MTB literature?
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good MTB maintenance book? I want a book that can take me step by step on how to maintain and repair just about anything on my bike.

Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance
Just got this and started reading it. Seems great so far.

Barnett's is also pretty good. You can download a few sample chapters from BBI.

I picked up a maintenance book at barnes and nobble. They had about three to choose from. So i was able to thumb through the books and see which i liked best.
