Can I repair a 10 speed bike myself?

I don't want to take it to the shop and spend a lot of money if I can do it.

Depends on what's wrong with it. If the chain needs tightening, that is easy - take a socket wrench and tighten the bolt under the gear-shift. Other problems are more difficult, but the good thing about a bike is you can see what the problem is. Often a wrench may be all you need.

Yes, if you have patience and a few tools. Most 10 speed repairs are fairly easy to fix, with great how-to guides available on youtube and other common web search sites.

It all depends what you are fixing. First look for the catalog that came with the bike. This might be a learning experience for you. Mark all the parts in the order you took them off. Take your time and don't let anyone distract you.

I would think you could repair it yourself but I guess it would depend on what is wrong with it.

NO u cannot repair a 10 speed bike your self because its very complicated and difficult to repair it by yourself if the problem is not very complicated then you can repair by your self otherwise not. if you do by yourself then may be some other problem take place.
