    Book wise I've got "road bike maintenance" by Guy Andrews, lots of colour photos for the 3 big brands and it's spiral bound to folds flat when your working with it. Picked it up in Waterstones for £15.

    That clip is mint! I've never really fancied mucking around with my gears for fear of totally knackering them, but I just might have a go (on my MTB) one day soon.

    The youtube clip is brilliant. Bought my bike second hand last year and on some, if not most of the gears I have to double click the lever to get it to change. I am now going to have a look at the gears over the weekend and see if this resolves it.
