I'm surprised to hear of seized pedals in Nevada. Either they're just on tight, maybe you're turning the wrong way. To remove either pedal turn the top toward the back of the bike. It can be hard because the cranks want to turn, but the way to get best leverage is to arrange the pedal wrench back over the arm, which will reduce the crank turning tendency. Just in case there's some corrosion, spray the area with PB blaster or Kroil, and let it soak in. You can even ride the bike a day or two after spraying then give it another shot.

As for the wheel, it's possisble you overtightened the hub bearings, so don't ride until that's corrected. If a simple adjustment doesn't solve it take it apart, check the work and try again. Check a tutorial to make sure all the parts are in the right sequence, and nothing that shouldn't is rubbing.

Sorry about the no Chain-L in LV. It's not that I haven't tried, but so far no luck. If you email me (through the site) your name and address and the name of your favorite dealer, I'll send a sample for both of you.
