Austin is on a distinguished road
Is it me or.....

.......does anyone else find refitting the back wheel a right pain in the arse. Sometimes it just falls back together but mostly I spend ages.....
The disc won't go in the caliper, then one of the pads gets dislodged and I end up taking them out ( new pads so not much space).... And.
The wheel just won't lift into position without the spacers falling out....and
When I do get the spindle in it turns when I tighten the nut, and the stupid thin spindle head (24mm)won't take a spanner properly. And most annoying of all.....
Then the chain adjusters move backwards when I do tighten the spindle making chain adjustment difficult.

I have had loads of bikes but never had so much difficulty refitting the back wheel on any of them.

Anyone else or is it me?
