Author Message   Duckbuell Posted on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 - 08:38 pm:        Howdy again! I am removing my S3 wheels to have Pirelli Diablo Stradas mounted. How do you deal with the belt when removing the rear wheel? Do you slacken the axle adjusters, push wheel forward and slip the belt off? On re-install put the adjusters back to their original position and make sure belt is not too tight? Thank you for any tips!

Very easy process and I've found that 1 inch of ground clearance makes reversing the process mucho easier. Take your time and you'll see that it's not a problem.

Shooter, I grew up in Seattle, and rode many wet miles there! I miss the beauty of the North West. Cheers, Patrice
