Review
"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." --Davis Phinney, Olympic medalist, U.S. Pro champion, and Tour de France stage winner
"Understanding the mechanics of your bike, knowing how to adjust it to suit your riding style, and knowing how to keep it running smoothly are essential to your mountain biking performance. Nobody teaches these skills better than the famous artiste "Leonardo da Zinnski." --Ned Overend, World and National Mountain Bike Champion

"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 th --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth the money - excellent advice and guidance!,
By davyj@masonland.fsnet.co.uk (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance (Paperback)
As a relative beginner to the murky world of fixing my bike, this particular book seemed to be the answer to my prayers - as long as it could deliver the goods...Let's not beat about the bush - the book does what it claims - and does it very well indeed. Zinn's writing style is relaxed and non-threatening - and yet highly informative and clear. I'm finding that, as I use the book, I'm not just learning how to do things - but I'm learning why. The book is very good on helping you see the links and connections and I'm finding that this is increasing my enjoyment of my bike (a £350 GT hardtail - so nothing extravagant). The illustrations - though basic, are very clear and easy to follow - again full marks. All in all, I'm really pleased with this book - if I could only get my riding up to the same standard!

Highly recomended,
By wyattweb (Surrey, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance (Paperback)
This is the first review I've written on Amazon and this is the only book on bicycle maintenance that I own. I'm so glad I bought this book. I've learnt so much here, even for doing the simplest jobs like replacing tyres or bars. I've acted on some of his tips, like buying the Rohloff chain testing tool and the drawings actually work really well and are humorous at times. Buy this book, Zinn is great to spend time with.

Well worth the money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountain Bike Owner's Manual (Paperback)
A great book on general mountian bike maintenance, Zenn's motorbike influence shining through... The savings you make from not having to go to the repair shop for services every few months are but a bonus compared to the confidence you will get from knowing how to properly service and maintain your bike! Includes handy tips on getting home when things break!
