Unless You Have A Brand New Bike...,
By Tyler J "Tyler" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance and Repair: Your Complete Guide to Keeping Your Mountain Bike Going Strongly (Cycling Rescources Series) (Paperback)
Luckily, I got this book from the library before buying it. I own a bike that is about 4 years old (2000 model). This book is dedicated to all brand-new top of the line parts and bikes. When I bought my bike, it was still in the $800-$900 range. Not completely top of the line, but good components. Nothing in this book helped me with the maintenance of them.
Bottom line... if you have a brand new bike that has top of the line components, buy this book. If you are like most people who can't afford $2000+ bikes and want to do their own maintenance, buy "Zinn and The Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" by Lennard Zinn. You won't regret it!

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance and Repair: Your Complete Guide to Keeping Your Mountain Bike Going Strongly (Cycling Rescources Series) (Paperback)
Mountain Bike Maintenance And Repair by Thomas Roegner is a comprehensive and up-to-date instructional to keeping a mountain bike and equipment in tip-top shape for long trips. A meticulous text is decidedly enhanced by full-color photographs which demonstrate everything from basic cleaning and preventive maintenance; to repairs on the trail side; and overhauls to exact maximum performance from one's equipment. Covering just about every piece of biking equipment imaginable, Mountain Bike Maintenance And Repair is an absolute "must-have" instructional and reference for any dedicated mountain biker.
