"Lennard Zinn is a veritable cycling Einstein, and as a naturally gifted teacher he has the unique ability to explain even the most difficult mechanical task. So unless you currently ride on a high-profile pro team with your own mechanic (and maybe even then), "Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance" is an absolute 'must-have' book." - Davis Phinney, Olympic medalist, U.S. Pro champion, and Tour de France stage winner
"There really is no other bicycle repair manual like this. "Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance" is very up to date, very clear-thanks to the profuse illustrations-and accurate and comprehensive. This book essentially takes the place of a collection of several other books, component manufacturer's assembly sheets, and the collective wisdom of years of hands on bicycle maintenance. And it's all in a very enjoyable format intended to be encouraging and confidence-building." - USCyclin
