Good Evening group!

What is the best book on Bicycle maintenance/repair

I've heard that "Zinn and the Art of Bicycle Maintenance" is a good one.

Should I stick with Parks manuals?

I'm just a newbie looking for some good informational material.

Thanks again!

See if this is what your looking for, I'm fairly new when it comes to knowing about bikes, it was always a case of get on and ride, fix the odd puncture thats about it. I've been reading this manual and it's helping a lot.

I think it's Zen that you're looking for, not Zinn :)

Thanks guys for your help!

I'm going to probably start with the Zinn book and go from there - in addition to coming back here!

Thanks again!

Oh, well there you go. Shows what I know :).

Guess I was thinking motorcycle maintenance rather than bicycle :).
