The cable for my front derailer is much too long. It hits the pedal every time. It it safe for me to cut the extra part of this cable or may it ever be needed? I've tried bending it back around other parts a few times but it eventually gives away and gets into the pedals again
Hi all. I just got a g1 explorer from Walmart... delivered and for some reason it came assembled. I know its a cheap bike but I'm mostly going to be using it for exercise and as a road bike not gravel. I want to make sure I enjoy it and can get used to drop bars before spending real money on something nicer. I'm also a 5'4 male so its hard finding something in my size with no real bike shops near me. So hopefully I'll be able to get this bike fixed and upgrade next spring!
On top of that they sent me the old v1 instead of the v2 despite it not being in stock locally for months. Drop bar, small version. I actually prefer the small tires and the steel fork so I'm ok with that. I haven't road it yet but it seems to have several issues.. Drop bars came angled way too low I can fix that easily, they're at a 45 degree angle pointing at the ground. But I'm just getting into cycling. I'm 44 and got back into it for exercise last summer with a trek hyprid fx7.3 but flat bars hurt my arms too much, I broke them both with open fractures on an electric scooter 2 years ago and have plates on both ulna's and radius. Funny enough last year I hadn't rode a bike since breaking my femur on on one when I was 7 :D
Front tire looks to have some wobble when I spin it but I got spoke wrenches to try and fix that later.. its not bad so I'm going to ride the bike a bit first. But when sitting on it in the house I noticed that when I have the front tire straight forward my handle bars and the stem and slightly pointed to the left. To fix this do I just need to loosen the 2 screws on the back of the stem or the one on top of it? Or all 3? I am finding mixed results when I tried to google it and I just wanted to ask before making things worse. Thank you all.

I love Taco Bell and normally have it at least twice a week but todays mess up with a new low for my local store. They normally are really good but I just went to eat my cheesy fiesta potatoes and saw this sticker. :( Sure enough it was just a cup of room temp nacho cheese and sour cream, no potatoes. I even doubled checked my receipt to make sure I didn't miss a mistake when ordering it and nope, it doesn't say remove or no potatoes on that. I'm surprised the employee making this didn't even question it.
