Although I didn't read this book in its entirety, I volition say this book is a godsend for people who bike and want to larn about bikes.

The 2000 edition felt extremely dated. It's interesting to learn nearly the changes in bicycle components over the by 20 or xxx years yet, mixing history and practical step past stride instruction simply made sure sections experience muddled. Illustrations were hand drawn and not very articulate. Actually would like to find a good comprehensive guide that covers every bit much as possible, within reason - this doesn't seem to be it for me.

Describing mechanical adjustments of simple, yet elegant mid-eighties bike parts appears to be a gift that comes naturally to Zinn. His instructions for adjusting cup and cone manner bearings brand the process easy.
