nice. I've been in some tough financial situations and sold most of my bike (I still have the frame fork and bar). hoping once things get better i can rebuild and ride more.

« on: July 30, 2019, 10:54:05 AM »there are basically 3 screws on a derailleur for adjustments:
a tiny one to set the inward movement limit, i.e. stopping the derailleur being able to move the chain closer towards the hub once it's on the largest cog
another tiny one next to it, to set the outer movement limit, i.e. stopping the derailleur being able to move the chain closer towards the inside of dropout once the chain is on the smallest cog
once you've got those set the chain/cog/transmission change should work regardless of how ghetto it is
aside from some surface rust, the bikes are in better condition than i realized. derailleur didn't need any adjustment, I was having a hard time getting the linear v-brake to work properly, i cleaned and greased the posts but the brake will not hold even tension on both arms or center itself properly.

« on: July 29, 2019, 03:29:31 PM »do you mean the whole derailleur is fucked? or just out of maintainence/ adjustments?
the easiest way to learn how to adjust/tune the deraileur to work 'good enough' is just to open a youtube video.
a basic cleaning and some appropriate lubrication, along with some basic adjustments, may make it work well enough depending on condition
so I just changed the cables on one bike, and it wasn't that bad haha.

out of the three bikes I have only one has drop outs that let me run single speed. I saw some videos on how to change the cables out, I'm going to give the other 2 bikes a try. believe it or not, this is my first time messing with bikes other than bmx lol
