Re: back wheel

I don't believe you need anything except a socket or wrench for the axle nut unless I'm not understanding your question Robert.

Re: back wheel

From memory I think it's a 32mm.
Don't you have the OEM toolkit?

Re: back wheel

The tool kit that came with mine had a crap screwdriver and helmet lock cable, nothing more. Worst tool kit ever. I concur on the 32mm socket size for the rear axle nut.

Re: back wheel

£75 just to fit them!
That's more than half what I just paid to buy a set of Corsa's.

Re: back wheel

Good God man, that's $150.00!!! I take my wheels off and carry them and my new tires to the dealer. $30.00 total to switch both tires that way.

Re: back wheel

I have the Pilot Powers and love them. Only negative is a tendancy to slide the rear a bit in quick full lean transitions. I paid $305 for the regular Powers mounted and balanced.
