| 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. |

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. http://www.mcas.com.au/_product.php?...=1&prodid=7595
Do it yourself at home.

| 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. |
