The easiest level consists of a basic tool kit that you could possibly carry on a day ride, such as allen wrenches, screw drivers, a pump, and tube. To get an idea of how challenging a repair or adjustment will be, the book rates its level of difficulty based on the tools required for the job. The books is also well organized, so you won't waste any time trying to find answers to your question. Like the previous editions, the writing style does not talk down to the reader, and makes no assumptions about your skill level when explaining how things work. The book is heavy on dialogue, but there are still plenty of diagrams that are well-referenced, and provide great detail as well as expanded views of parts that illustrate how the nuts and bolts of various components fit together. In its 5th edition, Lennard Zinn's book adds on to an already impressive knowledge base, keeping things up-to-date with current innovations and tools.
