1960s Raleigh Glider

boringnora · Aug 20, 2013

I have a Raleigh Glider that my mom got in 1968. I love it and I ride it everywhere, but I really don't know anything about bicycle maintenance. I try finding information online but it's difficult to tell what actually applies to my bike, most info I find seems to be for more modern bikes. Can anyone recommend good books on vintage bicycle maintenance/repairs for a beginner? Thanks!

A blast from the past, brings back memories of when I was a lad

Best guide to bike maintainance is the Barnett Manual, IMO.

You can subscribe for the most up to date version, but pdfs of the older versions may be available too.

Good luck,

Johnny

Park tools site is full of top advice as well. Youtube also (bit hit and miss)

YouTube is also an endless source of information.

Thanks everyone! I've ordered a few books, hopefully with those and the internet I'll be able to make minor repairs on my own from now on
