Front tire removal.

[rick danger]

I'll be doing my front tire tomorrow. Just want to mention in case I forget, if you take off your calipers, when putting them back on, bring the bolts close to tight, but don't tighten them fully without the front brake lever pulled. A zip tie will do it. It makes sure the pads are fully flat to the rotor

The brake calipers absolutely must be removed otherwise you will not be able to remove the wheel. For the axle it is a 19 mm male BTR and it must be tightened to 65 Nm. I just did it...

What calipers?

Indeed, I got front brake pads to do as well.

@rick danger I've never done that. What's your thinking there? I'm always up for learning new tricks.
