It's kind of hard to pedal(I can still ride fine but it would be nicer if it was easier) and I noticed the higher the gear I have it in, the easier it is to pedal. However it only stays in the second to smallest gear and every time I try moving it, it just goes back to that gear.
I'm no expert at fixing bikes so if you need more info I'll try my best to explain.
Also if I could get the chain to stay in place without taking it to the shop that would be wonderful(That's the absolute last resort)
Making your bike a 1-speed is pretty easy. It will be making it anything other than a 1-speed that will be more challenging. Are you up for a 1-speed?
Edited to add: try looking at chain tensioners and if you want to remove the rear changer (derailer), a set of metric allen keys.
