But I honestly can’t tell if you guys are trolling or not with the “buy a new bike thing”. I don’t have an issue buying a $20 part and a few tools to do it myself. At the very least I see no harm spending an hour or two learning a new skill. I do have an issue with tossing out a bike that can be repaired let alone one that could get stolen/parted out when parked on campus.
You'll also need a lock ring spanner.

And an installation tool for the bottom bracket, if you got a sealed beating cartridge style.
