Firstly yes im new to this

When i took the bike out of winter storage the front mech (i think thats the right word for the front chain shifting mechanism?) had siezed. Any idea how to unsieze it? Kicking it didnt work.

Thanks,

Poiu

GT85, plus gas or any other penetrating oil/lube & a bit of sympathy. Work at it gently, don't force it (kicking it??????) if you still want to use it again afterwards

Find rock & roll blue chain lube works very well at unsticking things
