I've already recieved the new chain, freewheel etc lol. to be fair, this bike has lasted me a long time carrying heavy bags etc... I've rid it for miles and miles, And even though the back axle was already broke in half, it still held ON for nearly 2 months. So I blame myself not the bike. However because I already have some of the parts, I could repair it and use the parts up, then if it breaks again, I will just buy a new wheel as you lot have suggested.
How does that sound?
Does that sound fair?
