Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Today's bicycles are complicated machines that can be expensive to maintain and repair. Zinn (The Mountain Bike Owner's Manual) has written this book to help both the leisure bike rider and expert mechanic handle almost any problem associated with road bikes. In an effort to appeal to people of varying mechanical abilities, the book separates bicycle repair procedures into three levels, depending on difficulty. Level one is reserved for novices, while levels two and three are for more mechanically savvy bike owners. Each chapter covers a certain bicycle component and includes the tools needed to repair that particular part. Zinn also includes troubleshooting guides at the conclusion of each chapter and, for those interested only in general maintenance, a chapter that covers the basics of keeping a bike road-worthy. Whether someone is experienced at repairing bicycles or is just a weekend rider, this book includes everything to keep bikes rolling. Recommended for all public libraries.--Patrick Mahoney, Off-Campus Lib. Svcs., Central Michigan Univ., Mount Pleasant Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\

    Great bicycle repair manual for everyone.

    I love working on my bicycle and this book has everything I could have asked for and then some. It is written very well and the illustrations are right on the money.
    I feel everyone should have a bicycle repair manual in their home and this book is it.It is very easy to understand and to follow along.

    As good as it gets...for me.

    "Wrenching" doesn't come naturally to me. I'd rather be riding. I'll still leave the major overhauls to the professionals with the expensive tools, but books like this are helpful for minor adjustments, lubrication and general understanding of how a bicycle works. It's not really that complicated of a vehicle compared to a car that needs to be hooked up to a computer to be diagnosed.

    This is a fine and useful book if you take the time to consult it. Well written and organized with helpful pictures. The lack of the fifth star in the rating says more about me than the book.
