61vCnFjD 3L. SL160  The Chainbreaker Bike Book: A Rough Guide to Bicycle Maintenance The Chainbreaker Bike Book: A Rough Guide to Bicycle Maintenance Here’s a hand-illustrated and accesible introduction to the world of bike repair. Through working at both Plan B Bike Project and French Quarter Bicycles in New Orleans, our co-authors have gathered a wealth of experience to share with would-be mechanics. The first half of this book is a complete repair manual to get you started on choosing, fixing, and riding your bike. The second half reprints all four issues of Chainbreaker zine, whose originals were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
Customer Review: Really not impressed
If you have an el cheapo street bike then maybe this book will be useful. Maybe. It will not be useful if you have anything decent which the authors seem to be proud of saying that modern road bikes and mountain bikes are wasteful. They also appear to be proud of being obnoxious detailing stunts such as riding drunk and knocking mirrors off car doors. The "zine" is half the book and is jsut boring and stupid. using the old courier typewriter font for the entire book has been done to death. By the end of the book I started actively disliking the authors who are all wrapped up in their definition of whats cool while denigrating everyone else. I suggest you look at the book before buying.
Customer Review: Great Activist Overview of an Bike Maintenance and Repair
This is a great overview of basic bike maintenance, and cycling culture attitudes with an emphasis on self-empowering and community action.
