Zinn and the Art of the Mountain Bike Maintenance

Active Junky’s been cross-referencing this 600-illustration volume for years.  We’re not alone as this guide is the world’s best-selling book on the topic.  Here’s an insider’s tip; buy the book before you get a bike to see what’s involved with each component category including brakes and forks.  Over 450 pages of practical ideas make Zinn’s work a must-have from a cycling fanatic who rides and lives the two-wheeled mindset.  Anticipate problems but be ready to escape them with some sense of style and artistry thanks to your new best friend Lennard.
