Bicycle! A Repair and Maintenance Manifesto

Just thought I'd post a little review for a new bike maintenance book I came across. We just got this book by Sam Tracy in at the bookstore I work at, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! While it's a little light on illustrations for some of the repairs he describes, the book is packed with little tips that I found really helpful. e.g. his description for changing tires was really helpful in mounting some stubborn rubino pros. Also he rides fixed and has a really good intro to fixed and winter riding (just to connect it to the forum ;-). All in all I'd have to say it would make the perfect addition to those who already have something like Zinn's repair book and want a little more day to day how-to info.
