If you don't have one already, you'll need a chain rivet tool to remove/reinstall the chains. Here is an inexpensive example from Amazon. You can get even cheaper ones at Walmart, if I remember correctly. Park Tool is a pretty solid brand, though and name-brand chain tools can certainly get much more expensive.

And a video on how to use it.

I've used Kmart/Walmart chains on 10-speed bikes before and they've worked OK. I wouldn't put one on my fancy road bike, but that's another story. You can also order higher-quality, but still cheap, chains online. Example.

I second the WD-40 soaking. If the chains are greasy, gasoline works as a cheap solvent (just be careful!). Most chains that just have surface rust can be rescued.

Best luck on the project bikes, I'm sure the kids will be thrilled!

No gear skipping. My old chain was rusted reallll bad since I have nowhere to leave my bicycle as I live in a small apartment so it stays outside and got rained on pretty badly over winter. Just bought a replacement (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001CN6QAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and will put it on I guess after a new freewheel.

Not totally clear on what you mean when you say "wheels are scratched and slashed", I'm guessing you mean the tires are damaged?

The front tire is probably the most important thing for safety if it's damaged, with the brake cables close behind.

So my budget for fixing all that would be (assuming it's the tires and not the wheels that's damaged):

New:

  • Chain: $9
  • Tires: $30
  • Bar tape: $8
  • Saddle: $23 - or get any old saddle from a flea market/off a junk bike to save a few bucks.
  • The cables you would need to take your old cables into the bike shop to buy new ones and have them cut to the same length, would probably cost about $20-30.

    Total cost: $90-100. Only special tool you'd need is a chain tool ($9) to adjust the length of the chain.
