"Lennard Zinn's book is packed with in-depth explanations and useful diagrams." - Velo magazine "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 "Lennard Zinn is an institution in the bicycle world-a legend. Legions of cyclists have learned to repair bikes from him, ridden bicycles he's built, or used his advice as guidance on how to better enjoy the world on two wheels." - Bicycle Times magazine "Today''s bicycles are complicated machines that can be expensive to maintain and repair. Zinn has written this book to help both the leisure bike rider and expert mechanic handle almost any problem associated with road bikes." - Library Journaltry{F5_flush(document);}catch(e){} " Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance has instructions on anything an aspiring wrench would want to know.

Or, at least, it placated many home mechanics when they started cursing skipped shifts or loose headsets." - Canadian Cycling magazine "If ever there was a classic text on bike maintenance, this has to be it…Like its predecessors, it goes from super simple right through to complete re-builds. All are explained by a combination of Zinn's unique humour-filled, insightful and clear text, with Todd Telander's brilliant illustrations." - 220 Triathlon "Zinn is very good at taking you incrementally through the learning process-whether you are a beginner or expert mechanic." - Out There Monthly magazine "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.

All are explained by a combination of Zinn's unique humour-filled, insightful and clear text, with Todd Telander's brilliant illustrations." - 220Triathlon.com "Regardless of your skill level, this book is a great manual to have on hand. In its 5th edition, Zinn adds to an already impressive knowledge base, keeping things up-to-date with current innovations and tools. It doesn't spend all of its 464 pages going over installation and maintenance procedures; there are also a lot of useful tips and tricks." - Adventure Cycling magazine "Zinn is very good at taking you incrementally through the learning process-whether you are a beginner or expert mechanic." - Out There Monthly magazine "This book almost rates along with those 'missing manuals' that exist for computer software. When was the last time the manual that came with your bike bore any relation to it? Exactly. You could barely buy a decent tire for the price of this book and that should be justification enough." - TheWashingMachinePost.net "Simple to read and follow, the illustrated, large-format paperback manual features everything from replacing a flat to repairing components.
