Product Description

Zinn and the Art of Triathlon Bikes guides triathletes through the many triathlon-specific problems of bike tuning and maintenance. It also explains about safely shipping a bike from race to race and provides clear advice on equipment choice and upgrades so that readers can make sensible choices as they advance through the sport. With this book, triathletes can become faster and more comfortable during the aerodynamic time trial and increase their enjoyment of the bike leg, the most technically demanding leg of any triathlon race. Newcomers and experienced mechanics alike can benefit from the clear illustrations, expanded views of how components go together, and practical tips on how to completely and properly maintain their bikes in order to ensure hours of trouble-free riding. Lennard Zinn's advice helps readers decide whether to tackle the maintenance project or head to the bike shop for repairs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for triathletes, May 4, 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, December 18, 2008
By Katy (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
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.
