/trv/ , never posted here before so here goes...i recently found my self a college student, and as such wanted to use my bike to commute, however, every single moving part of the bike is rusted over and the brakes barely work, and the back tire wont hold air.the chain also comes off when pedaling and if it doesnt generally feels loose and/or bad.would a can of wd40,some rags, and a new chain restore my bike to its former operating status? or is it in my best interest to get a new bike?if it matters ill be going several miles daily and its a run of the mill mountain bike.pic first semi related pic i found.
try /n/ first. it aint called Transportation for nothin.
Sounds like your better off with a new bike as for its use. You wouldn't want it to break down on you, just to be safe.
