The lack of grease is no surprise. If you bought from a bike shop, I would think they would check before letting it leave their shop. I would expect them to have done that.

Why does it bother you so much to be slowest in the group? Someone has to do it. I am usually the slow one. I don't blame it on my 26" rigid bike. I embrace my lack of speed.

I'm curious as to why you cut it off, instead of trying Kroil and a pipe wrench and turn it. Seems like that limits your options.

I shouldn't bad-mouth the brake. It's more the narrow crappy tires I have on the bike. I would have a lot more confidence in a V brake. I guess that's because I'm used to them.
