    how do i remove a bikes front tyre when it has no quick release and has disk brakes?

    Not exactly sure what you mean when you say one of the nuts won't come off. Is it because the wrench slips on the nut or because the threads are stripped on either the axle or the nut? If its because the wrench slips on the nut you might try a set of vice grip pliers to hold it more securely...

    Who has a harder time riding a bike in wind...heavier or lighter riders?

    The wind resistance any bike rider encounters is based solely on the frontal area the rider presents. The larger the frontal area for the wind to hit, the more resistance will be encountered. If the heavier rider could somehow position him/herself so as to present the exact same frontal area as...

    Do I have to replace the entire wheel if my rear axle is broken on my bicycle?

    First off, I doubt that a reputable dealer would try to sell you a new wheel if all you needed was a skewer. About the only way that I can see that you might need a new wheel, would be because you did some damage to the hub itself when you bent the axle. I suspect that might be the case...

    What type of bike would you recommend for my type of riding?

    Everyone has an opinion, this is mine. At $300 for a new bike, road, mountain, hybrid, etc, the best you can do is a mass market big box bike with substandard components. That same $300 can but you a quality used middle of the line brand name bike, like those you mentioned. Sure, the bike...

    The 2001 F-250 with a gas engine has a 38 gallon tank, my guess would be that the diesel would be the same.

    bought a bike from sports direct its faulty and they r not answering my mails?

    I hope you don't have too much invested in this transaction because I suspect that there's a real good chance that you aren't going to get any satisfaction from sports direct. Caveat Emptor is the latin phrase - buyer beware! Probably your best bet may be to contact one of the local TV...

    1986 ford crown victoria 5.0 I have changed coil, coil wire, plugs, fuel...

    Had similar problems with Crown Vics before. Problem was a defective ignition module. Routine check on module didn't indicate problem because the module operates correctly most of the time. Fixed problem by installing a used module at minimal cost.

    I just bought a 2000 Dodge Durango - there's a bad electrical problem....?

    Obviously there's a short in the wiring somewhere, most probably under the dash. Unfortunately the answer is to have someone find and fix the short and that probably will mean a trip to a pro. Doesn't have to be the dealer but should be a specialist in electrical problems.
