"Tremendous value. Has given me the confidence to make most repairs & adjustments myself. In addition to saving the money, this book has kept my bike from ending up in the shop waiting to be worked on for days at a time.

From the mfg:

Zinn & the Art of Triathlon Bikes is the first and only book on the market that caters to the specific bike tuning and maintenance needs of triathletes. Using the successful format of his best-selling VeloPress books, Lennard Zinn guides triathletes through the many triathlon-specific problems including bike tuning, maintenance, and shipping a bike safely from race to race. He also provides clear advice on equipment choice and upgrades to help readers make sensible choices as they advance through the sport. Triathletes will improve comfort and develop speed in the aerodynamic time trial position, increasing their enjoyment of the bike leg, which is the most technical leg of any triathlon race.

Newcomers and experienced mechanics alike will benefit from the clear illustrations, exploded views of components, and practical tips on how to completely and properly maintain all aspects of their tri bikes in order to ensure hours of trouble-free riding. Readers will also find help with deciding whether to tackle the maintenance project or head to the bike shop for repairs. The practical and time-saving tips in this book are not available in collected form elsewhere.

Zinn is one of the world’s most trusted authorities on bicycle design, maintenance, and repair, and this book answers the call for “a Zinn book” for triathletes.

This book has given me the confidence, as a newbie to the bike world, to begin doing my own repairs and adjustments. It's already saved me money that I would have spent at the LBS, but it's also kept me from having the bike in the shop for days at a time.

Book is customized for Tri Bikes, but still general enough to cover most common builds. Instructions are very clear, with helpfull illustrations. This book is a huge money saver.
