The Chainbreaker Bike Book

By Ethan Clark and Shelley Lynn Jackson

An updated and expanded edition of the hand-illustrated and accessible introduction to the world of bike repair! Through working at both Plan-B Bike Project and French Quarter Bicycles in New Orleans, authors Clark and Jackson have gathered a wealth of experience to share with would-be bicycle mechanics. The first half of this book is a complete repair manual to get you started on choosing the right bike for you, riding that bike, and fixing it when it breaks down. The second half reprints all four issues of the Chainbreaker zine, whose originals were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. Many swear this is the absolute best bicycle repair manual out there, and the publishers even use it to fix their own bikes. It's incredibly useful for fixing older bikes, and the illustrated instructions help you figure out how to fix a wide variety of issues whatever kind of bike you have, whether it's a beater or a vintage classic.

This is a must own for any cycling enthusiast!
