Hello all!
I know very little about bikes but I have bought a second hand bike to commute (from a friend of a friend) and am having problems changing gear. It has 21 gears and the first 14 work fine but when I try to get into the top 7 there is a lot of clicking and it never changes gear. Does this mean I need to replace the cogs?
It is a pretty rubbish bike and I only paid £70 for it but I really can't afford to scrap it so I need your help!
Thank you
