You didn't break your derailer, you're just a post-hipster wannabe.

I can tell because literally the only thing you would have to do to make a bike single speed is shorten the chain.

I already took out the cables, shifters and derailleur but I was having problems with the freewheel.

I think what you say it's better, just shorten the chain is enough. I don't mind the cogs at all.

If your bike has disc hubs, you can buy a bolt-on solution

I am unemployed, got the bike very cheap and I don't have money (yet) to buy a new derailleur or sending it to the bike shop. I just learned to ride a bike 1 month ago and I read and watch tutorials about basic bike maintenance.

I just want a free and quick solution to keep using the bike because I am using for transportation and not only as a hobby.

I am not from USA, those conversion kits are not available in my country and if a bike shop could make the conversion it will be very pricey.

Take off deralliuer . Put chain in desired cog. Put chain back with proper length. Ss

doesn't it have to be aligned the chain with both the cog and the crank?

I wanted to take out the freewheel because a lot of places said that it have to be aligned.
