I'll just throw this out there, but wasn't it Cycle Sports that took a torch to Emile's rear wheel?

You can start charging an instructor's fee Rick.   waytogo

I'm not qualified to be an instructor let alone charge for anything.  Plus, unfortunately, we have to deal with traffic. All that can be done is to practice some basics in the real world and hope that it helps.

I was at Andy's today...he has 2CTs in stock to fit my bike, and he's more than $50 cheaper than Cycle Sports...if Rick is going to help out with wheel removal, Andy's may be the way to go...you should give him a call 843-0484...  

Thanks Gene.   I shall give them a call tomorrow.  I think I am going to shoot for next Saturday if possible.

Yep. Which is what prompted me to get the proper tools now. I would have eventually gotten them anyway so no big deal.

Nice to know!...I've read of a few instances on the ducati.ms SF forum that the rear axle nut can be a pregnant dog...

Shows proper on my set up.  There is some sort of filter you can switch on and off in the preferences section of your profile.

Better yet, turn the filter back on and come back to this thread to read make the beast with two backs.  You'll get a kick out of what it changes the word to.

Rick,

Is tomorrow a good day for you for me to come to your shop to do the wheel removal/install?  Any particular time period is better for you?

Sure. No problemo. PM me your phone number. I should be down there around 11 am but I have to stop at the vet and then get a safety check. I'll try to get there earlier if I can. Once the wheels are off you will need your own car to transport the wheels to the shop of your choice.

Hey Jing, now that you've had them for a while, what are your thoughts on those tires?
