff as well.

If there’s anything I’m not sure about I’ll check the net, print out a few guides and see how I get on. It’s probably not worth buying or relying on one single hardcopy resource.

I think the "Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair" is generally recognised as one of the best all-round manuals - mine certainly gets lots of use and I've yet to revert to a bike shop / mechanic
