  1. Anyone know how to remove the back wheel on my new bike with
    its fancy Inter-8 hub gears and roller brakes? While the
    Halfords manual helpfully tells me to wear a hat and ride as
    close to the edge of the road as possible, it fails to give
    any instructions for wheel removal with this set up.

    I may not be riding as far as I used to but one old habit is
    hard to die; always practice puncture repair in the comfort
    of my study with all new bikes.

    Lesson two. How to repair a puncture without removing
    the wheel.

    Unfortunately this means patching the tube in-situ rather
    than swapping the tube.

    Lesson 3. removing the wheel

    JPGs of the wheel? I've done wheels with drum or coaster
    brakes and hub gears. Without seeing pictures it is hard to
    give useful comment.

    Bingo. I'd found the former URL but it wasn't telling me
    what I wanted. This one does.

    I'll try it tomorrow. A test of my mono-dexterity as much as
    a test of the bike.
