Edit Derailleur is working now just need to figure out the rear brakes. The rear v brake is touching the rear tire because it is not centered to frame any advice on fixing it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok the stock rear derailleur on my 1998 Trek 930 (http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1998&Brand=Trek&Model=930&Type=bike) aint gonna work.
I adjusted it all over but cog on the deraileur it self is touching the freewheel and cant be adjusted to not touch. This is with a 9C 2806 from ebikes.ca . Combine that with the fact that with the fact that the wheel is far enough from centered that I cant use the v-brakes with it. Should I get a different rear deraileur and run with no rear brakes? If so what kind?
Or should I just get a newer bike with disc brakes. Was looking at some Motobecanes because of the price. This is just for commuting to work and errands not for off roading.
I was looking at these 2 bikes

What do you think do these look like they would be good enough for commmuting purposes?
