  • If it's not in Zinn it's not worth knowing
Zinn writes clearly with a sense of humor. Anything you ever wanted to know about a road bike is in this book. Thank goodness he finally updated it for the newest generation of road bikes. I consider this the Bible of cycling. Even though I can't do all of my own repairs it is essential to fully understanding how a bike works and how to obtain the most from it. ... show more

  • Best bicycle maintenance book out there
If you want the book that does b out b all for maintenance and repair, this is the one. The average person will probably be better off with the Park manual, which is excellent as well. Zinn is the one bike shops would likely refer to.

  • Bought for a Gift 🎁
I bought this for my husband who is an avid cyclist and does the mechanical work on all of our bikes. He likes it.
