I'm not a finance bro, just pointing out where it comes from.

https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/fixed-income/mm-millions/

In finance and accounting, MM (or lowercase “mm”) commonly denotes that the units of figures presented are in millions. The Roman numeral M denotes thousands. In this context, MM is the same as writing “M multiplied by M,” which is equal to “1,000 times 1,000,” which equals 1,000,000 (one million).

While Roman numerals are technically additive (MM is really 1,000 plus 1,000 or 2,000), MM is still a fairly common way of abbreviating millions, especially in certain industries like oil and gas. This guide will explore how the notation should be used, as well as alternative symbols that are used in practice.

I got ratioed for suggesting that OP was a piece of shit for justifying staying on twatter. I wonder where those chuds are now?

M is roman numerals for thousands, so MM is a thousand thousands = million.

baseless fearmongering.

right on! just be careful you don't tighten the spokes so much that they poke through the rim tape. I made that mistake and punctured waaay to many tubes. Now I just let my LBS true them. I'm terrible at it and they'll do it for 10 bucks a wheel.

If you're content with the wheels I would maybe look at replacing the brake pads next once you can verify that they function well with the trued wheels.

After that, I'd look at the drive train and see what can be done about the indexing on the front and rear derailleurs, limit screws, ect and maybe take the rear hub apart and make sure that is all in proper working order [prongs engage, disengage correctly], give the cassette a good look over for wear [shark fins] and check the chain for stretching [chain tool].

How much rust is on the chain and gears?

After that, maybe look at the bottom bracket and seeing what can be replaced/upgraded to make sure there's no clicking, rubbing, and making sure you have a solid chain line to the cassette.

I'd rock a #3 right now!

How out of true were the wheels that the brakes didn't work? When you say it wasn't aligned, what wasn't aligned? You may have an incredibly unsafe BSO instead of something worth fixing up.
