Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Lennard Zinn Experience

I had a problem running the shifter cables with Campy's new shifter ergonomics. The directions were not at all clear, and nobody on the Bicycle Mechanics forum replied. So, I emailed Lennard Zinn last week. I was very surprised to find that he emailed me back, explaining how to run the cable. Then, a friend called me and said it was on velonews.com today. If I just had a local bike shop, maybe I could just ask them next time.

Zinn seems pretty cool. He has some books on bike mechanics, too.

His books have been pretty useful when I've needed help making repairs.

Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance is my main reference. There are lots of great online references too, but it's nice to have a book near the bike when doing something new or complicated.

My favorite reference, too. I will probably buy the new addition once it comes out.
