I changed my tyres this weekend for a nice new seat of Michelin Road 5's. Got a guy to mount and balance them on the rims for 30EUR and figured I'd do the removal and installation myself.
It was a bit more of an adventure than I'd hoped...
Removal went fine, I just had to drive around a bit to find someone who sold a 17 mm hex socket to remove the front axle. I really dig the hoverbike look.
Issues came when reinstalling. Rear wheel went on easily enough but when I installed the front wheel and tried to remount my calipers one of the bolts snapped due to probably over tightening it (don't buy cheap long torque wrenches and trust that the lower values will be accurate). To remove the snapped bolt I had to take my front wheel out again. When I removed the broken bit I tried to remount the front tyre but my bike started slipping from the front paddock stand since it's a bit too wide and the bike was maybe shifting around a bit. Luckily I had a ladder and ratchet strap nearby to lift it a bit that way. Got a new bolt this morning and now i can finally enjoy these great new tyres.
