I have written in the past that I am not the person you want fixing something. Angie is more into tools than I am. Kiersten got mad at me and pointed out that we had not fixed a bike that she got about a year ago. The problem is the chain kept falling off. I thought it might have to be shortened or the back wheel extended. I don't even know if that can be done. I pulled the bike into the living room to look at it. I gathered tools, like I had a clue what to do. I started going around the back tire. I could not find any bolts I could loosen. At one point, Angie looked. She did not see anything.
Frustrated, I just sat there and looked at the chain. I placed it back on the spokes or whatever it is called. I turned the pedals to see if something jumped out to me. Low and behold I saw exactly what I thought was wrongs. The main pedal/spoke thing was bent. The spokes were coming off the chain at a certain point. I went into the garage to get a hammer. I pounded on it. After a couple of times, I think I got it. I had Kiersten got out to try it. So far, it has worked.
She has gone out multiple times and it still works.
