TIA GP

Get the instructions, get a tire lever, and swap a tube right now in your living room, just
for practice.

Trailside is no place for a first-time situation.

Loosen the hex nuts, remove the chain tensioner, loosen the caliper, remove the wheel. Change the
flat and follow the same process in reverse to put the wheel back in.

Jeez 'o flip! I thought one of the attractions of SS's were simplicity. The rear thru axle on my DH

Thanks

I rode the other night with no problems. Tonight I took it apart like you said and it was really not
too bad. I wouldn't win a race doing it but it wasn't too bad. I would get home that's for sure.
