My free hub locks when I mount my rim to my bike I have the 26" Bontager RL any idea how to resolve this

Can't answer your question without a more clear explanation. Apparently, you are talking about your entire wheel, not just the rim. The gear cluster in the rear is called a cassette, though the rotating bearing is called a freehub (one word). You need to explain what you mean by it "locks". Can you not pedal forward or can you not spin the pedals backward? It's important to place the chain on the correct cog when installing the wheel. Usually best to place the rear gear lever in the highest gear (smallest rear cog) when removing and installing the wheel.

I Brought 5/8 Axe. For My Meridia 3 wheel.But The Drive Side Have.Small Gear On it.I Need That Rim 26".And Another Side to .I Look But I Can't Found Any. Thanks

Not possible to understand your need from your description. I would strongly advise you get in-person help from a bike shop....I advised in-person help because you are not being clear at all. The assembly of hub, spokes and rim is called a wheel. The rim is just the band of metal that the tire is mounted on. The axle is just one part of the hub. If you mean a Meridian 3 wheel, that is a Schwinn product. Contact a Schwinn dealer or a place that sells such bikes, such as Target or Walmart.

Ineed a rear rim with,all the works.for a resonance dbx bike 26".

It takes a standard 26 inch wheel (may be labeled 26x1.75, 26 x 1.5). Tire should match the front in width (1.75, 1.9, etc). The gears need to match the shift system, and I could not find info regarding that for your bike online. Need to go by how many speeds/gears on the rear.

Where can i find a rear rim for my solution bike 15 speed

Try eBay or Amazon, 5speed rear wheels are pretty rare these days. Most likely you will have to find something used.

How do I get my brakes to work again?

If the brakes shoes are that worn that the adjustment on the handlebar will not take up the cable slack, you will have to make the adjustment at the brake itself, or get new brake pads. The wear limit of the rims themselves is usually only reached after several sets of brakes. (Depends on how much sand gets into the brake shoes)

My bicycle's pedal moves before the wheel. I tried reassembling the chain and the wheel. P.s my bicycle doesn't have a mechanical gear

If your bicycle doesn't have mechanical gears, the issue might be related to the freewheel or cassette, depending on your bike's specific setup.

Tomahawk E Series Exercise bike loud peddling sound

Standard WD40 is just a 'quick fix' as it isn't an actual oil unless the can is clearly labelled as "Bike All Condition Lubricant". It'll be best to buy a proper light oil like 3in1, 151 Super oil or an actual chain lube. This 'clickey' noise. Is it random and happening every so often or is it a constant, regular click that changes with the speed your pedalling at? Check for slack in the chain. as you wiggle the chain up and down there should only be about a centimetre of movement in the chain. If it's too slack or too tight it can make strange noises. Check the axle bolts and nuts to make sure they're not loose. Check the wheel is mounted straight. If it's turned left or right the chain will 'skip' as it's slightly missing the cog teeth on the wheel. Use the frame at the rear end of the wheel as reference and measure how far the side of the wheel is from the frame on both sides. It should be about the same both sides.

New Balance 6100 Recumbent Bike making a clanking noise when pedaling

I have done a tremendous amount of research on this problem. New Balance (Fitness Quest) is out of business as of late 2012 and no parts are available. The main bearing or crank bearing set is 100% compatible with Proform part number 295560. Since New Balance put their name on this product, they have stated they will reimburse customers for the repairs.
