Cycling and Some repairs

Greetings riders 🤠

It's been fun riding with you guys. Seeing your bikes and what you doing to keep it together and flying 😉

Unfortunately, I got into an accident which changed the date of my bicycle — an MTB. This cost me my rear wheel, spindle and brakes. Even after that, the freewheel a sprocket actually went freewheel and I had to raise money from my savings to fix it after few months of the accident.

Luckily for me, I was unharmed. I told my bike idol about it and he supported me with two brand new tires to replace the former. 😎

At a point, I could not manage it anymore and the sprockets were to found in my region and making an order would take months.
I was forced to change it from the default to a freewheel which had seven cassettes like the old one. I also had to change the orb 😕 to match with the freewheel.

This guy's skill has made him popular in my area. He fixed it for me after two days as it was difficult to get the old one out as it needed special tools.

A lot of man power was used to get it out and successfully, a sigh of relief.
I wasn't the one doing the job but I could see and feel how difficult it was and that cost me a lot more.

Though it is Old, it was the only fitting freewheel to do the job. I went different places to find the freewheel but to no avail. Even the store that sales part and repair didn't have a match or and orb the would match with the freewheel they had.

I had to get a new chain too.

Cycling has been much better that what it was. I don't have to rotate my legs 3-4 times before moving. Though I haven't yet changed the rear wheel, it's been better to cycle peacefully at least.

Repairing a broken bicycle can be so costly. Nice that you managed to raise the money and are back on two wheels again 💪
