Awww you WILL get it in the end Nikki hon, just take your time at it and you will be fine, if I can do it anyone can
Yes I saw your thread about your snapped cable that is such bad luck lets hope you get it fixed soon...
yes this site is invaluable for advice for the total beginners like me too...I know very little about maintenance apart from lubing the chain and checking tyre pressure so I have had to ask a few q's myself on here many times, there are plenty helpful peeps about here
If you ever need a yarn or anything just PM me Im happy to chat about learning to ride I only been riding a couple years and remember how hard it is to build the confidence hon, you have a good weekend too xxx
