Help asap. How do you put back rear wheel properly. Amatuer here.
I wanted to change the disk brake rotors so i did that. Now while putting back my rear wheel, i shifted both gears to lowest. I then put chain to the biggest cog in the back. And the chain to the smallest cog in the front near the peddals. Now when i cant even peddal, the peddals are stuck and wont budge. What am i doing wrong?

photos would really help. but I normally put move the rear derailleur as far away from the wheel as possible, then put the chain on the smallest rear cog. make sure that the tire is not rubbing against the rear stay.
but i don't know anything about disk brakes.

Make sure the chain i still on the smallest sprocket, and didn't fall off and get jammed between the sprocket and frame. Also make sure that the chain is routed correctly --- the lower loop goes around the back of the lower pulley, in front of the upper pulley, then around the back of the cassette. Check that the chain isn't snagged anywhere.
What you might try to see where the hang up may be is pull the upper loop forward to see if the rear is free, if so your problem is near the crank.
