Summary

"Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance, 2nd Edition, is a thorough update of the most complete and best-illustrated reference guide to road bike repair and maintenance. Whether you want to tackle the advanced task of increasing the number of speeds in your Campagnolo Ergopower shifter or simply lavish some loving care on a trusty old ten-speed, you will find everything you need inside, with clear diagrams and succinct, step-by-step instructions. This revised and enhanced second edition features expanded coverage of the latest technology, more detailed illustrations, and plenty of time-saving tips collected from pro mechanics. And unlike other maintenance books out there, none of it comes at the expense of the tried and true parts that might still be in use on your faithful road or cyclo-cross bike."--BOOK JACKET.
