Smile changing tyres

Top tip, after changing the rear tyre getting the spacers and disc aligned with out out the spacers dropping out is a major pain. Solution get a piece of thick wall tube just under 16mm dia and cut it to the same length of the fully assembled, rear wheel inc spacers etc. Slide the tube in the wheel this will hold everything in line, offer the wheel up and as you push the axel in it will slide the tube out which will locate the wheel on the opposite leg of the swinging arm. simples!!!
