Book Reviews of The Chainbreaker Bike Book: A Rough Guide to Bicycle Maintenance
Book Review: gritty, real world bike repair.
Summary: 5 Stars
This volume covers a variety of maintenance and repair issues, and a bunch of copies from their old zine.
It's printed on paper that is very durable and is meant to put up with greasy fingers turning pages, and being propped open with bike tools or spare parts.
Over the course of the book you get personal insight into Shelley and Ethan's lives, and a window into bike culture in the cities they've traveled.
This is not a no-nonsense, comprehensive, full color photo textbook - leave that flavorless instruction manual format for automobiles! Bikes are supposed to be fun. Bike repair is fun too!
Printed in the zines that comprise the latter portion of the book you receive some enjoyable bicycle history, personal tales of adventure, and an occasional poem.
If you want bike repair instruction from people that are passionate about bikes - get this book.
