Review: loaded with information a good buy - I have been doing my own bike maintenance since I was in grade school... I had a different manual a couple decades ago, but I had not ridden in a li'l over a decade and just got a new (ish) bike. I now have things like hydraulic brakes, and dropper posts, so I figured it was time for a new maintenance manual. Zinn was one of the top rated manuals, so I figured I would grab it. WOW... Information overload. I am sure this book tells you almost everything you need to know to be a professional bike mechanic, but it can be a bit hard to find the exact piece of information you need when you need it. I do not feel it is the best organized, but that could just be my logic vs someone else's logic. no two brains work alike and all that. I needed to adjust the derailleur on my mountain bike when I bought it... I ended up going to the internet for the information I needed after finding EVERYTHING about derailleurs EXCEPT what I was looking for.  I am pretty sure after reading that section of the manual, I could make my own derailleur starting with how to mine the ore I need to make the metal to make a derailleur from scratch :) Seriously though, if you are JUST getting started, or if you have not done your own work in a LONG time  this book can be a bit daunting, but it has the information you need... somewhere. My old bike was MUCH easier to maintain than my current one, but my "new" bike was a competition level bike a smidge over a decade ago when it was new... my old one had v-brakes, friction shifting, coil over non-adjustable rear shock... by the standards of when I rode it it was out dated, by todays standards it is seriously primitive. now I have hydraulic disk brakes, dropper post, pneumatic shocks, ratcheting shifter... in all bikes are much more complex than when last I worked on them... It is going to be a learning curve. I personally Recommend this book (or the road bike version if needed as there are separate versions for the different styles of bike) If you want EVERYTHING you could possibly need, consider these three books: Zinn and the art of... (of course I am going to recommend this book even with my comments above about information overload) Bicycling Magazine Complete book of Bicycle Maintenance and Repair (my old book) and Park Tools Big Blue Book (the professionals reference manual)
Review: Good for home mechanic - Easy to follow, illustration is good.
