Yes, I read the repairs cover to cover. Book has a professional feel to it (no shortcuts) but the reader should also bear in mind that this book is British, so expect to see tyres and different words than you may be used to. If I were to purchase a repair book, this one tops my list so far.

Very good visual overview of the major elements of road bike maintenance. Gave me a much better idea of how my bike works.
