Admittedly I am not the best at doing maintenance on my stuff. Last bike I had I rode it until the rear wheel fell off. My current bike makes a "woan woan woan" sound when I accelerate hard and a horrible screeching sound when I break. Really helps let people know you're close to them, but that's a different story.
Today I oiled my chain, but that didn't seem to fix the woan sound. Going to need to look into that a bit more. I also discovered why my breaking sounds so wrong. On bike breaks it looks like there is a metal strip under the rubber to let you know that you should have changed your breaks by now. Helpful.
I think that I need to take a class or something on bike repair / maintenance. My only problem with it is that I don't really like to do that type of work. I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up.
