Hello All, this is my first time replacing the rear tire. Does the brake rotor and rear sprocket have to come off the rim to have the mechanic replace the rear tire? :dontknow: Thanks in Advance MikeL.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The sprocket just pulls off anyway. If you don't remove it will fall off. Remove the rubber isolators so you don't lose any. I have never taken my brake rotor off. It's never been an issue. Most car tire shops cannot balance the rear wheel. Some motorcycle shops can. Last time I got a car tire shop to change the tire and I had them put beads in and they work well.

DSprocket pulls off easy enough- I always unbolt the rotor just to avoid someone
I probably didn't need to remove the rotor, but 5 bolts its easy enough and the tire shop cant get it in a bind somehow and warp it.... just my habit,
for the 5 or six times Ive done it, but if Billy says not needed I may skip it next time.
Surely most tire jockeys will keep the rotor up and not let it get in a bind?
