Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance, by Lennard Zinn
This book has been a real saver both mentally and economically.
Through simple and clear illustrations and instructions Zinn guides you on almost every aspect of building, maintaining and fixing your bike.
Zinn managed to dispel my misconception that fixing your bike is hard and better left to a professional. This book will make you want to do it yourself.
