Back tire not engaged when pedaling
#6
Yes it was brand new and assembled.

So tonight, I took off the back tire and yes the gear thingy (sprocket) was spinning in both directions which was obviously my problem. I brought it in a to a local bike shop and they took the sprocket off of the wheel and informed me that the hub on the wheel was stripped causing the issue. So I need a new back tire. The guy at the store assumes the person who assembled the bike over tighten this part causing it to be stripped. Any idea where I can get a cheap 26" wheel frame? The tire itself is like 1.5-2 inches wide. In my time I would call this a mountain bike, not a ten speed with thin tires if that makes sense. Like I said I am not bike savvy. Thanks for all your advice although it turned out to be a helpless cause. I'm sure the bike in total isn't worth more than $100 bucks and I was just hoping for something to get some exercise on. Well that exercise is just going to have to wait.
What is LBS?
