Review
Whether you have a brand new bike or one that was more than a year hikes, this book is a must have in your collection. The bike is a little different than most sports, you're usually in the desert, miles from the nearest telephone or road, and save yourself (and your bike) through a very challenging workout. In Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance, Lennard Zinn does a great job of ensuring that if the party fails equation bike, you'll know what to do. To suggest what tools you need to bring with you, teach you how to use and give you a quick lesson on how each work, this book covers everything. The book uses illustrations instead of photos, so it is easy to say what is happening, and it covers all different types (and ages) of components that you find. Coverage ranges from the base (change a flat tire) to the complex (changing your fork or crank) but it is clear through. I urge anyone that is riding seriously and wants to know more about how to adjust and fix their bikes. Since your bike and take you grows more laps, things will break or wear out, and what to do in these cases is worth the price of the book. Verdict hands down best bike repair books out there. Make sure you get the latest version so you can be up to date on the current components.
Get one and enjoy!
