Maintenance book?
I gotta get up to speed with doing my own maintenance, and I have a new Jamis Komodo HT frame I want to start building up. With all this rain I figure what better time?
My question is should I get the Park Tool Big Blue Book or Zinn's MTB maintenance? I only ride MTB so the Zinn book is kind of appealing, but I like Park products alot too. Any recommendations between the two? Or another book altogether? Thanks in advance gang. |

All you need to know is Sheldon Brown. Typically if I need assistance with something I search on Sheldon Brown and the issue. I learned most of what I know from reading his site and trial and error.

I like to have a book because your hands are dirty and using the computer sucks at that moment. I have the Zinn book.
