You can trust Cycling Weekly.
The first impression of this weighty tome is that it might be aimed at the more advanced home mechanic.
Get inside it though and it's actually very beginner friendly, with great emphasis placed on initial positioning and bike set-up.
The step-by-step processes can appear a little information dense, however, and not everything gets a diagram, but it's not too drily written.
The illustrations that are included are extremely clear and detailed though.
