Ive got a rusty bike that my friend gave me. It is a cheap walmart bike, and was neglected for about a year. Needless to say the bike will not shift at all. The part of the shifter on the handle bar for the back gears will move all the way, but the gears will not change at all. The other shifter is completely jammed.
Additionally, you can ride it okay as long as the pressure on the pedals isnt too bad, but once i go up a hill the bike gives way kinda. The chain doesnt pop off. There is just no more resistance from the bike for about a revolution or after the incident. This will repeat constantly going up a hill.
Ive lubed up everything and tried to fiddle with it, but this is the first time ive really looked into bike repair.
