Bike question though.
The indoor trainer bike is just not cutting it as it has only one chain ring working - plus it is too big. I need to do hills and the 10 -15 degree hills are killing me in the big chain ring. As such, I am looking to grab some parts and put a correct bike size on the trainer.
I have seen a good quality second-hand 56cm frame for about $120/150 and I should be able to buy or scrounge some parts for the rest. I don't expect I need to add brakes as it's only for the indoor trainer.
Whilst I can look it up to do, how hard is it to put cabling and gearing on a bike? So, easy peasy lemon squeazy or are there things that I should be careful of?
