Rear wheel removal

[flatdog]

Apart from the first time ...I always tie the front wheel to the centre stand in these instances.

Splash guard doesn't need to come off to remove wheel.

It certainly made it easy. And makes it easier to have a good clean while the wheel is out. Maybe next time I'll leave it on. Now I'm feeling confident.

Some of us leave the 'splash guard' off all the time! Doubt it serves any useful purpose.

The fitter was a good guy and with the bike only 6 months old and in mint condition he immediately offered to pay for a repaint. Accidents happen and that seemed a very fair offer. That was several months ago. Now I need a rear tyre, it made sense to get the wheel repaired. I want it done because I like to keep my bikes in A1 condition and it would always niggle me. The fitter paid the painter directly so all I need to do is take the wheel in.

The painter used by Wollaston quoted £216 including VAT for a full repaint. The painter used by SBW quoted £162 including VAT, and that's who I've gone with.

I'd have kept the cash. I doubt you have added £162 in resale value...

You'll cringe at my wheels as I change my own tyres - scratched by levers
