You might consider that there are folks who have responded to this thread who have figured things out, because they've been figuring things out for a very long time, and have a deep understanding of the fine points of building, maintaining, and repairing bicycles. Based on this thread, and the one posted about your rear derailleur, we aren't seeing a lot of indicators that your understanding of these things has come very far. Good luck. I hope you don't die.
