Thanks for the Lug clarification- my tires have lots- so I'm in good shape there I think- I guess it will just be getting used to having to power through- just sucks.
Still learning. It was a gift when I turned 15- and haven't had a need to do much to it. The cable for my front derailer literally exploded- right out of the casing. I could have replaced it; but never use it; didn't think to keep something I don't use. I replaced the brake cable and housing- works great now!

Isn't making something simple- removing the excess, the non-useful and the non-used? What are your suggestions to properly do this. I am new at it all and would appreciate suggestions.
I'm just looking for a commuter to travel normally 4 miles; occasionally 8. But the free bus route is the main transporter- the bike just gets me on it, and to my final destination.
Thanks for being honest!
