Zinn is one of the world's most trusted authorities on bicycle design, maintenance, and repair. His popular books have sold over 180,000 copies and his latest book answers the call for a "Zinn book" for triathletes. Zinn & the Art of Triathlon Bikes is the first and only book that caters to the specific bike tuning and maintenance needs of triathletes.

Lennard has a simple yet powerful way of teaching the athlete bike maintenance, bike set up, and helpful tips and tools that will most certainly result in great improvements in this discipline of triathlon. I so wish that Lennard's book was available to me when I was competing!-Siri Lindley, 2001 Triathlon World Champion, Top-ranked female triathlete in the world 2001-2003, and Olympic triathlon coach

Using the successful format of his best-selling VeloPress books, Lennard Zinn guides triathletes through many triathlon-specific problems including bike tuning, maintenance, and shipping and reassembling a bike safely from race to race. He also provides clear advice on equipment choice and upgrades to help readers make sensible choices as they advance through the sport. Triathletes will find more comfort and improve speed in the aerodynamic time trial position, increasing their enjoyment of the bike leg, the most technical leg of any triathlon.

Newcomers and experienced mechanics alike will benefit from the clear illustrations, exploded views of how components go together, and practical tips on how to completely and properly maintain all aspects of their tri bikes in order to ensure hours of trouble-free riding. Readers will also find help with deciding whether to tackle the maintenance project themselves or head to the bike shop for repairs. The practical and time-saving tips in this book are not available in collected form elsewhere.

With a strong emphasis on advanced triathlon-specific bike fitting, Colorado Multisport are triathlon experts without the attitude.
