 This is the bible of Mountain Biking January 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Now although I ride alot, I'm not really big on reading Mountain bike books from cover to cover. And I actually refer to the companion Mountain Biking DVD-Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance DVD more often. This one, on the other hand is just a wealth of information. It covers so many different areas. I've looked at other books in the stores. If you want to own just one Mountain bike maintenance book, this is it. I myself only have one-this one. If you are a more visual person, as I am - get his DVD video. It's awesome too.Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance
I often ride my mountain bike at night and use these lighting products:Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes-Envy(green)

Everything you need to know to..... November 5, 2007
If you are overwhelmed by all the moving parts or are just looking for a reference, this book is for you.
This book contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of everything you need to know to maintain and tweak your mountain bike.
 Where are the step-by-step photos? October 30, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is not a bad book. It is huge and quite comprehensive and probably has a solution for every problem. But where are the step-by-step photos that is much needed in a how-to book esp in the realm of bike repair! There are not even photos in color or b/w. The reader is forced to comprehend the "art" by some simple cartoon drawings?! Mountain bike repair is not exactly a simple thing to pick up for the normal person and the lack of photos make it even harder. Lastly, it is not a book you would want to read cover-to-cover. Granted, books like these are more for reference, but the writing is not even that great for the cover-to-cover attempt.
Own a Mountain Bike, Need This Book October 27, 2007
I really love how complete this book is. It covers just about everything concerning what makes a Mountain Bike tick and how to go about taking them apart/fixing things/replacing things (or at least have enough confidence to try the procedures at your experience level).
Sure, it won't make you a master bike mechanic, but, at least you'll know what sort of things are beyond you and roughly what the bike mechanic will be doing on your bike.
In any event, you want this reference book on your shelf.
