Cycle Repairing and Adjusting
With a Chapter on building a Bicycle from a Set of Parts

PREFACE This handbook is intended for the use of cyclists and repairers generally, and provides practical and easily- understood information on the complete overhauling of a cycle and on the execution of a great variety of repairs to the machine and its tyres. It describes how to prepare cycles for re-enamelling and re-plating, gives full instruc- tions on re-enamelling a cycle at home, and explains how to build a bicycle from a set of standard parts. In addi- tion, it describes and illustrates a large number of free- wheel clutches, coaster hubs, and variable gear devices. Should any reader need further information on any matter herein discussed, I shall be happy to give it him through the “Questions and Answers” columns of my journal. The Editor “ Work.”
