Changing tires on wheels equipped with rimlocks...
« on: July 07, 2007, 12:29:54 PM »
What do I do different than without them?  Do I have to remove them?  How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing different. Loosen them off before you start.

Is this on a street bike?  If so, leave it off.  It will only make it harder to balance, and there is no real reason to use one.  They were primarily used off road, but many used them on the dragstrip.

Hodaka dirtbike.  It's a Wombat 125, so it's road legal, but will primarily be used in the dirt.
