Repair/Maintenance Resources
- Sheldon Brown’s Bicycle Technical Info: A tremendous wealth of information on everything bike related, I’ve referenced Sheldon’s site for countless bike repairs and dating particular vintage bikes.
- Park Tool’s Youtube Channel: Obligatory, lots of incredible tutorials on repairs/techniques here. Helped me build by first wheel.
- Bikes Not Bombs: Much more approachable maintenance videos with a great mission for education and service to back it up.
- John’s Bicycle Restorations: Great, detailed step by step blog posts on vintage bike repairs with photos.
- VeloBase: A vintage bike database.
- Guide to Stripping Bikes: Useful if you’re getting into retro rebuilds or volunteering at a bike co-op.
