What does it mean?It just means that there is no neutral support and you must have put
wheels into either the pit, or support car in a road race, before you
can take any out during the race.
Since I use a dedicated set of race only wheels and tires that I don't
use for training I just put the set I use for training in the pit or
car.
It's a good idea to paint or marker some ID on the rims just to be
safe, and when you put wheels in you'll usually put a paper ID tag with
them too. I usually slide it between the spokes where they cross.
Another thing that is a huge help is to take an intro to racing clinic
like this one if it's available in your area.
