I've got a bike frame, and I have no way to remove the chain. I can't afford tools, so is there an easy way?

to solve your problem with minimal work, just bring your bike into a LBS and they should have the tool to take it out, shouldnt cost you a dollar or two, they might just do it for you for free! \n\nCheers

Get better chains.  The material in the ones you have might be  giving the rash.

Get some metal and weld it all together, some wheels, some tires, a couple pieces of rubber for handle bars and pedals, a few feet of chain, and a wicker basket for the front and you're set. =) Oh and a cushion for a seat...don't want to forget the seat. Ouch... =)

The chain could be loose or your gears need adjusting. You should take it down to your local bike shop and ask them to fix it for you.

yard sales and/or thrift stores may be an additional option. \nsome bike stores sell also used bikes which can be pretty cheap, I got a pretty good road bike for $50 this way in perfect working order

You could use a key chain.  There is one on this black-sploitation site.

Get a bunch of rags and wipe down the entire bike, get as much of the dirt off as you can. For the drive train, get a citrus degreaser and spray down all the parts. Get a rag and scrub all the dirt off the chain, the cassette, and the chain rings. Also get the derailers. After everything is clean and dry lube all the moving parts with your favorite bicycle lube. Every once in a while its a good idea to take all the drive train components off the bike and give them a good solvent bath. It only takes a couple of tools and a little but a add years to your bikes life.

Steerer tubes for new forks need to be cut to size.  This saves manufacturers all sorts of money over the old fashioned threaded forks because they just need to make one-size--un-cut.\n\ndepending on what the tube is made of, you can use anything like a hack saw to cut it.  My favorite is using a regular plumbing pipe cutter.  Get them at that big hardware store for about 18 to 20 bucks.\n\nBe sure the tube extends far enough for spacers and stem.  You can always cut more off, so try it a little long to see how the riding position works.  Or if you are replacing, you can use the old one as a guide.  Good luck

it might be that the chain isint on the same gear..or the gears that are alinged with each other.....you could try to get some oil libricant at a hardware store...to put on the gears and chain..

An 8mm Allen wrench can be used to tighten the crank to the bottom bracket.  On some older models, a 14mm or 15mm hex head wrench would be used.  However, if the bottom is what is actully loose, you usually have to remove the crank, tighten the bottom bracket, and then replace the crank.\n\nYou should probably take this to your bike shop if you don't understand what I've said above.

attach a metal brack from the underside of the ski up to the outer portion of the axle of the bicycle

You could apply Singer Sewing Machine oil to parts that have rusted.  You can find a convenient little plastic tube of this at Kroger grocery stores and many other places.\n\nIt is also possible to pull out the inside of the shift cable, oil it with that and put it back together. \n\nFor a cable that runs "bare" steel down part of the bicycle:\nIt is possible to lubricate this by simply sliding the outer part of the cable off of what you want to oil.  Pull it free from where it attaches to the frame and slide it over the bare part of the cable.  Oil all of the steel cable.  \n\nFor a completely solid shift cable:\nThe shift cable is 1) unscrewed from the rear derailleur,  2) housing (outer jacket) is removed (may have to remove a small aluminum cap from the derailleur end of the cable), 3) steel inner cable is oiled, 4) any kinks removed from the cable, 5) outer jacket is reinstalled, 6) clamp the end back onto the derailleur where it came from.\n\nIf this doesn't work at all, remove the rear wheel and check to make sure that the freewheel (5 gear cluster) doesn't turn both ways.  One way should go clickity clickity, and the other way should attempt to turn the wheel.  \n\nWith the bike upside down, check to be sure that your rear derailleur moves back and forth whenever you move the shifter lever.  If it does not, check the cable again, spray the rear derailleur with WD40 (don't get that stuff near a tire!) and you may need to purchase an inexpensive shifter cable from your bike shop.\n\nIf your freewheel (5 gear cluster on the rear hub) does turn both ways by hand, then it is in need of replacement.  One particularly nice option is to purchase a replacement rear wheel (5 or 6 speed rated for screw/thread on freewheel) in the right size from bikepartsusa.com or amazon.com's Niagra Cycle.  \nYou'll also need a screw-on 5 or 6 speed freewheel.  While freewheels are extraordinarily difficult to remove, they can be installed as easily as putting the lid back on the peanut butter jar, and you can request by phone that the two parts be pre-installed.  \nThis option ($25 to $30 wheel, $15 to $19 freewheel/gears) is about the cost of getting the old one repaired at a bike shop.  \n\nWhat do you do if the rear derailleur doesn't move when you move the shift lever, replace the shift cable, and already tried WD40?  Don't worry, quite a selection of Shimano's entry level derailleurs still come with the old fashioned "claw" mount, and they work great!  A Tourney TX30 with hanger mount or TX50 with hanger mount is about $8 to $10 and is compatible with older bikes.  \nYou'll need a chain tool ($3) and a Shimano 7 speed chain $(12) to complete this installation yourself.  Remove the old chain and old rear derailleur.  Size the new chain (add an inch if your new derailler has a longer "cage" like the TX70 Mega Range that works with 6-speed 13-34 Mega-Range freewheel for mountain gears--for both, add two inches), install the new derailleur, put the new chain on, insert the too-long looking Shimano connector pin (using the chain tool, pin goes--pointy end first), and snap off the excess end of the connector pin.  This is all in the directions that come with Shimano's 7 speed chains #'s HG50 and HG70.  \n\nSuitable oils for rusted bike components include Singer Sewing Machine Oil, 3-n-1 oil, and motorcycle chain oil.  Do not use car oil!  WD40 works in an emergency, but it can dissolve rubber tires and shift cable jackets.  After an initial break-in period, even these oils will attract dirt.  Remove this with dark green formula Simple Green household cleaner, rinse with water and dry with a hair-dryer or towel.  Reapply lightweight oil or use Mountain Bike wax-based chain lube if you want it to stay clean more easily or live on gravel roads.  \n\nHave fun, and remember that by removing the rear wheel, you can more easily find out what part isn't working right.\n\nfor

Theres way too many steps to tell you over the internet. Go to your local bike shop because it really depends on the parts you have and the different types and sizes. This is not really the best place to ask that question but good luck!\n\nPS-you will need a crecent wrech(preferably 2) a screwdriver, alan wrenches, some automitive grease(the black sticky stuff) and some free time.
