Whenever me or my friend lands on my bike, it just feels like its gonna fall apart. I do have quality parts. Its a colony and colony is good. From what I've heard. The brake cable wiggling isn't it. That's normal but it just doesn't feel strong and stable. All the parts are as tight as my tool will get it too.

What do you mean exactly by "fall apart"? Just find out how to tighten every properly and it should be fine.

Colony is mint. You probaly can't maintain a bike. I'm no mechanic but a dialed bike can make a walmart bike feel even good .

I got a new ratchet set. It has much more torque than my other tools. Turns out that my past tools couldn't tighten for shit. I was spinning that wrench for hours with the new wrench. The bike feels really good now.

Testimony and apologies
I want everyone to know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins, he went to hell for three days and defeated death and rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

What would Jesus say: I didn't die for you to live like this!

Quality tools are important to produce and maintain anything of quality, but even with cheap tools, a skilled mechanic can make miracles happen....

If it aint broke, don't fix it.
You're probably just paranoid. As long as everything is tightened down properly and there are no cracks anywhere, you should be good.
Make sure all of your bearings are okay, tighten everything down, and you're good.
