As a total non-tech I could not understand the instructions. It does assume prior knowledge and the photos are difficult to understand as there are not enough stages. Some drawings would help as photos can be too busy, and don't have arrows etc.

An Excellent all round good basic manual on bicycle maintenance. Nicely laid out and easy to follow photos. Lacks in more technical side but it is a basic manual and it does that well.
