Hi everyone, thank you for all your responses.

I was just asked about the finer details of why I need to change the drive train, which has prompted me to elaborate to you all. The sprockets are both badly damaged and have torn into the chain. I recently stretched the chain out as far back as the rear axel would go. On Wednesday, I had just left Uni and was riding into the Macquarie Centre car park and the rear wheel locked up and I skidded to a halt (thankfully I was travelling at less than 20kmh). The chain had worked its way loose, came off and wrapped up the rear axel. I unsnagged the chain and rolled the bike into the car park, I then got NRMA to tow it back to my apartment garage where it now sits in the visitors parking.

I would love to get a Haynes guide and get to work in a well set up home workshop but one of the biggest issues is that I have no tools. I don�t even know which tools to get so I sort of want to see them in action and get a feel for what I want in each tool before I start buying up.

I�ve just moved to Sydney to study full-time and encountered a lot of costs associated with the move. I can�t afford to be buying tools which I may not need or find to not be suitable. I don�t even have the tool kit which would have come with a new bike. I know that sometimes you buy a tool then a month later realise that you wish you had bought the slightly different variation instead. So basically, the cheaper option is to just take it to a workshop and get someone else to do it all. (I�ve found that workshops don�t let me in to see what they are doing due to OHS/WHNS)

I�ve accepted that I won�t have the bike fixed this weekend.

So in a broader time frame, what do you all suggest?

Thank you,
Nick Kamols (Camels)
