I thought bikes with all their gears and things were so complicated. This lesson shows you exactly what to do, where, and how. It's so nice and easy to help keep your bike in good condition!

Great lesson in bike tune-up for the do-it-yourselfer. Of course if you want it done professionally, see the good folks at Jack & Adam's.

Good information on keeping your bike in tip-top shape. I highly recommend you download this lesson and blow up to double size when watching because it is much easier to see the details of what he is doing and playback on the site is a lot more grainy than in the download version.
I wish the shots of each bolt position were a little longer or that there was a list of common bolt positions displayed at some point during the video so I could pause on it and double-check all the places on my bike to make sure I didn't miss anything.
For the tension of the chain in shifting it would have been nice to see examples of what happens when it is too loose or too tight. Seeing where the chain was running and fixing it was much more helpful than just seeing everything working properly on the other end of the bike.
Adjusting brakes, brake position, and the headset are all great and very easy to grok. James' delivery is pretty stoic, but he clearly knows what he's talking about and I don't feel like I'd need a shop to look at my bike anymore when I hear odd noises or have shifting problems.
