My brakes are rubbing on my front tire. Its only hitting on the left side, but right side is ok.

Sometimes when i change gears the chain falls off, or it slips from one gear to another.

How do i fix these two problems? They're driving me nuts.

brakes!

i really quickly put your brakes back on the other week when i found you almost losing a wheel :). they just need to be slightly adjusted. you can take a small allen wrench and tighten/loosen on the side until they center up. if you cant get them right, ask anyone at westlake tonight to have a peeksie at them and it should be a quick fix

I won't be out tonight to help you fix your brakes, I was however able to fix your spelling for you!


I urge to to google both 'brakes' and 'breaks', i bet it will be quite informative.

Is that supposed to be "to to" or tutu, as in "vicar in a tutu"?

Try:

I won't be out tonight to help you fix your brakes. I was, however, able to fix your spelling for you!

So, where is our rumored new forum for spelling and punctuation? I think we should call it "The Grammar Slammer!"

The Grammar Slammer where the Nazi Posse hangs out and "exterminates" homonyms and dangling participles (Though I am guilty of leaving a participle dangling in another thread, woe is I!).
