Good book with how to on up to date components, Jan 18 2009
By Accotink Fred "ole' pokey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance (Paperback)
This book should be the current leader in mountain bike maintenance because it shows how to maintain the components on newer mountain bikes. This book shows how to maintain the current Shimano and SRAM drive components, hydraulic breaks and front and rear shock maintenance.I like Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance because of it's thoroughness however, as time will do to all books on mountain bike maintenance Zinn is dated.

This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance (Paperback)
This is a super book and pretty much all you really need to maintain your mtn bike. I'm so turned off by the thousand page manual books on bike repair. This book does it in only few hundred pages and in full color. Foreword by Gary Fisher, the father of mtn biking, lets you know this book is the real deal!

very good maintenance book, Jun 7 2008

This review is from: Mountain Bike Maintenance (Paperback)
This book has plenty of color pictures and the text has enough information to perform most of the maintenance or repairs in a mountain Bike. I found this book very useful, being a self taught weekend "mechanic". Overall I recommend this book, I also have the Big Blue Book that is a little less graphic, I think its a good idea to have (and read)at least these two books if you want to do bike maintenance specially in models with newer components.
