Product Description

Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance is the most sensibly organized and clearly illustrated guide to road bike repair and maintenance. Lennard Zinn’s friendly and straightforward advice makes tackling even the most daunting task seem approachable. Topics in this new edition include how to choose the right bike, instructions for regular care, proper installation of the newest 10- and 11- speed chains, how to set up superlight carbon-fiber components, torque specifications for tightening delicate parts, and much more.
Amazon.com Review
Lennard Zinn is a cycling god. Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance is revered as a bible among the fat-tire set; he now extends the gospel to the rest of the cycling faithful in Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance.

From simple, routine maintenance to more complicated tasks, Zinn remains “convinced that anyone with an opposable thumb can perform any repair on a bike.” He begins with “Basic Stuff” such as pre-ride inspections and cleaning the drive train, and continues on through the super-advanced task of wheel building–arguing that “the construction of a good set of bicycle wheels is actually a straightforward task.” Zinn guides readers step by step through every possible repair on every possible part, handlebar grips to Maric Mektronic electronic shifting, with plain-speaking text and helpful illustrations. There’s even a section on emergency repairs, including unexpected advice such as straightening a bent rim by hitting it against the ground: “You may be surprised how straight you can get a wheel this way.”

This comprehensive manual is essential reading for those who love their bike. “All you have to do is follow the instructions and trust yourself.” Indeed. –M. Stein

Product Description

Zinn & the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance is the world’s best-selling book on mountain bike maintenance and repair. This smartly organized and clearly illustrated guide—now in two colors for easier reference—can make a bike mechanic out of anyone.

Lennard Zinn’s expert advice makes quick work of mountain bike repair. Newcomers and experienced mechanics alike will benefit from the hundreds of illustrations, the exploded views of how components go together, and Zinn’s practical, time-saving tips. Zinn’s friendly advice and years of experience make tackling even the most daunting task fun and easy.

All the latest high-tech equipment is covered in this new edition, but Zinn does not neglect older bikes. Indeed, no matter what mountain bike you may have in your garage, chances are you’ll find it—and the way to fix it—in these pages.
 

Amazon.com Review
Lennard Zinn explains that it doesn’t take special skills to learn how to care for one’s bike, only “a passion for spreading new grease on old parts.” Clearly, his ambition is to share with newcomers the Zen-like joy of bike maintenance. But it’s seasoned bike mechanics that should be tripping over each other for a copy of this comprehensive and ambitious manual. Zinn differs from other how-to books by guiding readers–with plain-speaking text–through almost every imaginable repair on almost every imaginable part. He covers everything from rebuilding hubs, to loosening seized stems, to installing six different types of bottom brackets. He even risks cycling blasphemy by walking mere mortals through the art of wheel building–an intimidating task that can take years to perfect. Although best suited for the old pros, his guide is user- friendly, funny, and essential to anyone willing to love their bike. –Ben Tiffany
