      Comments about Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance - 2nd Edition:

      This is an excellent and informative guide to the inner works of your road bike and its maintenance. That being said a book on how to maintain your bike is now substitute for experience. If your interesting in learning to do your own bike maintenance I would highly recommend this book, and a good friendship with some one who has the experience.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
