Clear and easy to understand, even for this not-too-mechanical girl. Thanks to Zinn I can now tune my own shifting perfectly and even wrench for others on occasion. If you own the extremely popular Cervelo P3, you'll enjoy seeing your bike in the illustrations.

As an avid runner, I started doing triathlons last year. The first thing that I noticed is although I was able to pick up on how to ride a bike, I did not know much about the maintenance and precision of triathlon bikes. This book helped me understand the differences between road bikes and tri-specific bikes. It also gave me a good idea on how to maintain my bike and prepare it for races. The book also gets into fitting and does a thorough job of identifying and detailing all aspects and parts of a bike. A must have for any triathlete, regardless of skill level.

If you are looking for a no nonsense approach to your bike, this book is for you. Everything you would want to know and great for the novice to teh experienced rider. Excellent!!!

This book is great and a must read for anyone just starting out in triathlon. If you can't make minor repairs to your own bike, you're going to be broke and miserable.

I'm a runner but wanted to get into biking. This book has a lot of information in it. If you need a paper pal, this is the thing for you. I was overwhelmed so I just grabbed some biking friends and had them go over the bike and my needs for it. Much easier and interactive!
