What have I done?

Today I went out for a ride and being the curious person i was. Deciding to twist these knobs on my gear changer. These I later realised were for my cable tension and the bike doesn't seem to change as smoothly as before(note:I twisted them heaps). Can anyone help me out or should i go into my local bike store and get them to help me out?

So I've found bits for a V-Brake to Caliper conversion for my elcheapo 2nd hand MTB and I need some advice.

The bits I'm missing are:

1. Spokes
2. Brake Cable

My question for the forum is does the quality of the spokes really make any difference? (I bought a hub that has a disc mount and intend to lace it to my existing rims. The hub PCD is different to what I have and I will need to buy spokes.)
