What are we all using? I have a Zinn but it’s years old and I need something more up to date.

YouTube from a hopefully reliable source like the manufacturer or Park

That blue book is good for 90% of stuff. Anything more in depth I go to Youtube or Sheldonbrown.com
I don't know about advice on servicing suspension though.

I find that youtube normally has what I need - which is typically brand specific weirdness like how to service a Manitou fork or remove a seized XD cassette.

... if only i had a reliable phone signal in the shed.

Thanks guys, I use YouTube a lot but it’s nice to have a book as well so you don’t have to keep stopping and starting the video for the more complicated stuff. Blue book looks a good shout.

Definitely parks blue book, has helped me out over the years, really easy to understand and follow, i was a complete noob when i started MTB'ing like most people.

With the aid of the blue book and youtube i now do all my own servicing, including suspension services.
