Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a bike maintenance book to refer to when I need it (my home network doesn't extend to the garage, and I don't want grease on my Mac notebook), and I was wondering if anyone had any particular books they could recommend. My first thought was to go with Park's Big Blue Book, but there are plenty of others. The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance and Repair: For Road and Mountain Bikes seems a good alternative, but any firsthand recommendations would be welcome.
Cheers
Maintenance books?

I can't give any first hand recommendations (I use the internet and my printer) but apparently "Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" by Leonard Zinn is supposed to be good.

+ 1 and I also have the Park's Tool book. I tend to use Zinn more.Kalgrm wrote: "Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" by Leonard Zinn is supposed to be good.

G'day
There is also Christopher's book (AUBicycles). It is probably linked to from the home page here at Bicycles Network Australia.
