Did you hit the brake lever when you have the wheel off ?

More like stomped on that bitch... or he had a douchebag buddy come by and was dickin' off with the controls. I hate friends, that's why I don't have any.

That was my first thought. Make sure you didn't gouge your pads... if you do it sucks monkey ass.

Single sided swingarms and an electric air hammer FTW. I can remove my rear tire in about 22 seconds.

How long does it take to adjust your valves every week? There's always a tradeoff.

My valves have been 100% in spec for the past two services which is typical when they get over 20,000 miles. You just don't hear about many of them... as they don't usually get over 1500

Yeah I had to put the whole rear wheel on by myself. The guy that was supposed to help me "got feeling sick" and the perfect cure was MGS4
