Excellent Service, Excellent Manual
Great service, manual arrived quickly through Aus. Post. Very extensive. Can do basic service and a bit more with My limited experience. Suits the professionals too, I assume!

Digital version a great bonus
Being able to have access to a manual on my phone or laptop is extremely handy, so being able to get that as well as the hard copy for the same price is great. It turns out my bike came with an official manual, but this still has useful stuff for on the spot repairs.
